Another older tip for newbies. Set your system to make you use alt text. Bluesky is the nice place, and we should be nice to users who use alt text.
Note: on Bluesky you can have your settings force you to add alt-text before posting, and I recommend doing so.
Alt text is great because:
A) it helps people who are vision impaired.
2) it helps people who aren't Extremely Online℠ (me!) get the reference.
Ω) you can hide funny stuff in there.

An excellent show, but sadly more relevant now than when it aired.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

This would be like having a stat holiday in the middle of the week. What's the point?
Outstanding. Was absolutely insane to have a scheduled off-day on the Friday for a team that plays under a dome!

This one is from 1996 and an all timer. I may be biased because this is when they were still in Madison.

My Starfleet wrapped indicates that, this past year, I was trapped in a malfunctioning holodeck 5 times; had to reverse the polarity 17 times; dealt with 4 evil admirals and 2 crazed captains; talked 3 killer robots into self-destructing; and never once used PPE on an away mission.

Do NOT underestimate the power of blue cheese! 💪
My wife laid down a fresh tray of blue cheese chips and the very next play was the Rogers strip sack for six.
Everything after that has fallen our way.
I will not be swayed by your counter-arguments on coincidence.
Go Bills!
