Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

the trick with getting people to play non-D&D games is just to do it and not act like its a big deal at all.

Hey, whether you did hundreds of artworks this year or one artwork this year, you are an artist, and you're doing your best. Be proud of whatever you created this year. Life ebbs and flows.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Just seen a post about the fact that Santa's (St Nicholas?) bones have been leaking a fluid that priests harvest and use to bless parishioners and the only thing I thought was maaaan that would make a sick Mörk Borg adventure 😂💀

A friend way more clever than me told me a while back that with making roleplaying games, we're toymakers, not philosopher-kings. It was an off-the-cuff comment at the time but one that I think about a hell of a lot.

Idk I don't rly like the sentiment that "as a creator you should be super passionate about everything you make or you're not a real creator"
Being able to work on stuff you aren't personally super enthralled by is a skill in and of itself

The answer, in terms of 'what the Average Joe do to combat the attempts to oust trans people from society' is to just start new clubs that are renamed the inclusive womens institute, and let their crusty old clubs die with their members.
