"Why did you come to this time? To warn us?"
The time traveler laughed. "Why would anyone listen to me?"
"You're from our future-"
"No, I'm from a different timeline, a different future. I'm a refugee."

ADA investigations & cases currently paused as per new administration.
Federal employees hired under accessibility programs are to be put on paid leave & then laid off.
The CDC, NIH and FDA are barred from communicating information to the public.

Let's talk numbers: To date, since Oct 25th, we have found 395,000 Bluesky posts that link to a research paper or other research object that has a scholarly identifier like a DOI, PubMed ID, URN etc
This is enormously high for a platform that has only been open since Feb to general sign-ups.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.
However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!
