      🔥 New blog post!
      
      My post on two-state dark mode toggles sparked a lot of discussion around what the optimal dark mode toggle design is.
      
      But should you have a (persistent) dark mode toggle *at all*?
      
      I have since been convinced that for most websites, the answer is NO.

      I wish I felt more enthused about Bitwarden since learning they changed their company values from Gratitude, Responsibility, Inclusion, and Transparency to Gratitude, Responsibility, Innovation, and Trust
      
      Can’t have inclusion or transparency, I mean, imagine. In this economy?

      If you have a pet that sometimes snags your clothes, or if you're clumsy like me, I've found Dritz Snag Nab It to be very useful. It's a needle with rough grooves on the tail end. Push the needle through the cloth and it'll pull the snag to the fabric's underside, where it will be hidden.
      A green plaid flannel shirt with two snags on the face side of the fabric. There's a Snag Nab It needle next to the snag.
