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

I like John Scalzi's take on Anson Mount as Pike:
"Also, SNWβs cast is generally pretty and pleasant and Iβm enjoying watching Anson Mountβs pompadour possibly more than a nominally straight man should."
Day 25: Favorite Discovery episode
Season Two, Episode One: Brother
Love the new Captain Pike
Hello. Iβm pretty quiet on here, but I would like to connect with other people in the Wilsonβs Disease community. A hashtag yielded nothing, so Iβm 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.
That's some serious side-eye Zelenskyy is giving Dotard.
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 Americaβs shame.

In 2020 I painted a total of 26 pet portraits. This is one of them; his name is Alfred, and he is a black cat with a white spot on his chest. Painted with acrylics on canvas.

It's sad, because it's true.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
