β€œI love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” -James Baldwin

I've seen people saying they don't include alt-text with their art/photos because they don't want to 'explain the meaning' of their work.

Alt text isn't for people who can see your images perfectly. It's for those who can't. Your desire to 'let the viewer decide the meaning' isn't more important than people's disability needs, and the alt text and meaning of the art are mutually exclusive. Get over yourself. If you have the spoons, add alt text. If you don't, use # Alt4Me or :helpdescribe: .

Pedro Pascal is my secret crush. Possibly not entirely secret, after this.

I like John Scalzi's take on Anson Mount as Pike:
"Also, SNW’s cast is generally pretty and pleasant and I’m enjoying watching Anson Mount’s pompadour possibly more than a nominally straight man should."

Day 25: Favorite Discovery episode

Season Two, Episode One: Brother

Love the new Captain Pike :tribble:

Hello. I’m pretty quiet on here, but I would like to connect with other people in the Wilson’s Disease community. A hashtag yielded nothing, so I’m starting it here. If you see this, please amplify. #WilsonsDisease #raredisease #rarediseases #rarediseaseadvocate #livertransplant #liverdisease #wilsondisease

I once described those kinds of laws - enforced against me or not - as legal terrorism. They serve to keep me and everyone like me on notice that I'm not allowed to relax, to be myself, because they're watching me, and waiting for a misstep.
I'm cis, but I'm gay, and I'm old enough to have been an adult when it was illegal (a felony, even) for me to have sex with another consenting adult in my own home.

MAGA Republicans object to U.S. aid going to Ukraine to help the democracy preserve itself and defend its citizens against an unprovoked attack by Putin-led Russia. But those same take no issue with taxpayer dollars funding Secret Service-provided protection of a twice-impeached former U.S. president who committed crimes while attempting to overthrow of their own democracy.

MAGA Republicans, along with the Republicans whose cunning and cowardice enables them, are America’s shame.
#MAGA #Ukraine

So the GOP that gave us BOTH Iraq wars and the Afghanistan war wants us to believe they oppose helping Ukraine because they no longer support foreign wars. In reality it's because the GOP is Pro-Putin and anti-democratic. Period.

So, I was trying to draw a baby possum in a pumpkin, but I never got it to look right. I think it looks like some kind of Monkey Badger, what do you think?
