@suzisteffen.bsky.social @a11yawareness.bsky.social Thanks for this! I wish more people would alt text.

@suzisteffen.bsky.social @angryblacklady.blacksky.app Holy shit. … I visited Bergen Belsen once. With a whole group of other college studentswho I thought didn’t show proper reverence, ALA “Hey Buddy, back up, I can’t get this whole burial mound into my camera.”

Terrible to contemplate, but could this have been an inside job? Consider: the shooter was affiliated with the CIA in Afghanistan and was vetted and approved as someone who helped. And if he wanted to just off some guardsmen, there were closer ones in Portland, were there not?

The fuck is this trash? Looks like I made the right decision in unsubscribing.

Russia has been cultivating Trump as an asset for 40 years, former KGB spy says Yuri Shvets told The Guardian that the KGB had identified Trump as a potential asset as far back as the 1980s.

Check it out. I just changed my handle from bbrannan to parasight. Voila!

Changes! I've got a new handle here parasight.bsky.social. I will probably change to one of my new domains which I have to figure out what we're doing with, parasiteclass.us and parasiteclassmates.com. Who's in, and what shall we do with those?

A screenshot of a tweet by Liam Nissan™ (@theliamnissan) that reads: "Elon Musk looks like Mike Myers playing Elon Musk" The image in the tweet shows Elon Musk standing indoors, wearing a dark coat, a gray t-shirt, and a black cap that appears to have text on it. His expression looks somewhat awkward or surprised. The background includes gold curtains and a window with a snowy outdoor view, suggesting a formal setting. The tweet humorously compares Musk’s appearance to actor Mike Myers portraying him in a comedic impression.

Can’t unsee.

Know what I want? I want the authors of Yorufukurou to come out with a version for Bluesky.

Considering that the platform has made adding alt text *incredibly easy*, there's really no reason not to add it.

Huh. Someone's taking a page out of the United States' book. Really, do y'all think that's a good idea given what our country is doing right now?!

And what, specifically, would you have Canada and Mexico do instead? Roll over and take it, or what′? Also, isn't it interesting that our supposed enemy has a lower tariff imposed?

Remember that screenshotted posts and memes especially need your alt text.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

It's a bit infuriating, since it's not even hard to add alt text.

But it isn't even just Donner. It's the whole North Pool complex, up to and including Santa. Until they need something, at which point they love him but never apologize or acknowledge their previous assholery. Not once.

The Sound of Fear on Air It is an ominous sign that Morning Joe felt it had to apologize for something I said.

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it.

I'd love to know what's going on. Sadly, it's a graphic (one presumes of text), with no alt text tag. So it excludes blind and vision impaired people who care about democracy. Considering that Bluesky has an easy way to include alt text, this...isn't great.

Now here's a deal for someone. If you have an older iPhone, like 11 or older especially, but *most* especially 8 or X or older, jump on this.
This is nuts! Get an iPhone 13 and unlimited data service for an entire year for $395 - Tom's Guide

I still need to read the article, but...the headline.. *BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!*
ISPs offer such excellent customer service they don't need regulating, say ISPs - 9to5Mac

You can, it's a little weird though. Lots of interacting with collections. What I wouldn't give for a Yorufukurou for Bluesky.

Hey, anyone know of a bluesky client for either Windows or Mac that works well with whichever OS's respective screen readers?

Right behind you, friend!

I wonder the same for many populations, not least mine. Especially after seeing a headline that Walmart is rolling back DEI initiatives. So, what, now that DEI is no longer politically expedient, we're not doing that...like...never mind being the right thing to do and all. I worry for all of us.

My nose bleeds for him.

Sounds like life is pretty good there! We're also making our preparations, and by we, I mostly mean Angie. She lives for this stuff. Happiest when cooking for lots of people.
