A scatterplot of books read, with read date (2023–2027) on the x-axis and original publication date (-950–2080) on the y-axis. The vast majority of the books are roughly in the 1900s and 2000s. One point, published in -750, has clearly skewed the chart’s axes, making all books published in the last century incredibly difficult to discern in any more detail.
Tuna, a tabby cat, peers out at the world forlornly from inside a lime-green cat tent, which in turn is atop a gray armchair. The armchair also has a decorative pillow with a d20 tessellation pattern.
Two tins of McCormick-brand ground black pepper, one much bigger and one much smaller.

Still from Back to the Future. In the Delorean, Doc Brown tells Marty and Jennifer, “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need ‘roads.’”
Tuna, a tabby cat, lies on the floor, belly up and curling around the legs of a chair, basking in rays of light. His mouth is open in a big yawn.
§2.1 First Rule of ARIA Use: If you can use a native HTML element [HTML51] or attribute with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. Under what circumstances may this not be possible? • If the feature is available in HTML [HTML51] but it is not implemented or it is implemented, but accessibility support is not. • If the visual design constraints rule out the use of a particular native element, because the element cannot be styled as required. • If the feature is not currently available in HTML.
Tuna, a tabby cat, is curled up on a couch, taking advantage of three different soft blankets. His rear is on one, his chest and front paws are on a second, and his head is resting on a third.
Tuna, a tabby cat, seen from behind as he sits in a living room, patiently watching a Christmas tree.
Tuna, a tabby cat, looks up and away from the camera, eyes wide and pupils dilated. The camera is below his eye level and looking up at him, making him look big in the frame.
Tuna, a tabby cat, atop a bundle of sheets and blankets on a bed. His face is partially obscured by the blankets, but nevertheless, he is sleepily, squintingly glaring at the camera.
Tuna, a tabby cat, stares at an orange cat through the backyard door. The orange cat is looking back at Tuna.
