This was boosted into my feed without alt text. I’ve added alt text.
It sounds like great advice if your health insurance denies a claim.
It took less than a minute to add the alt text. Please do this.
@StarCitizenNews so, to whoever is running the bot... looks like you have an escaping problem or something to that effect;)

Someone has created a petition for the UK government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender 
We're certain that the UK government will refuse to act on it, but it'd be nice if such a large number of people voted for it that they couldn't ignore it 
Boosts welcome

Oh look, it's #StarCitizen free-fly time again! This one's the big one, for the once-a-year in-universe ship show event, the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo #IAE2954 and if you want to try the game, and any of the well over a hundred ships in the game, and indeed any of the gameplay at all, here's my little rundown of what's what: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarCitizenFreebies/comments/1gxe0l7/starf3v9nvlk_for_5000_uec/ Also, if you want help, or anything seems confusing, give us a poke! :)
@cinnamonvector damn, that's tidy!

This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

The Streissand Effect is in full swing
@toomanyfoxes I did indeed see the reply, *and* the adorable fox that just got posted! Excellent, and thank you!
Yeah, I guess I'll have to try and convince the instance admin to upgrade to something slightly less outdated at some point :)
@toomanyfoxes it *looks* like maybe it worked this time, it now says "unfollow" instead - I do not see the user icon, but that could be unrelated (the media in the posts does seem to load, at least in the account page)
@toomanyfoxes just tried to refollow (utc 07:44), let's see what happens :) correct, I do not see posts from the new account!
@toomanyfoxes@botsin.space I poked the follow button a day or two ago for @toomanyfoxes@icy.arcticfluff.eu and looking at it now it shows as "follow requested", dunno what's happening there :)
@faoluin @erin_kitsune concur fully there, Qt would fit that description very nicely :)

Guess what just launched? https://writingmonth.org
I'm proud to announce #WritingMonth, a challenge to meet your writing goals in the next 30 days. Pick your own goal that best challenges you and write your novel, short stories, poems, stage or screen play, blog posts, or any other writing project as part of a growing community of writers.
Note: I had to rush development a lot to make it by the November deadline, so there are a few things still missing or incomplete, but overall the site is ready to start up our challenge. I'll be continuing to fill in new and upgraded features as time allows over the coming days and weeks.
Boosts are very welcome!
@darkfox @lettosprey most of my stickers are made by Aspentangle (telegram) :)
@Plus_Ultra ...so many spelling mistakes in that post, goodness!
@Plus_Ultra and he's just... a bug gamer need person, and I could see hum put on a hat and sunglasses and just, you know, drop by cituzencon unannounced next year ;)

Tapping the sign again:
Being autistic does not make anyone sexist, racist, eugenicist, an advocate for gendered violence, an apologist for child abuse, or any of the things that white dudes in open source technology are starting to be held accountable for.
Being an *asshole* makes someone an advocate for abuse.
Stop infantilizing grown-ass adults.
Criticism of a sexual harasser is not ableist. You know what's ableist? Your colleagues who refuse to prioritize accessibility in FLOSS.
