ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

GOOSEFISH

This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again.

This is a GOOSEFISH.

This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark.

It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one.

Photo of a brick set in a stone wall with the words, kind hearts are the garden. Kind thoughts are the roots. Kind words are the blossoms. Kind deeds are the fruits.

I think this is pretty. I love seeing inspirational words on garden walls and on buildings.

Hang in there. I wish I knew what to say to encourage you right now.

when you censor the word "rape," people who have it muted for trigger purposes will still see it.
it does not affect the algorithm on bluesky one way or another. you're just circumventing people's protections.

don't do that.

Wonderful selection. 👏

Scrooged! I love that movie. 🥰

Classics! The Muppet movie is the perfect version of A Christmas Carol IMO.

Four Christmas movies to know me by…

Meme. Family member turns lights on. Me, colon. Photo of a red panda, squinting with the words, aggressive hissing.

This is me.

Happy birthday! I love embroidering. 💕

A mock cover for my NovelNovember project, These Curses We Bear. A dark forest background with ragged edges, a gothic script in blue reads: These Curses We Bear, with white subtitle at the bottom: If the cursed won't help the cursed, who will?, and my name: M. A. Holland at the top.

THESE CURSES WE BEAR

If the cursed won't help the cursed, who will?

A dark, fairy-tale inspired YA fantasy.

What did you learn? Will you have to be make changes to your approach?

Hal hadn’t survived three Thanksgivings by being stupid.

Where is this (if you don’t mind me asking)? Key west? Feral chickens sound hilarious.

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere." It's in white font on a blue sky background with puffy white clouds.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

I saw that too. It makes me question the motive for sharing it in the first place.

An American military cemetery in the Netherlands has removed a pair of display panels discussing the 174 Black soldiers buried at the site.

The Netherlands American Cemetery is the final resting place for 8,301 American soldiers who died fighting in WWII.

Meme. Photo of what looks like an eldritch cat being with eight tails. It seems to be a black cat and kittens in a time lapsed photo with seven eyes, some in strange places, and an extra nose or so. Caption, when you piss piss piss piss piss into the void, sometimes it piss piss piss piss piss’s back.

I’ve heard they do, but also… my home cat fails to answer to pspspsps.
Also, here’s a vaguely related meme, when I feel you mean a different kind of big cat entirely with a much more fun community.

Anyway, hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Thank you! 😊

Sure! That would be awesome. 😎

Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance

Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26

He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums

He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

Lol. 😂 That would be interesting. I wonder if it would be one of those cheery sounding songs with dark lyrics.

Promiscuous maybe? I guess it’s depends on the rest of the song.

Screenshot from Tumblr, including a medieval painting of a monk writing in a book and a winged demon looking on. From user 1: today I learned... that in the middle ages there was a popular belief in a demon of language, one who collected the words of people women gossiping in church, and the mumbled syllables of priests who weren't saying mass properly. He was also held responsible for scribal errors. Later he haunted printing presses, causing typesetters to make mistakes. Today I learned... there is a typo demon, it has a name, and it is Tutivillus (Titivillus). User 2: Can he leave me alone please User 1: l asked and he said ni. Hey Tedbaldus, you missed a letter: User 3: Now he has taken residence in Autocorrect, which is why it always turns your thoughts into word salad when you try to text.

It’s the typo demon.
