On Link Underlines
TL;DR: In general, I recommend underlining links in body content. In the absence of a better style appropriate for a specific site, this is the way to go. It is amazing to me how this suggestion causes so much angst and fighting.
Avoid Default Browser Focus Styles
It is not uncommon to see developers and designers forego creating focus styles for controls on web sites and applications.

“Part III” in “Making Things and Drawing Boundaries” on Manifold
Foregrounding the interdisciplinary character of experimental methods and hands-on research, this collection asks what it means to “make” things in the humanities. Comprising almost forty chapters from ninety practitioners across twenty disciplines, Making Things and Drawing Boundaries speaks directly and extensively to how humanities research engages a growing interest in “maker” culture, however “making” may be defined.
“Chapter 15” in “Making Things and Drawing Boundaries” on Manifold
In 1941, the United States Navy commissioned the husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames to design a lightweight splint to get wounded soldiers safely out of the battlefield.

I Am Not Broken: The Language of Disability
I was at work yesterday talking to a coworker about my upcoming surgery when I mentioned, laughing, “I’m broken,” with a shrug. My coworker laughed, and I laughed and she moved on and I stayed right there, rooted to the floor, thinking about the words that had just slipped into my dialogue.
