Do you know I've got a poetry collection coming out next year? & you can preorder it? (Some links below, but you can preorder worldwide.)
Like tarot cards, witchy things, feminist rage (think Taylor's "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" & Fleetwood's "Silver Springs."), & mythology? You're in luck.

If English alt text is too hard write it in your native language.
If detailed alt text is too hard to do, keep it short and simple.
You can't include every detail about your work anyways but at least give people a chance instead of leaving it blank.

ALT Text benefits everyone
Alt text helps with accessibility, identifying/explaining elements you might not get to in your posts and makes your posts/work more discoverable - Make sure to toggle it on to “require alt text” in your settings

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

If the Prescott memo is true, and there is a secret cabal of LGBTQ+ journalists stopping any negative stories about trans people being published or aired at BBC News, then, I have to say, they’re doing a really fucking shit job of that.

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

There is ONE use for the term Content Creator and it's GenAI.
That isn't art, that is content for the sake of filling a space because they don't respect art.
Stop saying Content Creator if you value art and artists.

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild.
You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)!
“Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

It remains frustrating that so many British moderates are rotted by GCism to the point that they can clearly recognise a far-right agenda but neatly carve out an exception for the transphobia that's integral to that agenda—as if it's a stopped clock situation—without a moment's self-reflection
I came across a clip from yesterday from LBC of John Sopel and Emily Maitlis talking to Shelagh Fogarty about what's happening at the BBC and they all conceded the complainant DID have a point about the BBC's pro-trans bias and it was just three people being transphobic for a couple of minutes.

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.
