Use AltText. It's the kind thing to do and it makes BlueSky more accessible for everyone. And actually describe the image you're posting in the AltText. To get reminded every time you post, go to settings>Accessibility>Require AltText. :)

If you have zero alternative and someone else controls the only means of survival, "you're free to say no" doesn't mean much. UBI is the power to actually say no.

I've been to some great panels at @laworldcon.bsky.social so far, and had a good time at the dance last night! I'm looking forward to finally getting a chance today to hit the dealer floor and the art show. My first WorldCon has been amazing!

It is going to be easier for Democrats win by telling the racist white women to fuck off than by telling Black people, Hispanic people, and queer people to fuck off.

After a thunderstorm Saturday afternoon, my 81-year-old mother and I are now well past 36 hours without power, with *zero* useful or accurate information from BGE about what's happening or when we'll have power again.

If by home state, you mean where I was born and grew up, that's North Carolina, so I'd have to say it's the opposite. If you mean where I live now, that's Maryland, which is comfortably blue, so yeah, I think maybe so.

THE FUTURE IS BACK. Fifty years ago, STARLOG went behind the scenes of alternate worlds for the first time. Now it's back, exploring the visionary sci-fi and cutting-edge science that inspire what comes next. The future will be wild. You'll be ready for it because you read STARLOG.

We should never have let fame become a middle-class job, or even middle-class job adjacent. It’s the toxic run-off of actual accomplishment, and instead we made it the top of the food pyramid.

If you never alt text & post text stuff you can easily copy and paste, ask yourself why? If you never alt text visuals, maybe just try alt texting a little? If you alt text 1 out of 10 pictures, you're still doing *some* which is better than none. Do your best. That's all I can ask of any of you!

Begging people to stop screenshotting the Twitter bile of MAGA creeps - including 47 and his veep - and posting them here. I don't need or want to see their actual horrible words, thank you very much.

Random fanfic pet peeve: ghosting an unfinished story. People are going to post WIPs, and sometimes those WIPs aren't going to be finished. But I do think authors owe their current readers and future prospective readers the 5 minutes to go back and update the story to indicate it's abandoned.

So that horrible tweet of The Orange Asshole about Rob Reiner has been shoved into my timeline twice, by screenshotting. If I wanted to see what he was tweeting, I'd be following him. Please stop doing this.

Please stop shoving the Orange Asshole's face in my timeline for no reason. I really don't want to see it. No, not even to make fun of him or score some supposed point. Seeing his face is an instant "hide that post," no matter what.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

The issue with “voter ID” isn’t the ID. It’s which IDs are allowed and who gets blocked. Gun licenses count but student IDs don’t. Tribal IDs don’t. Millions of eligible voters, seniors, students, low-income workers, get shut out. If it were about security, every gov-issued ID would count.

How easy should VOTER I.D.
(IDENTIFICATION!) be to get from the Radical Left Democrats??? There should be nothing easier, right??? Well, out of 47 Dems, we don't have even ONE VOTE from them. That is for one reason, and one reason only - THEY WANT TO CHEAT!!! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SCOUNDRELS, CHEATERS, & PSYCHOPATHS.
TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK. APPROVE VOTER I.D. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

I was in Portland in July and had a lovely time. I even walked through what might be considered a sketchy neighborhood and never felt threatened. Even joked about finding an excuse to move there just so I could go to Powell's Books all the time!

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

We will never defeat Trumpism in this country so long as we accept the idea that some kinds of people are not as good as others. It's liberty and justice for all, all the way, for everyone, without a single asterisk.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

If you cannot wrestle with the bad things your country has done (and this goes for every country), you aren't a patriot, you aren't interested in history. You only want a fantasy.

I know it's unpopular to say but Trump's authoritarian consolidation is succeeding, mostly because of cowardly institutions. We're effectively past the point of no return and life will increasingly become dictated by Trump and the federal government. Democracy is lost for at least a generation.

They want to have their cake and eat it too - no trans women in "women's spaces" because they don't have the right "equipment" despite looking like women, but no trans men because they look like men despite having the right "equipment."
