Fuzzy face😆

Look, this is just textbook scientific method:

Background: Phrenology is pseudoscience.
Experiment: Dogs come in many shapes.
Conclusion: I use phrenology to evaluate people.
Discussion: Buy Huberdude supplements for neck girth and high T flow state optimization.

Some academic publishing contract advice: make sure your contract specifies 1. a qualified human copyeditor will copyedit on the MS; 2. a qualified human proofreader will proofread the MS; 3. that production must have a proper system for version control (!).

Hope you have a quick recovery! 

Sending support as a blind scientist. Being a scientist isn't hard; it's the ableism and inaccessibility that make this a difficult career path under ordinary circumstances. And nothing is ordinary now. 

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I will go further and say that people using the "r"-word are hoping that bringing it back opens the door to bringing back the "n"-word, and is strongly correlated with the people who want to carve off trans rights as a stepping stone to claw back gay rights in general

Where's the alt text? 

Dogs are very important to me :) I love hearing about their expressions and what they're doing, which lots of alt texts don't include, especially the AI ones. Yours are great.

Thanks for all the dog alt texts!

I made this ASL video about the SALUTE/ACTUAR acronyms re: observing ICE, but @bsky.app won't let me post here because, best I can tell, hands are moving too much? Anyway, if you have a moment to share, many d/hh folks have 1st lang that's not English.

Thank you for including alt text 

Think about how annoyed you get when your connection is bad and photos aren't loading so you don't know what people are talking about.

That's what Blind people regularly have to deal with when you fail to copy and paste text from your articles into alt text, fellow journalists.

Our new Mayor uses alt text? Most politicians and journalists can't be bothered. Amazing! Thanks!

Yeah I really don't get it. My mom isn't going to start a new exercise routine at this age. She also has other contraindications. But the subject of these medications keeps coming up.

I'm so sorry about the reply guys. I've been appreciating reading your thoughts since early Covid. 

They keep recommending these meds for my 82-year-old Mom. Losing strength is about the last thing she needs. 

Also, being a high profile person doesn't exempt you from the responsibility of providing access. 

Nearly 2 dozen states sue the Trump administration over funding for CFPB The attorneys general say the Trump administration is refusing to accept funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which could hurt consumers in their states.

I'm suing the Trump administration for making it harder to protect consumers by illegally trying to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION DAY - January 2 NATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION DAY National Science Fiction Day promotes the celebration of science fiction as a genre, its creators, history, and various media, too.

It is National Science Fiction Day!

Happy new year! 

Extending application deadline to early January so still time to get your applications in! #DisabledInSTEM

Don't guide anyone's hand without their permission. It is disorienting and unhelpful. This is what the alt text says is going on in the cartoon. 

Don't worry about guidelines. Imagine it's a real human being that you're sharing your comic with. Imagine describing it on the phone to someone.  make sure there's enough information for the reader to get the humor/criticisM/whatever the point is of that particular work.  thanks for doing it. 

What an elaborate excuse for laziness that excludes people!
