Took the e-trike out for another spin last night, this time around Lake Nokomis while the sun set. Another beautiful evening for a ride 🥰

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

the most embarrassing part of being a “100 tabs open at once” guy is when you inadvertently close them and don’t even notice and there are absolutely no negative consequences

I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)

New users, do this! Even if you previously never thought about alt text, adding it will soon be second nature. Isn’t it awesome when being considerate & thoughtful & inclusive is second nature? Wouldn’t it be great if there were a toggle switch for that in life? Anyway. Alt text toggle! Use it!
