Alt text: it's supposed to clue people in.

Imagine reading out your alt text to a friend.

Would they then be able to join in the conversation, on equal terms with someone who'd seen the original picture? Or did you leave out a crucial bit?

It isn't only for blind people. It might just be that someone's server is running slow that day and the pic hasn't arrived. But same principle either way: loop people in, if they happen to not be able to see the pic just then.

Icarus would go to a sex shop and ignore the staff's recommendation to start with a smaller buttplug.

Me: I made a model of Mount Everest!

Them: Is it to scale?

Me: No, it’s to look at.

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is:

"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

or:

"The right oppresses, the left liberates."

(Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)

Hey humans, sorry I wasn't responsive lately, been having the worst tonsillitis for the past week, high fever and bed ridden. Miss being active here and hearing from ya'll. I'm actually really impressed with nature rn. Like this is so awful, this bacteria seems to be penicillin resistant, but I'm also impressed. Been on antibiotics for 5 days and it's only getting worse. I want some of that bad bitch energy the bacteria has to kick her out of my system.

“I wouldn’t go anywhere near her right now. She’s rage cleaning.”

I still remember that one time when I cried because I dropped my bagel cream cheese side down ten minutes ago.

I was booted from Fight Club for suggesting we crochet instead

Normally I only post pictures that I took myself, but today I'll make an exception with a picture a friend made. As I had to stay in the valley due to a back injury, I was not able to accompany my friends to the summit of this epic mountain: Store Trolltind (1'788m / 5'886ft).

Although the mountain is not spectacular in elevation (even for Norway it is not especially high), it does have the highest vertical cliff of the whole of Europe! From the summit it drops almost completely to the valleyfloor (1'700m / 5'600ft drop).

My back hurt, but my heart even more.

@KFClinton @dibi58 @ScottSoCal @TonyStark via @GottaLaff A reminder that last term, Justice Thomas authored the opinion that says *when your state-appointed lawyer* fails to introduce evidence of your innocence in state court, that's *your fault* - and it's illegal for a federal court to consider the evidence

Born in 1831, Rebecca Lee Crumpler
became the first Black woman to graduate from medical school in the U.S.

Despite facing extreme racism & sexism, she practiced medicine with a focus on women & children. She also provided medical care to freed slaves.

In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published her Book of Medical Discourses, which was one of the first medical publications written by a Black author. There are no existing photos of her. https://cfmedicine.nlm.nih.gov/physicians/biography_73.html #HistoryRemix #history #science

It's a very strange feeling having lived through a brief window of enlightened attitudes and ambivalence toward our existence, knowing under other circumstances, I could have transitioned as a kid, gotten blockers, etc. and passed seamlessly into the world as the woman I've always been.

It's even more horrifying knowing there are trans kids just like me who will be denied those opportunities or forced to flee their homes in order to have even a modicum of acceptance.

DIENSTAG ABEND,

Stammtisch der Omas ist rum, viel gehört, viel geredet, 2 geplante Veranstaltungen, schee wars.

Macht es Euch bequem, holt Euch einen wunderbaren Gedanken und kommt gut durch die Nacht.

#newHere yes I am new here. I have fled the musky hell scape. Just getting my bearings but so far the general communal vibes are warm and welcoming. I’m looking forward to getting more oriented to get the most out of this prehistoric elephant.

I had been waiting, waiting, waiting for the pussy willows to bloom because I knew they’d be the first attractant for the pollinators.

I was not disappointed yesterday morning. This morning, however, an inch of new snow and oh so cold temperatures until the weekend. Hold on pollinator friends!
