I'm seeing so many excellent memes and screencaps today missing their alt text!

Please include *everyone* in your joy! Go to Settings > Accessibility, and turning on "Require alt text before posting." This way a reminder will pop up if you try to post an inaccessible image
A screenshot of the accessibility options in the Bluesky iOS client in dark mode. There's an option titled "alt text" with a slider for the option to "require alt text before posting". This should be turned ON.

I am not doing a special sale in my shop this weekend because everything is already at cost, I’m not able to ship until next week, and I didn’t make some of the extra stuff I intended. But cat toys and goat totes are available! Bookmarks! A couple of original paintings!

Visit OctopusGallery's Shop!
Pay what you can crafts and art. Lots of upcycling and creative reuse but mostly cat toys.

We're not much of a pie family, so instead my mom made toll house bars decorated like pumpkin pie slices
a pan of toll house bars (chocolate chip cookie dough baked in a single pan, like brownies) cut into triangles, with orange icing to look like pumpkin pie filling, a row of brown piped icing to look like pie crust, and a dollop of white icing in the center of each instead of whipped cream

The Unsubscribening begins. It’s nice of companies to set aside a time of year for us all to consider whether we really want to stay on their email list.

Behold, the face of a border collie who discovered the turkey carcass was leaking into the kitchen floor... And, as he cleaned that up, onto his head.
An extremely charismatic, suspiciously greasy border collie smiles at the camera.

We are on to set potato pie and cranberry jelly (jelly credit goes to @neolithicsheep.bsky.social). Critical infrastructural support provided by Poppy the puppy, who got to eat her first sweet potato skin.
A black and tan puppy with dumb little baby ears stares intently, albeit slightly cross eyed, at a piece of sweet potato skin I am holding in the air above her nose. You can see a tiny sliver of lower teeth and gums.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

My sister says I'm spoiling my nieces, but since they only asked to go to coffee shops, comic stores, and bookstores the past two days, I think the spoiling is mutual

A 3x3 grid titled "What is a social media site?" It has "reach purist", "reach neutral", and "reach radical" as its columns, and it has "structure purist", "structure neutral", and "structure radical" as its rows. There are descriptors for each label. Reach purist says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by anyone". Reach neutral says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by a target audience." Reach radical says, "A social media site allows users to post messages." Structure purist says, "A social media site is a live service that lives on the Internet, providing feeds of posts to users." Structure neutral says, "A social media site is accessible via a computer." Structure radical says, "A social media site is anywhere people can send messages." The blocks are: Structure purist, reach purist: "Bluesky is a social media site." Structure purist, reach neutral: "Discord is a social media site." Structure purist, reach radical: "Nostr is a social media site." Structure neutral, reach purist: "Craigslist is a social media site." Structure neutral, reach neutral: "AIM was a social media site."

It's 1999. 2nd semester of a PhD in very theoretical chemistry program at an ivy. Was so depressed I emailed an acquaintance who graduated two years ahead of me, who was the most academically brilliant scientist I knew

She said she had felt the same way, but had kept going. She regretted it.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is great news. 📚

Absolutely the fuck not, but I made it through yet another week without a screaming crying hysterical breakdown, so give me my paycheck and shut the fuck up you ableist douchebag
The text of an actual email that was actually sent to every employee in my department: The Wellness Unit would like to pose an important question to all sworn and professional staff: If the State Government implemented an annual Physical Fitness Test, would you pass? • Could you complete 20 push-ups in one minute? • Could you complete 35 sit-ups in one minute? • Could you run one mile in 10 minutes? If the answer to any of these is no, we encourage you to consider what might be stopping you from joining the Wellness Unit's group workouts. Our sessions are designed to support you, improve readiness, and help everyone feel confident in their fitness abilities, no matter your starting point.

We all know by now the idea that whether or not you return the shopping cart to the corral says something about the type of person you are.

I'd like to offer an addendum:

Do you return a library eBook as soon as you're done reading it, so the next person gets to start?
