I'm sure most people on Bluesky are smart enough to know that SCUBA is an acronym, standing for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
What is less well known is that TUBA is also an acronym, standing for Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

when i see moots start using alt text when previously i hadn’t seen it from them?
i often go repost the promo media they’ve put alt text on in bulk, then start actively keeping an eye out for their stuff, because im just *that* excited that someone new has joined the side of accessibility 🖤.

I love when I see moots that usually never use alt text start doing it more and more.
Being able to add people to the feed I interact most with (one made for alt text posters) makes me so happy.
It’s like putting y’all into my Top 8.

I wasn't going to write four books. It was supposed to be a trilogy.
Each of my main characters has a concept tied to them, and Dani is going to be SO hard to write for, but now there will be:
Death Becomes Him
Waging War
Eat The Rich
Going Viral

I’m not usually a Christmas romance person, but I love this little novella by Mimi Matthews, one of my favorite authors. It’s a perfect bite of cozy romance to round out the year. #Booksky 💙📚

I tried a new chicken roasting method today, where you pin butter to the meat with toothpicks.
It tastes great, looks like Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies.

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
