i've started just saying "twenty gallons of water" immediately and flatly whenever someone tries to tell me how they used ChatGPT on some work project and boy it's pretty effective to dissuade people from using ChatGPT

223,447 is tickling my brain in the good way. Like the time my authenticator code for FFXIV was 6 numbers that made me think of the War of the Worlds strings. It might have been 223448 or 9 though.

This is how *I* feel. How about you?

A post from Alt Text Hall of Fame: A question for the blind and visually impaired folks. What is it like to browse social media without properly described images? The hashtags a the bottom are AltText, Image descriptions, social media, accessibility, and a11y
My answer to the question: For me, it's lime all your friends chatting with you about going to some huge party, nut no one realizes that you weren't invited. And then when you ask about it, they tell you it's too difficult to get another invite,, tell you loosers can't come, or straight up ignore you. Some of your friends hate that situation and decide to stay home with you and have a private party, and you love that idea, but you still feel bad about them having to do extra work for you.

It's almost hilarious how textbook most abusers are, down to the "can we not talk about this like adults?ā€ Yes, Iain, I mean you (and your mother) www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/HQ...

2hrs sleep last night. Maybe 3 tonight, then I lay in bed thinking about sour cream and chive pretzels, and a cold glass of angry water. If I'm going to sleep so poorly until I finally reach menopause, I might as well snack at 2.20am.

hey y'all! āœØ if you're struggling to remember to put alt text on your image posts, BlueSky has a setting for that! šŸ©· it won't let you post until you've added alt text to all images, and is a helpful reminder to make your work as accessible as possible šŸ©·

screenshot of BlueSky's Accessibility Settings page with the Require Alt Text Before Posting setting circled in red. it is set to 'on'

To clarify, alt text was important on Twitter and we talked about it and made progress but a lot of people didn't want to hear it. And the same people still don't want to hear it on Bluesky but they weren't able to shut it down when we made it a big deal early here.

Until recently, I thought David Tennant misspoke that time. Now, I'm coming to believe that he didn't, and he's right.
