A lot of big breaking news stories involve visuals, such as timelines of events, photos, memes, and screen shots. All of those images need alt text. All of them. Don't leave out people who use screen readers.
This is true every day. And it's true this week, especially.

Information could literally be the difference between life and death. Especially when sharing news, USE ALT TEXT.
We deserve as much access to important information as anyone else.

100% agree!
Unless your dog has been trained to perfectly recall THEY SHOULD NOT BE LOOSE OUTSIDE OF A FENCED YARD. I’m fricken tired of people’s untrained dogs charging and trying to attack my leashed dog. Take your ‘they’re friendly!’ BS and cram it

“HateAid claims that Meta's smart glasses breach German privacy laws: specifically, the Telecommunications, Digital Services and Data Protection Act. It argues that selling the devices is a criminal offense because of their covert recording capabilities.”
German nonprofit files criminal complaint over Meta smart glasses privacy - Engadget
Worrying about Google Glassholes almost feels quaint in comparison.

"Bluesky is dying" bro you're talking about a website full of 38 year olds who have fringe political beliefs and listen to black metal bands with >1000 listeners on spotify, nobody here cares about popularity

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Overheard an irate driver bemoaning that cyclists are using the roads that she is paying for. How do we educate them so they stop thinking that they own the roads. We ALL pay for infrastructure through our taxes but the cars cause the most damage.

There was a time when auto accidents killed over 50,000 Americans each year. Laws mandated seatbelts, which research demonstrated effective, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

My dog has seen my suitcase and he is on HIGH ALERT. Will not leave my sid, following me to every room, lying down between me and doorways.
He is going to *lose his shit* when he realizes that it’s a family road trip and he’s coming with us.

A second round of cyclospora and a new egg recall for salmonella. Weird how this suddenly starts happening when we roll back safety regulations and put idiots in charge.

I read children’s books all the time. It’s my job. And my joy. But I especially enjoy reading in the summer to select 8 books for 5th grade novel studies that I will do with some awesome kids the next school year. And this lovely has risen to the top of the possible pile. ❤️

I cannot impress upon people enough that being a teenage gay person now is unrecognizable to what it was like in the 90s and early 00s
"gay guy wasn't excited about being gay growing up in Indiana in the 1990s" stunning news

I think there's a microgenerational gap between older Millennials/young Gen-X and younger Millennials/Gen-Z on this - being old enough to understand the Matthew Shepard attack, not knowing any out gay adults, not having many queer kids at school - and worse if you grew up in an exurb/rural vs urban.
It's unhinged that so many people are digging out Pete Buttigieg's comment about how he didn't want to be gay as a teenager, but that he's glad now that no magic pill exists to make you straight, and twisting it into something completely divorced from what it was like to be a queer kid in that era.

Any time I've tried to read a novel in the past I've had to give up because my brain was just too loud and foggy. I'm finally in a place mentally where I can just sit down and read a book and I'm really enjoying it. If you're like me and you gave up trying, it may be worth trying again

Did you know disabled people are far more likely to be the victims of domestic abuse?
It’s because we’re trapped.
When you can’t perform your own activities of daily living, you endure abuse to survive.
Another reason we need better safety nets and social supports.

Just finished reading Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk.
In a remote Polish village, a real humanist & animal rights whodunnit. The pacing is slow, but enveloping. The characters are fascinating & the writing beautiful.
Loved this book.
