A screenshot of the accessibility tab in my Bluesky settings, showing the alt text toggled on "require alt text before posting" Btw alt text is also a fun place to shamelessly editorialize on your post and there ain't no character limit. Go ahead and share the Canterbury Tales here plus throw in a random Fuck or Shitass. It's a delightful pastime
Friends, please use Alt Text whenever you post images. It helps those with sight issues understand your sparkling captions & assists those of us who are hopelessly unhip in getting your references. Just toggle it in the settings for a reminder every time you share a bot mot, THANKYOUSOMUCH
I’m for the spin-in-a-circle idea. I’m not kidding.
Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky
1. The House Republicans narrowly defeated a bipartisan war-powers resolution Thursday night. The Senate voted on its own version Wednesday night. It failed, too.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Yeah, leave the scamming to the professionals—the healthcare companies!
With war against Iran, Trump compounds maga’s crisis of faith. To supporters, it looks like he took orders from the leader of the Jewish state. A THREAD.
Some people should maybe stay out of politics.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
It's Purim! Our hearts are heavy, but we're seeking joy and laughter. Need a minute to laugh at the absurdity of it all? truah.org/purim2026
Thanks for posting these. These organizations sure don't represent me. So angering.

Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged.
“The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”
1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people.
This time, it comes from Jesse Singal.
I fact check it in my latest piece.

Disability groups met with his staff last week and it’s clear the message got through. More to do on this front, but they definitely heard us.
OPINION: "The disruption to [UM's] reputation was not caused by a private citizen’s Instagram share; it was catalyzed by an administration that chose to publicly target its own employee rather than uphold the constitutional principles it is mandated to defend," Mary Warner writes.

"So much of what’s happened at CBS – the back-of-the-hand treatment of Colbert and the rightward drift of the news division – are ways of signalling that the Ellisons are more than willing to serve Trump’s interests." —Margaret Sullivan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Anderson Cooper saw that.
When I was in Little League decades ago, I remember being astounded that the coaches yelled at us because we hadn't won. It was bizarre then and is bizarre now.
"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

Or, like so many other people, especially elected officials I’ve known:
1) couldn’t pivot because it wasn’t in their nature
2) thought they knew best; after all, they were who’d been elected, and/or
3) got bad advice.
Go birds
