I'll be honest, these benefit abled folks as well. I find searching Bluesky super helpful since the alt-texts are included so it pulls appropriate media.
6 pics explaining "why use alt text? 1. SLOW INTERNET ALT TEXT IS SHOWN IN PLACE OF UNLOADED IMAGES 2. FINDABILITY ALT TEXT HELPS TO SEARCH CONTENT 3. SCREEN READERS ALT IS READ OUT TO PEOPLE USING TEXT-TO SPEECH SOFTWARE 4. TRANSLATION ALT TEXT CAN BE TRANSLATED 5. READABILITY TEXT IN IMAGES CAN BE MADE LEGIBLE a character says "hello guys" 6. DISAMBIGUATION DESCRIPTION HELPS CLARIFY INTENT Alt-text by @zolenkan.bsky.social

Artist! Quote with you most detailed art! 🎨

Definitely this one!
A very colorful drawing featuring my Destiny 2 Titan OC, Relay, standing in a pool of bluish radiolarian fluid with four dead Vex at his feet. He is mostly shrouded in a blueish shadow, and is holding the torn-out eye of a Vex in one hand. Behind him is a pink disc-shaped piece of vex architecture embedded in the way with a bright red light shining from the middle of it. It surrounded the upper part of Relay's body in a way not unlike a halo. In the background are various tubes and cables cascading over bright green geometric Vex architecture and into the pool of radiolaria. One of the Vex at Relay's feet is reaching out and grasping his leg as if attempting to stop him.

Thank you Canada, and for YT Supremacy incompetence. Both bring you the censored 60 Minutes package on Republican human rights abuse.

Hey everybody!

I currently have a couple of spots open for the 1 on 1 mentoring I do for artists.

It's cheaper and more effective than art school

It costs $115 per session, and you can sign up here: home.huckleberry.art/offers/ADNki...

Here's an example of one of my students:

Will note: this is probably the direct result of workshy Bari Weiss waiting until Friday before a Sunday air date to spike the story. International rebroadcasters probably get the recordings early to vet locally and run through local standards and practices. She forgot and no one told her :)

Oh yeah Global TV (in Canada or by VPN) has the full uncut 60 Minutes story on its 60 Minutes rebroadcast. CBS must have sent them the original tape.

Just a quick reminder that we’re making a whip-smart gay romcom about love, unusual crime, and hating weird billionaires and you should really preorder it

It's happening! Watermelon Exo Collected Edition is availiable! ➡️ ko-fi.com/s/b2076438ee
I realized it was quite hard for people who wanted to re-read the comic to do so online these days so I put it all in a HUGE pdf with some extras and a little bit of new stuff too!

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if that’s true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?

I will vote for any D who punches RFK Jr. in his stupid leathery face.

I would be ok with “Send us $5 and we’ll punch RFK Jr in the face” fundraising emails. DNC pay attention please.

Attention, #ttrpg creators!

Did you know that I have tiers that allow commercial access to my maps?

Check out the details and start using maps like the ones below in your titles!

Option B: It opens on Goofy and the slop blender in one panel, then cuts to Mickey's reply in the second panel.
We are looking down at Goofy as he cowers away from Mickey, whose shadow we can see at the bottom of the composition. Behind Goofy is a giant hole with a turbine inside, around the hole is the label "Slop Blender". Goofy, scared, says "N-now Mick, wait--it doesn't have to be like this!!" Micky holding a gun and wearing a trench coat in a tunnel with dramatic lighting, smiles while tears stream down his face. Mickey says in response to the previous panel, "Sorry, Goof, the boss thinks this might generate shareholder value, ha-hah! Now get in the slop blender."

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association AMENDED RULES for the Nebula Awards Dear Meghan, Earlier today, you received an email titled, “Note from the Board on This Year’s Nebula Rules.” To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models in the production of creative work. The Nebula Award Rules did not reflect our current policy and deeply held beliefs and values, and they were amended to reflect that. With further input, today, we made an important change to the Nebula Awards Rules in two board votes that we would like to share with you: Previous Text: "Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible." New Text: "Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible." -and- Previous Text: "Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot" New Text: "Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified." We will update our posted rules in the coming days to reflect this change.

For every direct sale of the World Wide Wrestling PDF, I add a free community copy to itch. So far we've added 487 since starting this last year.

I'd love to get that to 500 by years end! Regular sales add +1 community copy, tips and bundles add +2.

ndpdesign.itch.io/the-world-wi...
Screenshot of World Wide Wrestling Community Copy reward panel, showing a Total Quantity of 487 free PDF copies created, with 484 claimed. Description reads: For a long time, WWW2E was available for a discounted rate for folks who can use that. That model is now free community copies sustained by regular-price purchases. Every WWW2E purchase adds another community copy, and every purchase with a tip adds two. If there are none available, check back in a few days. To date, purchases have provided over 480 community copies - thanks everyone! If you've picked up a community copy, pay it forward by telling someone about the game, or leaving a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review!"
