Alt text was on maybe 75% of Bsky images when I first joined. Accessibility is still the right thing to do.

You can hit the gear on the left of yr screen, click accessibility, and get Bsky to remind u to use alt text. It's pretty easy ❤️

Morning/bore da! I'm having a timeline cleanse by muting or blocking accounts which don't use alt text on images. If you don't already use alt text, it only takes a couple of clicks to set a prompt and enables greater reach of your posts.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed.

The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.

January is crap. It's cold, everyone's ill. For the self-employed that's compounded by a tax bill being due.

Me? I'm also anxiously waiting about a book proposal. It's making me fed up.

But I just got my PLR statement. It's not much. But it's more than I've ever got before. God bless libraries.

Just fyi. On Friday, Lord Falconer, who's shepherding the assisted dying bill through the Lords, admitted that he thought it was fine if someone chose to die because they didn't have enough money for care

If you're left wing and support the principle, I really need you to look at the bill's details

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

A big THANK YOU to our employee Lacy as well as Kaleb Lutterman, and the local 3D printing makers who've been keeping us supplied with anti-ICE whistles.

And thank you to everyone who's stopped by to pick one up! You're making a huge difference in this very difficult time.
