not looking to start a fight with any particular accounts but when reposting a post with alt text check if it's fake, filled in gibberish or few word empty garbage like "a tweet" to fool everyone into thinking they give a shit about people. I block em because it's even more enraging than no alt text
alt text I've seen lately:
.
(just a period so the alt label will show!)
photo
(yep the word photo)
article
(people if it's your screenshot copy/paste the text and if it isn't google free OCR you don't have to retype it or some bsky app versions let you select text from a pic)

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

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Tubi, please stop showing me that “sandwiches are better than chicken nuggets when your bread…ROCKS” ad that’s aimed at divorced dads with partial custody who can’t be bothered to cook for their kids.

I’m very confused by contestants on The Traitors being surprised to hear that Tara and Johnny are best friends. Are they in the library going, “A Tale of Two Cities…by Charles DICKENS?! What other secrets doth this duplicitous castle hide??”

Accurate captions generated by humans rather than machines should be SOP, not something I compliment streamers on, but I’m rewatching this week’s episode of THE PITT and feeling grateful for the accurate captions that allow me to look up medical jargon so I can learn new words like “dehiscence.”

Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

I just signed up for my first acting class. I spent the first half of my life being too terrified to try anything I loved; I’m gonna do my damnedest not to make the same mistake in the second half.

And perhaps most importantly,
5) Trek is about us, in the future. It has a legacy of people seeing themselves, in the future. Any concern about realism comes a distant, distant second to "I want someone to see themselves."
"I promise you, you'll still exist in the future. You're coming with us."

I’m awkward as fuck due to various neurodivergent and trauma-related issues and it’s infuriatingly difficult for me to connect with people, but the greatest sense of community I have ever felt is with fellow queer folks. 💜
I really fucking love queer people, y’all.

If you need a guest to talk about THE PITT on your podcast, I am your girl. (I’m not a medical professional, just a film critic who’s obsessed with the show.)

In all seriousness, I'd love to file copious lawsuits against these companies for an obvious abdication of responsibility to provide accurate subtitles for deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers.
They very clearly don't care about any respectable quality control, but that's just capitalism, baby!

Your daily reminder that subtitle viewers (particularly on streaming platforms) are treated like trash. I have experienced a demoralizing amount of obvious ai subtitles over the last year that clearly didn't get a single check for accuracy.

I went to a local shop for art supplies over lunch and I received nose and forehead kisses from their massive shop dog. It improved my day greatly, so I’m going to run for state office on a platform of transgender for everyone and a shop dog and/or cat in every store.
