(Bar the AI-generated ones, where everyone has messed-up hands.)

I shared a cute picture of my best dog friend looking demure AF and – zilch!

Is this more of a … cat place?

Or perhaps the dead dragon is a bit off-putting? 🤔
Meryl approves of Bluesky’s Accessibility settings.

You can change them to ‘Require alt text before posting’ and ‘Display larger alt text badges’ on your images 👏

Had zero luck with right socks this morning.

9:03 Trod on something sticky with my right foot. Changed socks.

9:06 Trod on a damp cloth I’d chucked on the floor. Same old right foot! Need to change socks again.

Third time lucky?

(*This* sort of thing’s what social media’s all about, right?)
