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

Happy National Coming Out Day from this old nonbinary genderqueer bisexual disabled artist/writer/activist/musician. May your day be full of things better than you could have imagined years back. Or weeks back if it was this year. Today is a great day to do something good and support communities!

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

Imagine the absolute brain rot you must be experiencing to know that you are a guest of honour at a convention which celebrates SFFH authors and fiction, and keeping it under your hat until only a day or two beforehand that you've gone all-in on making AI "movies". And to think that will go down ok

LEGO always does these monthly design contests where they give a prompt like "family" or "fun outdoors" or "fairy adventure" or whatever. And people make great shit. They've gotten far more IP-centric with time. This month? "What if MARVEL and Star Wars were connected?" I hate capitalism so much.

Mallee Family Centre have a depressing interactive make choices on what you'll pay for when your incomings barely pay the rent. If you don't already have to do this every day, give it a go this #AntiPovertyWeek malleefamilycare.github.io/The-Cost-of-...

INTERACTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The Cost of Poverty: Impossible Choices
By doing this interactive learning experience you will learn about the realities and experiences of people living in poverty. The aim is to raise awareness and compassion while reducing stigma and judgment. As you move through the scenarios, try to approach each person’s decisions with curiosity and empathy rather than judging what they “should” do. Their choices are shaped by the resources, pressures and options available to them, and sometimes every available option carries a cost.

Exploring poverty in the Mallee and across Australia

Every day, people make decisions about food, housing, healthcare, transport and bills.

For many people experiencing poverty, these decisions are not about wants or luxuries. They are about choosing which essential need must come first.

In this experience, you will step into the lives of three people living in the Mallee region. You will make decisions based on their circumstances, resources and challenges.

There are no perfect choices.
Every decision has a consequence, and a choice that solves one problem may create another.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

On this day in 2012, Gillard made sure that single mothers with kids over 8 were forced onto Newstart rather than the single parent payment, setting the living standards on those kids and the safety of their mother back. Years later Labor raised the age back to 14, not the original 16.
