Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

One of my popular posters, Empty Bowls! It's not just about a fair day's kibble! If you like my work please follow me here for more and visit my print shop at nathannunart.etsy.com Thank you, Cats of Yore.
An early 20th-century cat propaganda poster. A grey cat in worker garb stands in the foreground pointing at a large, empty bowl. In the background is a factory city whose workers are pouring into the streets. The cat asks the viewer through the top text of the poster "The owners have taken our labour, our life. And in return?" It is answered in bold text in the middle of the poster with "Empty Bowls!"

The Omaha World Herald put together a series of historic photos from 9/11, one of which was from my high school, a few rooms down from where I was. Historic. Photos. 😭 The main subject of the photo went on to work for the Obama Admin, though, which is neat.

Preparation, sadly, gets shoved in with far-right bs or the american gentry tendency to see everything in all or nothing terms of their own property ("if I can't grow all my food on my 'homestead' what's the point?") I see it as an extension of what frontline communities have always done to survive

I've seen a few sources giving basic protection info for regular folks. But if you are immunocompromised or have existing medical conditions that will increase the danger of cyclosporiasis then the safety info you need is in Matthew's newsletter. They are a reliable source who cares.
