I have to confess, I'm not a person, but 4 different otters
A slightly wet otter showing its bottom teeth to the camera. He is very cute A very fluffy otter standing in some grass A baby otter being held up by a blue gloved hand. His face is centered in the photo and he looks very annoyed that his photo is being taken. A blurry photo of an otter in grass.

Medicaid helped me diagnose my daughter’s severe congenital heart condition early, giving us time to plan and a better chance at surviving her birth. Gutting Medicaid and Medicare helps no one but those who are rich enough to sit back on their gold thrones and watch as the rest of us suffer.

More people are realizing folks won't share without alt text so they're putting pretty useless stuff in alt text for shares. Please click and check

Kendrick would’ve had more of Drake’s exes in the show but it was a school night

"The halftime show was boring."

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...
ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I am BEGGING people to put alt text on AT LEAST the important things like help graphics for immigrants & news story screen-caps. Please. Stop leaving Blind/low-vision people out in the cold. I try not to repost anything without, but sometimes the info is important & unique.

Stating President Petro "caved" is incorrect. He did refuse US Military flights to land. He stated his concern was the humane and respectful treatment of returning citizens. He sent Colombian aircraft to get them and refused to handcuff them on the flight. He didn't apologize for insulting Trump.

An added unintended purpose of alt text that I have really enjoyed is how much it forces me to practice my descriptive writing skills. It’s like a fun little creative writing practice that also helps keeps things accessible.

Anyways here is some shitty iPhone photos I took folks keep complimenting me on

#photography #landscapephotography
A landscape photograph of an observatory on a lakeside. Waves crash on the rocks of the shore as the sun sets over the water on the left side of the photo. The observatory is against a backdrop of evergreen trees and sits on the right side of the photograph. The sky is blanketed with a thin layer of clouds as the orange sunset and deep blue sky peaks through the layer’s cracks. A photo of an incoming storm at sunset. The photographer is sitting in the passenger seat of a car and approaching a lit red light in a left turn only lane at a T intersection. A brightly lit store illuminates the dark left center of the photograph and a deep orange sunset peaks through the black clouds on the right. A slightly blurry windshield wiper blocks a small portion of the right hand side of the photo. Utility poles and power lines are loosely scattered throughout the photo. A thin layer of rain already coats the road as the red light reflects off of its dark surface. A dark photograph of grey storm clouds over a dark green field. A large windmill stands in the left center of the photograph while other windmills sit further away, barely able to be seen. A light pink sky peaks through the back of the photo in the center while a wall of fluffy clouds hang low towards the front. A photograph of scattered clouds at a light orange sunset and pale blue sky. A streak of light peaks over a large dark cloud on the right of the photograph, illuminating a light fluffy clouds above it. A dark line of corn lines the foreground.
