Does anyone else go back and scroll thru your 2010s Tumblr and die a little inside 🖤

If only Stardew Valley would also save me from feeling the weight of this fascist regime.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Excited for the Candied Hearts show in Phoenixville this Sunday!

An infographic. There are six panels. 1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded. 2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text. 3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky. 4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german. 5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say. 6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

I felt nostalgia for Post Secret today, then just discovered they’re alive and well and on blue sky ✨ 🦋

This is Shredder. He is 1.5yo and enjoys playing with his stuffed squirrel toy and chomping on plastic and paper. He likes to be called “Shreddy Spaghetti”, “Shred”, “Shredward”, “Shredonator”, “Shreddifer”, “Shreddison”, and “Shredmond”. Ironically, he does not like the shredder in my office.

Now I wish I straightened the frames before I left 🤦‍♀️ - oh well.

I stopped in at Mint and see someone purchased my “Chestnut & Broad” print. Need to add another! 4 prints sold here so far and it feels good 🥰

Watching the Golden Globes and I’m so over seeing commercials for insurance, pharma, gambling, etc. - what a boring and evil reality. Could we broadcast *anything* else?

Vend at art festivals. Eat more plants. Ask for help. Walk outside. See more live music. Take more pictures. Journal.

Yes! Love mine after a year so far

My “Yule Doodles” of 2024

All I want for Christmas is a new tattoo.

Retro pixel game, Stardew Valley, featuring a purple-haired farmer and her dog and snow-covered farm.

It’s the first day of winter in my current Stardew save and for the smallest second I felt “first snow day” nostalgia ✨❄️

I’m too tired to do anything, especially to go to bed.

LIFE HACK: Answer your phone "Hello you're on the air" and 99% of the time people will just hang up.

Do you ever just look at your cat and are overcome with immense love and warmth, and just admire how completely adorable they are?

There’s always time for a little rebelliousness. Or rather, a lot.

This is one of my earlier digital illustrations when I first started exploring #procreate.
Surprisingly, it’s gotten positive attention, for something I considered an ordinary doodle.

See a bunny, post a bunny! 🐰🌼
