Consider your site content that is routinely updated, like weather maps, Covid charts, or stock graphs. Screen reader users encounter maps and charts where the image has been updated but the alt text hasn't. This can lead to confusion. Always update alt text when updating images.

There is a desperate need for an effort in Afghanistan to help adult women living on their own or with only other women, with no male family members for support. They need help with food & with access to medical care & with support to stay in their homes. Any NGO addressing this? I can't find such.

Someone dumped a kitten on my neighbor's porch. So sweet & loving: had clearly been human handled all of her little short life. Took me less than three hours of online marketing to find someone to adopt her. &, yet, I cannot find a job in communications, marketing or PR anymore...
A kitten stands on a stair railing, looking curious and pensive. A woman holds up a tiny cat to her lips, so she can kiss it on the cheek. The cat looks unamused.

&, indeed, potlucks can present a health hazard, like a mass botulism outbreak after a church potluck in Ohio in 2015. One person died from eating a potato salad made from home-canned potatoes.

A potluck for a specific group of people is fine. If fans of a particular breed of dog want to gather at a park & share food, they may. But if it’s open to all comers, that’s when it becomes a single-event temporary restaurant that may not serve home-cooked yummies.

Potluck events open to the public are illegal in Oregon. It's a Class C misdemeanor. A state law that says foods prepared in private homes may not be served to the public. Many county health departments interpret this to mean that public potlucks are prohibited. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...
