On the other site I was asked me for recs on the history of the US deporting citizens in the Great Depression. Thought it would be useful to share on here too.
The book “Decade Of Betrayal: Mexican Repatriation In The 1930s” is a great source. 🗃️

Smarter people than me are talking today, so I'll let 'em at it, but I will say this.

If your brain's trying to kill you and your chest is caving in, go do something tangible, something with effects you can see and touch.

Put a few stitches on the sweater, water the plants, tidy that one corner.

Update: This was definitely an impactful read. It's going to take a while for me to fully process it.

I have so many tabs to revisit and so many pieces of notes/further reading to look into...

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 haven't gotten very far, but the opening chapter was great.

That's exciting! I've watched a few online interviews he's been in and he seems like a cool author to meet.

It's fun! Thanks. :)

That title caught me off-guard. 😂
