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

patricia lockwood really did come for cats' game in a very devastating way. I might have been more sympathetic to Mr. Beef's melodrama right now if I did not immediately just hear "oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!"

Instead of Harry Potter everyone should read The Power Broker. And instead of going "which house am I in" go "how many parks would Robert Moses make for me given my race, class, and general personality"

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

The only way I will have any interest in this is if they start the film with Finn waking up, having dreamt the entirety of Rise of Skywalker, and picking back up at the end of The Last Jedi. At breakfast, he laughs with Poe & Rey about the silly dream logic of the Emperor returning somehow.

i have zero problems with anyone not voting for her. I'm still undecided. I do think she's mostly vacant any deeply held principles, positive or negative, and will aim towards a mythical centrism she doesn't even believe in but thinks will poll well in an exurb.

I don't think Amy Klobuchar is queerphobic. I think she's an opportunistic triangulator who judged that she needs the gays but doesn't need the trans folk. I don't think I can force her to have a soul or spine but I think I can help force her to admit she miscalculated and course correct.

When I gave my keynote last week about community defense in Minnesota, someone from Ukraine came up to me afterward and said thank you for talking about what it’s like to be under attack and fight back, because most people can’t relate. I wish we couldn’t, but hey Ukrainian friends: we see you.

remember when Biden replied to some right-wing bait question about how many genders there are with, "at least three. don't play games with me, kid." and then got elected president? that was their last winning strategy. dems: "you're a dipshit. fuck off" was your last winning strategy.

I refuse to waste any time playing this dumb fucking game about real art that skilled human beings made. Illustration is art and incredibly difficult to do well, and devaluing the human element in it is part of what got us to this horrifying slop-filled dystopia in the first place

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

i don't believe talarico is a bigot. im pretty sure he isnt. but if he apparently "has to" answer bad faith questions in a way that appears to compromise on the rights of one group of people being repressed to get elected, it's fair to ask what else he will "have to" do once he's in office
