I am glad more artists are learning about using alt text wish everyone would etc however I hope the new wave of former twitter users don't get into a weird habit I've seen where people will put hashtags In The Alt Text

The wife of the 44 year-old man who died this week in Edmonton after waiting 8 hrs in the ER with chest pain was told by hospital security staff she was "being rude" Are you supposed to just be super calm & polite while your spouse dies a preventable death in the hospital?

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

who up thinking about the darkness that lurks in their fellow man’s heart

:::flashlight to chin around campfire::: pagliacci was his OWN doctor

After eight years of this fucking cat sitting on the dehumidifier and changing the settings with his butthole I finally velcroed an acrylic sheet over the controls and can at last live in peace.

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

Many people won’t visit or accommodate the disabled because it’s “too hard” or being around sickness “steals their joy”. It’s the same people who will tell us to “try harder” to be well. It’s too hard to accommodate us but we should be able to magically get better? Ableism.

There are even more trans people in the future. You will meet them & marvel at the beauty of gender alchemy in an age of liberation. We will arrive there together by loving each other & destroying fascism.

still my favorite christmas post

word on the street is illegible

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

For Whom the Guy Replies

Out of curiosity, are there any fellow artists who create art inspired by vintage print/book illustrations? Would love to follow more who share my niche.

The Emergence • 2022

Christmas is too much work. Tomorrow, Boxing Day, is the REAL best day of the year—a day for relaxing in a cozy place, reading and playing and building new things, eating leftovers…and not doing too much at all. Perfection.

Die Hard was actually appropriated from pagans

Imagine you’ve been waiting for years and it’s finally your turn to carve the roast beast and then they let the fucking psycho who’s been terrorizing your village do it instead.

Spouse sent me this and I'm DYING

And Frodo Baggins, who did NOT die,

FAFO Found A Fun Object!

air free of pathogens is a right just as clean food & water are—as those entrusted with our health are taking action to remove the trust in & safety of our essential resources, we must make daily choices keep each other safe: washing our food & hands, & masking up in, at least, indoor public spaces.

As the year winds to an end, I’d like to thank everyone for making this community on BlueSky a place where we can have a good conversation, meet friends, and share the journey.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

not every part of me is for everyone some pages of my book are open some are kept close for a select few souls some are buried deep in a murky bog down a path off a road that’s not on any maps

a disturbing victorian world where humans and muppets live side by side

time to crime

My grandma went HARD on the "oh you're not staying to eat?" guilt this year but I successfully parried with "we can't safely take our masks off but the important thing is that we get to spend time with everyone not that we're not staying for dinner."

Bluesky experience goes so crazy when you realize that ppl want to interact and support other artists and when there's no algorithm messing that up, your art WILL get noticed! People do CARE about your OCs 🩵

If you put a whole head of roasted garlic and grated gouda in the mashed potatoes you won't need to pack up leftover mashed potatoes, which is a lifehack as well as its own type of sadness

Happy holidays to everyone still masking, skipping the big indoor family meals, and otherwise keeping themselves and everyone else safe. As a fellow masker I want you know I see you and appreciate that you're still fighting the good fight. Holidays can be lonely, but you're not alone. 💖

Sending out so much love & hope for all you wonderful folks as we reach the end of the year 💜 2025 has been a lot, it can be hard to believe that things will get better But we're here, we made it through. I'm proud of each and every damn one of you Whatever the new year brings, you're not alone 🫂

Fallout 4 tip: if your frame rate doesn't plummet every time something attacks your settlement you don't have enough turrets

That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively. But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?

Every jaw in the room dropped. He had done the unthinkable. He had not only told them his beliefs, but he had done it with the equal degree of certainty that they had employed in telling him theirs. And there's this unspoken rule in America: Only Christians are allowed to do this.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Jesus is not everyone's savior in the United States.

The reactions the loudest "Christian" in bio people in the US have every time the Pope suggests caring for those without is... well, they make it really easy for people to leave the church.

Look we all love presents but bragging about getting a big fancy designer purse is just tacky.

Look I'm fucking adorable but if you talk to me in a dumbed down baby voice I'm going to block you so fast you'll feel it like a flick between the eyes

look at this crazy jello my mom makes

Once we pick up dinner this party is going to be OFF THE HOOK! - Chinese food feast - pjs - eating treats - boardgames - hangouts on the couch with Spouse (who ACTUALLY has some time off this next week!)

“My child is fine” your child just got myrrh from a stranger

Bleu is not allowed to go on the couch. I didn’t see anything though and will have nothing to report when his parents get back home 🤷🏽‍♂️

rifling thru cabinets looking for spices im thyme traveling , is what im saying . folks,,,

My family is pretty utilitarian when it comes to gifts so we got homemade baked goods (Grandma), chocolates (stockings, also Grandma) and cash (Grandparents and parents). Spouse's widowed mom don't do holidays, including Christmas.

Me, every time I see my extended family (no masking, no precautions, at LEAST 2 of whom were sick and still came today)
