Thinking about what shape note songs would sound like in Spanish

Some of y’all have never said in full choir girliepop chest voice LAUDAMUS TE BENEDICIMUS TE and truly u are missing out.

Imagine if I could belt out the hymns and anthems like I do and also understand every word.

After I become fluent in Spanish and find out how far I can get with picking up Mandarin and Japanese again, I might take Ecclesiastical Latin as a little treat.

I get it. The UI for entering alt-text here and on most other apps is a pain in the ass. Unnecessarily so. But if you’re gonna do it, you have to remember it’s for someone who can’t see your images well or at all. For them to find your alt-text bonus joke funny, you still have to put all the context

Like, being a silly goose in the alt-text is fine as long as you still describe the full content of the image.

I’ve seen alt-text of post screenshots very recently that had sarcastic jokes about the content instead of the full content itself. It doesn’t matter if the person in the screenshot is saying some smooth-brained bullshit. Type it out in the alt-text so screenreader users know what they said in full.

It’s to describe an image with enough reasonable context that a screen reader user who *cannot see your images BTW* can understand your post/thread in full just as a sighted person can. This means transcribing screenshots posts and quote posts in full.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but putting jokes and commentary in the alt-text field isn’t the purpose of alt-text and isn’t meeting the accessibility purpose of it.

Everyone who was at the Council of Nicaea was literally just a guy.

Mainline Protestant church names be like “YOU’RE Squidward. HE’S Squidward. I’M SQUIDWARD!!”

If I ask you what church you go to and you’re like “First United” or “First Congregational,” that’s like if I asked you what grocery store you go to and you just tell me “the market.”

That’s what he gets for being wrong. Ratboys slaps.

Benito Bowl and MUNA in the same week. Sapphic boricuas just stay winning?????

Just watching clips and reaction streams until the full HQ set is posted.

Raising up the culture like that. 10/10 no notes. This diaspora kid with weird imposter syndrome issues receives the gift. 🇵🇷

P fucking R 🇵🇷

Happy Benito Bowl to all who celebrate

🇵🇷

*Nadia Bolz-Weber has entered the chat*

*yes she’s Lutheran but the vibe is still similar*

The Subarus are a major green flag.

It’s just so great to be a mewithoutYou fan because Hayley Williams and Julien Baker are also mewithoutYou fans and Lucy Dacus had Aaron sing “Bullseye” with her an good art begets good art.

Never mind jobs you had; tell me five classes you took at university.

1. Christian Iconography (the actual title was cooler)
2. Theological Themes in Children’s Literature
3. Critical Theory
4. Photoshop
5. Music and Philosophy (or something like that)

Whatever Aaron Weiss read that made Ten Stories happen

Homestar Runner, badger badger mushroom, everything on New Grounds, anything said in any anime club between 2004-2007. Some people didn’t live the history. 🤣

I’m not saying the brain rot isn’t real bc it is. I’m just saying it’s not new.

Millennials freaking out over the brain rot of 6-7 as if we weren’t watching SpongeBob heeheehahaing at “you know what’s funnier than 23? 24!!!”

Hayley Williams' "True Believer" is For the Ones Who Stayed, Yet Left A haunting condemnation of gentrification, racism, and Christian nationalism

I had me some ✨thoughts✨ about Hayley Williams and the deconstructing girlies. taylorramage.substack.com/p/hayley-wil...

Next time, put on Wizard of Oz and experience the magic.
