I know that it's normal for buyers to not know, but I'm surprised how many sellers on Etsy didn't know that πŸ₯² ALWAYS USE SHOPNAME.ETSY.COM!! it only works when the buyer clicks on a link though, not when they're typing it manually in a browser help.etsy.com/hc/en-gb/art...

This is a propaganda masterpiece. Tens of millions of people who know nothing about politics will see this & when TiKTok is back Trump will take full credit (& a huge kickback) & no one will care the ban was his idea in the first place. An idea an idiot cadre of elderly Dems went along with. 🀑 πŸ’©

Damn the VPN doesn't work either (I assume I have to remove my saved data to make that work but I'm not doing that)

We lost our house in the Eaton Fire. We're safe, but the level of devastation is impossible to convey. I won't be able to work for a while, so if you want to support us, I'd appreciate a Patreon subscription or buying one of my books. It will help.

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.

Unfortunately, the MAGA campaign itself isn't fantasy, it's really happening. What they are mongering, though, is, of course, fiction. Making it reality in any way justifies that campaign that people are looking for any excuse to believe.

That's sorta the difference here. Just smth to think about

Wtf do you mean now the real work begins? Its been plenty fuckin real for trans people. What, are we not Real enough for you? Or are our lives really so theoretical to you that our oppression isn't worth caring about for you?

Gonna reiterate for ppl that thinking transphobia is just an experiment or distraction will always be a dismissal of (at best) or potential justification for (at worst) violence

By yall's logic reversing gay marriage is just a path to the "real work" of restricting interracial marriage

I said it before and I'll say it again, transphobia is just homophobia in a trenchcoat that's really just misogyny in ANOTHER trenchcoat

It's about patriarchy, and it's about power. Never been about anything else.

Not to mention transphobes do not actually gaf what "direction" of trans you are, you'd still get jumped or murdered for appearing male in a women's room and especially for harrassing them

It's not suddenly okay to intimidate ppl in the women's room bc I have a vagina

We just wanna piss in peace

I get what ur trying to do here but making cis women feel unsafe by intentionally replicating misogynistic violence (that we as transmen have likely grown up experiencing) as buff men is not the route here, this would be bad for all trans ppl and we know it- *that's* why we haven't done that

a pixel art of a girl with pigtails sitting in a chair in a room . Alt: A GIF of the protagonist of Needy Streamer Overload (a black/red jirai-style outfit with black pigtails) getting up from her pastel gaming chair and leaving offscreen to cheat on me with a horse

My fiction writing: *discussing personal identity and the ways minorities are socially wronged*

My non-fiction thesis writing:
While playing through the game, I reached an ending where I was cuckolded by a horse. This is implied to be impulsive Tinder revenge for a perceived lack of care.

If you've lost power due to the wildfires around LA and are using a portable generator, remember to keep it outdoors and make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working.

An infographic titled β€œHow 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 β€œA 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.”

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.

Adding alt text to our media is very important to make this great community accessible for everyone. 🫢 Here’s the how and why to do it:

I say again - there are few things in American society that will radicalize you more, or faster, than being suddenly disabled in your 20s with a condition that no doctor wants to treat or touch or interact with, and leaves you in pain every second of every day.

It is a cooker beyond belief.

I relate to this. I can't engage in convos about simulation theory at all, even as a joke, because of previous experiences with dissociation.
