Who else refers to hair elastics as "ponytail holders?" As a kid in the 70s, my mom would use the kind with the round beads at the ends, and that's what she called those, and to this day I still use the term, even for the plain "rubber band" type.

I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON
A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch

Beautiful screaming lady is a CALLING not a job

 socialehman replies - Excellent. I am as essential as can be!

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

Very interesting! Alex explains in the thread, but the tl;dr is that many Japanese users are fleeing Twitter for bluesky because of the reported addition of the "edit" button that lets anyone modify any image you post with AI. So artists are understandably very upset.

I'll be honest, these benefit abled folks as well. I find searching Bluesky super helpful since the alt-texts are included so it pulls appropriate media.
6 pics explaining "why use alt text?
1. SLOW INTERNET
ALT TEXT IS SHOWN IN PLACE OF UNLOADED IMAGES

2. FINDABILITY
ALT TEXT HELPS TO SEARCH CONTENT

3. SCREEN READERS
ALT IS READ OUT TO PEOPLE USING TEXT-TO
SPEECH SOFTWARE

4. TRANSLATION
ALT TEXT CAN BE TRANSLATED

5. READABILITY
TEXT IN IMAGES CAN BE MADE LEGIBLE
a character says "hello guys"

6. DISAMBIGUATION
DESCRIPTION HELPS CLARIFY INTENT

Happy Solstice ❄️
A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.
