How to set your account so that images require alt text before posting, by someone who can explain this better than I can bsky.app/profile/phil...
It really helps to add alt text on here.
Set it as “required” & you’ll get into the habit of doing it automatically whenever you make a picture post.
Go to the main Bluesky menu from the Homepage
>Click Settings
>Click Accessibility
>Toggle the “require alt text” setting to “on”
Love it especially the owl except I'd like to know what is illuminating up the crescent moon because it's defo not the sun we can see 🦉
Love Stede's tiny parasol. Always makes me think of the tiny lil umbrellas Wile E Coyote would raise from nowhere in what he knew was a futile attempt to shield himself from an imminent heavy rockfall.
I think it's definitely worth a try. Wear it well!
I always liked the Guardian's San Seriffe, especially as readers added to the legend themselves (tennis lessons from Jim Courier) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Ser...

In mediaeval times, maps were made by laying a very big piece of paper over the town, and rubbing the surface with a crayon.
That's why Katya has such a reputation for great creative choreography #Strictly
Anton is dressed as Griff Rhys Jones with flowers in his hair I just realised #Strictly
Can you still do Halloween stuff after Halloween? This should have been last week instead of the lukewarm Icons week. #Strictly is getting a bit like the Google search page, it feels more noticeable when there isn't a special theme.

Outstanding thread that completely debunks this hysterical, inflammatory and deeply misleading Daily Mail headline.
FFS Daily Mail

No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants”

Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄

I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter

Now the DM are on it, let’s go again!

This post reminded me that this morning I thought about watching the Halloween episode of Bottom and this evening I completely forgot.
Look at Izzy's lil furrowed brow there, concentrating so hard 🥰🏴‍☠️🎃
Bought to you by real-life scary tales for Halloween👻 😱🎃

Yes the NHS does this too, a tiny bottle with a wand on the stopper. Step 1 is read the instructions carefully. They sternly ask that you do not send a bigger sample than is necessary.
These are so lovely ❤️🏴‍☠️
There's more awareness now re overdosing. Back then a small box of paracetamol contained 24 tablets, we also sold bottles of 50 or 100.
Not a fan of those types of remedies. Always struck me as risky, when I worked in Boots mid-90s lots of customers didn't realise they had paracetamol in them so you shouldn't take a dose of paracetamol tablets in addition. One or the other, not both.
On a second look I'd say Ned is maybe 80% Elton John and 20% Radar O'Reilly 😎
Ned has very 80s-Elton-John vibes going on 💜💜
The odd thing though is I really appreciate the skill of a well-designed white wedding dress. For my textiles & fashion module at school I wanted to design one but was vetoed as their stores are for bespoke fittings etc not off-the-peg. So I designed swimsuits & visited C&A instead.
