Will never stop making the joke that AliExpress is a front for the IRGC and their Shia revolutionary agenda.

made my character in GTA V into cop and drove around suburbia in an armored vehicle looking for off-leash dogs to shoot because i want to understand the stresses our law enforcement officers are under on a daily basis

You don't have to be rude. There are also plenty of other differences between the US and Serbia that we could list. My point was that Milosevic was only protected by Serbia's lack of membership in the ICC until the government was changed by the people. There's no reason that can't happen here, too.

sobbing into the ruins of my just-rediscovered Monogram USA/USSR 1:144 scale Ballistic Missile Set Plastic Model Kit, clutching the cat close, wiping my tears on his fur (but not against the grain) as I stutter "the future was supposed to be star trek. but all we got was the New-START wreck"

For instance, does using an asterisk throw off a screen reader? What sorta advice do folks who use these tools have for those of us who fortunately do not yet have a need for them?

(Emphasis on "yet", you will need them someday)

Trying to get better at adding alt text to images. I have a few asks of folks.

1) If I don't add alt text, feel free to remind me in the thread to do better! I won't take it personally, because I *do* need to do better there.

2) What are some good/bad formatting/form issues with alt text?

A cartoon meme depicting a car salesman slapping the roof of the International Criminal Court at The Hague in front of an inquiring customer. The text reads "*Slaps Roof of International Criminal Court* 'This bad boy can house *so* many Trump administration officials"

okay but the funniest thing here is in the past i've when i've told people about this, i start the story with "i had to skip my graduation" and end it with "it got moved to tacoma" and every time somebody mentions that "i actually get why you consider it moving to tacoma to be a cancellation"

Make it clear to your students, to the community, and to the world that WOU is not a home for hate, for deceitful political propaganda videos. And be glad your introductory lesson here was a handful of sad sack jokers.

That ended with my graduation being moved to a different city due to multiple shooting threats by right-wing extremists.

They are notable exceptions to the constitutional guarantee of free speech. So that line of argument doesn't hold here. You can, and should, control access to your campus by political agitators.
Failure to do so only invites further provocation. Look no further than Evergreen State College in 2017.

You have the opportunity to capitalize on your students bravery by showing everybody around that your campus is and remains a safe space for legitimate, respectful discourse. Schools have never allowed any and all free speech.

I find it a tad bit strange that Western Oregon University has yet to make a public statement about the right-wing agitators who came to their campus yesterday to film a political disinformation video and were confronted by a significant number of students.
