I'm invoking a power from the universe within me, the stardust, to speak as truthfully and bluntly as possible because we simply do not have time for anything else; to seize opportunities to do thankless work that matters to someone in need; to sacrifice convenience sometimes but not humanity.

A brief thread on alt-text.
Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7
