If you're in #Albuquerque and you have committed to using alt text AND only boosting posts which have it please let me know. Thanks!

TW: Eating Disorder Oof I did not expect to get triggered by that. I guess I just wasn't expecting it to hit my TL. But yeah I'm going to go force myself to eat and beg myself to take some insulin. 🫡

CW: Weight, exercise, ED My back hurts when I ride my stationary bike. I'm going slow but this is not burning calories and my eating disorder is screaming that I have another option. An option that would kill me, so I'm like NO WAY but it's loud. 🥺

I believe - no i’m just gonna say i know - that most neurodivergents have a fundamental drive to *create* It manifests in different ways and to different degrees, but when shut off completely? We decompensate. That need can be met in SO many ways, and crafting is a great one! Useful and satisfying

👇 Let's get some traction on these!

Happy #FundFriday - here is our #MutualAid thread for the week of February 6 All mutual aid requests are welcome, and i’d ask readers to pay extra attention to BIPOC requests 🖤

we'd be handling everything better with edibles and shrooms

for everyone who doesn't know i am in a choir, and I will be attending Unison Festival in Vancouver with them. it takes place over May long weekend, and my choir is up Saturday afternoon, and I'll be singing in another ensemble on Sunday here's info so you can plan to come!

Rory, rolling around on my lap purring wildly. He is very happy that I returned home after my forever 30 min trip. (It's still going on. Lol)

New! A how to guide on writing alt text for journalists. You know you want it. And you know you need it. #AltText #News #Reporters #Journalists the-word.news/2026/0205/al...

This is my backup juice for low blood sugar. Damn.

I've been on the phone with my mom for 2 hours trying to figure out the living situation. She says she doesn't qualify for rent help, but she can't afford safe options. And we are trying desperately not to have to get a 3 bedroom. And this all falls on me. 😢

Story time! We've had our cats for 2 years, they were 5 months old when we got them. They both have their favorite toys, but Rory will carry his around howling into it. He sounds like he is in pain!

Loot that drops after defeating me: - insulin pump - cheap ear buds, which may or may not have been cleaned yet. - multiple warm gummy vitamins that were forgotten - glasses chain - several rocks

I love my home. 🥹

I just got to put another $25 towards my baby dragon making machine. I will allow my husband to make D&D minis sometimes too. But it's MY baby dragon making machine.

I'm reading The Stolen Throne by David Gaider because @naraoia.bsky.social is playing DA:O for the first time and I'm sorry, but is this book supposed to make me like men? Any of them? I definitely don't like Loghain any more than I did in the game. They ALL suck. (Please no spoilers!)

what is the deal with so many journalists on here refusing to use alt text. get it together, y'all. honestly. it's not that hard. just scan the damn text with your phone, copy it, and paste it. do people not know how to do that???

Think about how annoyed you get when your connection is bad and photos aren't loading so you don't know what people are talking about. That's what Blind people regularly have to deal with when you fail to copy and paste text from your articles into alt text, fellow journalists.

I always feel so special when the non-lap cat gets in my lap. My husband is her human, but she doesn't get IN his lap, she will only lie between his legs. 🤭 #CatsOfBlueSky

@danielaegan.bsky.social 😆

In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes. Tor was kind enough to put book one on sale for $5.99! www.kitrocha.com/book/deal-wi...

🫦 Mmm yup.

I am vision impaired, but I have other health issues that compete, so I am interested in this. Thank you Can I Play That? for addressing both the drawbacks, and the benefits! If this is made, I would love to try it!

Me: I have so many markers and paint pens. I don't even have a way to store- ooooh look at those. They have such a fine tip. Tooli-Art is definitely going to bankrupt me.

One day these hormone bastsrds will succumb to my greatness. Until then... I'm thinking of investing in leaf bags and duct tape. 🤔

That skeet was a humdinger! That was a did-you-see-that-skeet level skeet. I’m — you know what? I’m gonna screenshot that one. I am. I am! I’m screenshotting it. That one’s going right in the file. The little Good Skeets file on my desktop. It’s going right in there! Saving that one for later!

I also get all weak in the knees when the alt text describes what the fuck that person looks like. I'm starting to think Frank Herbert used real ppl as a template for Baron Harkonnen.

Now to stealthily start leaving them places. I am not a sneaky person. My AFO squeaks when I walk and I arrive with a walker. But I'm determined to be anonymous.

I #painted some #rocks today. I looked up some how-tos and then made the pictures really REALLY big and then I attempted to recreate. I am NOT good at this but I only have one usable eye. Plus, if I saw them in the wild they would make me smile so I'm going to keep doing this.

Me to my therapist: There are not enough hours in the day for me to paint or do crafts! It must be my motivation! Also me: *Spends all day online doomscrolling*

White ppl need to absorb this. If we shut down any time someone has feedback for us on how we’re being racist? We can’t know how to do better, because this society is constantly telling us that *we* don’t need to worry about it. We are exactly the ones who do.

My therapist wants to work on some DBT with me and sent me a worksheet so we can discuss it at my next appt. In all my #ADHD chaos I have decided that this will be an excellent art project so I am going to make a bullet journal of sorts.

Just signed up for this Beyond Borders: Afro-Indigenous Histories & Identity event, so here is the registration link, if you could also benefit from this chat to work in solidarity with both Black & Indigenous communities for community resilience beyond imposed borders!🔥 nasp.uic.edu/events/beyon...

It's morning. Hug a menopausal person. They are probably fantasizing about your death, so give them treats, too. Not me. I'm absolutely plotting but do not touch me today, my skin and clothes hurt.

There are two stoned wolves inside me. One took one normal toke, and one held one waaaay too long and is now greening out. 😳

the lack of alt text on many of the Chappell Roan images tonight is truly disgusting. and you call yourselves allies? forgot how many on here loathe accessibility when it requires them to think of anyone besides themselves.

I have D&D today, and I am playing a new character. Lemon, the drunken master fairy who gets sloshed on milk and honey and beats the crap out of enemies. 🍋 We will see if an Omega shows up. 😆 IYKYK

would you hand out flyers that say “cool event flyer” or would you hand out flyers that have the description and details of the event you’re promoting? it’s the same with alt text—provide the info you actually want people who cannot visually see the image to know.

the second the regime starts to feel this is a real possibility, they are going to hit is with everything they've got. they will make minnesota look like spring training. talk to your neighbors. start coordinating. don't waste what minnesota has sacrificed so much to teach us. game the fuck up.

😴 gnbsky

Writing pithy and clever things in the ALT text box but not actually describing the image is fucking infuriating. You weren’t that pithy and clever in the post, we don’t more mediocrity, we need a description of the image.

Oh, it's Friday. Ok well I might pop in, but probably not. If you know me and you want to reach me you know how. It's a BUSY weekend and not all of it is happy but you know me. I will take a lot of bullshit, until my limit is reached. 🔪

It okay that people bond and even grieve over celebrities. It’s not about them, it’s about us, and how they made us feel. Maybe you never needed a particular song, or film, or art of any kind to make it through a day. Many people do, though. Especially neurodivergent people. Let. Us. Regulate.

Saaaaame. Ear feel and sound sensitivity. What I wouldn't give for some comfy over the ear headphones. If I found a pair I would take out my gauges.

Listen, I know Casualfarmer wrote Beware of Chicken but @travisbaldree.bsky.social is my comfort narrator. Thank you to BOTH because I am in need of comfort and a safe space. (I'm not done with chapter 1 and I am already feeling better. 🫶)

THAT IS NOT THE PERSON WE WANT DEAD! Fuck all the way off 2026.
