I keep seeing folks post:

‘this is what alt text is for’ and then the alt text provides additional info, but doesn’t describe the image.

Imagine you’re not sighted: sitting through that and still not knowing what you’re looking at. It feels mean.

Please put extra info in a thread, please and ty 🙏

Day 13 – where do I write?

The sofa, sometimes on my laptop, sometimes in a notebook.
I often use my phone to jot down ideas, but I never write write on it. (Unless it's a poem / lyric that I have to get down 'now'. Do I write poetry / make music? No. But gotta catch the muse when she flies past.

That's totally fair. Would a shelf underneath for remotes or dreamies (not fabric-covered) be more doable? That way no mechanisms involved at least

You definitely made a good call giving the legs colour!
New Idea just unlocked – can you make a footstool with storage?

Ahhhhh! At least they're small, but the idea of making a thing more than once is bad enough XD

Alt text: a little girl (3?) in a blue dress and red headscarf screaming or singing, whilst the wind blows directly at her. A camel, that is laying down behind the kid, has the same expression

Sometimes I'm the little girl, sometimes the camel, but always screaming into the wind

There’s an archery guy that shoots from a weighted pole. Do you have room for something like that?

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....

I am highly familiar with the patter of tiny 🐭 feet. Also squirrel.
One landed on my foot one morning when I was making tea.
We stared at each other for 5 secs, before its reflexes kicked back in and it shot off 😂
