Hi! I'm less familiar with artist communities, so I'm afraid I'm probably not much help there. Perhaps the Awesome Foundation? www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/...

When things are hard, I like to look for good things around me. I use #1BeautifulThing over on Insta and thought I could carry it to over here. Today has been a Hard Day, so here's a blast-from-the-past #1BeautifulThing that made me smile. Here's LOVE IS CALLING by Yayoi Kusama. #InfiniteKusama

Image of a mirror room full of inflated tentacle-like forms that are covered with black polka dots. The forms are coming up from the reflective ground and down from the mirrored ceiling, and are various colors, mostly pinkish/purple. A white woman with orange hair looks to the camera and smiles as a white man walks in the background behind her.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

Alt Text: What to Write

Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.

And so it begins ... Cambridge Dictionary has picked "manifest" as its 2024 word of the year. Apparently, the word is big on TikTok — where people like Dua Lipa and Simone Biles talk about manifesting success. #WOTY2024 www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wanted to like a post about moving forward, but it used "motherfucker" and I just couldn't. And I know it seems like such a small thing. But language is powerful. The words we use have impact. One small act of activism can be putting that gendered insult aside. "Muckerfucker" works just as well.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
