I am chaos at various times - but this is a very easy thing to do. And also fun if you’re putting a cute or funny picture. Add a bit of extra chat! Catchy poster type stuff - often AWFUL to read for people with visual impairment and should also have alt text anyway.
I see people saying
“I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!”
Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that.
- Go to Settings
- Then Accessibility
- Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting.
Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.

Recent history. I’m so UK and US focused that there is A LOT I’ve either missed or have let wash over. So appreciating the comments. Frantic googling about to happen.
Nepal, like, three months ago
Out of curiosity, when is the last time a government was literally torn apart by an angry mob

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Not in the US but think this a heartening message for all people resisting. And take care all you US folks doing this as best you can. What is happening for good or ill is not unnoticed. Major UK outlets reporting. Solidarity.
They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Ashamed to say I’m only just listening to Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein. It is GREAT. But also I’m glad the pandemic is a bit further behind us, as it made me a bit crazy in the healthcare world!

Sometimes you may have told a small lie about needing to be home on NYE because of cats and fireworks. But really you are just not having to endure NYE and then just potter around while the cats do not fret about the fireworks at all. It is approaching Battle of the Somme levels here.

In Oklahoma, women receive two pairs of white underwear. If they're lucky enough to have friends or family members, they can purchase five additional pairs. For periods, the state issues 15 pads and just 10 tampons per month (five regular and five super). Here's what periods are like in prison.

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word. They’ll have to go to aspca if it gets much colder (yes they built a temp shelter plz read the screenshot). #adoptdontshop #Westchester #PeekskillNY

@merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social do amazing stuff looking after all the animals. Do help if you can. Also - goats are amazing! Resilient and occasionally judgmental. Wise faces.
This is Fluffy. She came to us after her owners passed away and nobody took care of the goats they left behind. One by one all of the goats passed away until only Fluffy was left. Fortunately someone from the town finally noticed she was there and started bringing her food and water. 🧵

Like cats? Not sure about prisoners? This is for you. Amazing journalism.
"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

It’s hard to believe but the Auto Club family— mama Porsche & her now 7-month old kittens Ferrari, Mercedes, and Bentley— have had no applications. Not one for any of them.

Honestly - follow this account! It is worthy and kind and honest and may also encourage people to think a bit differently about people in prison.

There’s a kitten rescuer whose videos I love, but she’s clearly been rescuing kittens for so long that she’s run out of cute names
Every new video has the cutest kittens you ever seen, with a caption like, “Meet the Roofing Materials kittens: Tar Paper, Shingles, and Fiberglass!”
