Gazans aren’t asking for privilege just the chance to live with dignity.
To study, to work, to heal, to dream again.
That’s not asking for too much. That’s asking to be human.

Poverty is not inevitable – it’s a political choice. Our leaders are failing these families. It’s time to raise support payments, introduce an official poverty measure, and take real action to end poverty in Australia.

If you ever need an idea on how to do alt text, RNIB (understandably) provide fantastic examples.

RNIB @rnib.bsky.social · 10d

What day is it?

Images of a scene from the film Mean Girls. The top image text reads 'On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was', then on the picture below it says 'It's October 3rd, the day you start using alt text!'

Both images show the character Aaron Samuels who's white with brown hair, a brown open shirt and blue t-shirt and is sitting at a school desk. Behind him is Lindsey Lohan's character Cady who is also writing notes in her book, has long fierce red hair and a grey open zip hoodie on. She's giddy and smiling as she confirms what day it is today.

“Little Miss Social Media Accessibility.” A character akin to the Little Miss and Mr series smiles proudly into the camera. She has blonde hair, a purple body with a thumbs up icon on her belly and holds a phone in one hand because she’s ready to capture content or reply to a comment.

A reminder.

Humanity has never removed an atmospheric pollutant at a global, continental or, even, regional scale — we have only ever shut down the source and let nature do the clearing up. This is the case for chlorofluorocarbons and stratospheric ozone destruction, for sulfur dioxide and acid rain, and for sulfur and nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog. We must be prepared for CDR to be a failure, leaving us to rely on the environment to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ over thousands of years. This is another argument for rapid decarbonization.

The war is over but its effects remain. The killing has stopped but the hunger and displacement have not.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.
