I have to confess, I'm not a person, but 4 different otters
A slightly wet otter showing its bottom teeth to the camera. He is very cute A very fluffy otter standing in some grass A baby otter being held up by a blue gloved hand. His face is centered in the photo and he looks very annoyed that his photo is being taken. A blurry photo of an otter in grass.

The flowchart begins with a 'Start' oval leading to a diamond decision box asking, 'Does the TITLE or ABSTRACT contain keywords and context that implicate the EOs?' If 'Yes,' it leads to a box stating, 'Retain flag, DEIA and other EO language found (Category 3)' and then to an 'End' oval. If 'No,' it continues to another diamond decision box asking, 'Does the PROJECT SUMMARY contain keywords and context that implicate the EOs?' If 'Yes,' it leads to the same 'Retain flag, DEIA and other EO language found (Category 3)' box and then to the 'End' oval. If 'No,' it continues to a third diamond decision box asking, 'Does the PROJECT DESCRIPTION contain keywords and context that implicate the EOs?' If 'Yes,' it leads to the same 'Retain flag, DEIA and other EO language found (Category 3)' box and then to the 'End' oval. If 'No,' it leads to a box stating, 'No DEIA or other EO language found. Add comment to explain why 'no' was chosen (Category 1)' and then to the 'End' oval.”

It is in the accessibility settings! It’s a little toggle switch that you can enable!
A cropped screenshot of the Bluesky accessibility settings the setting to require alt text before posting is enabled as shown by a toggle slid to the right that is highlighted blue while the other options such as “display larger alt text badges” under the alt text category and “disable haptic feedback” under the “haptics” category are disabled. There is a back button at the top left corner. The background is a dark grey and most of the text is blue with the only exception being a link for content and media settings located at the bottom. The text on the screen reads in order: Accessibility (located at the center top in bold lettering) Alt text (with a symbol of a circled stick figure to the left of it) Require alt text before posting (toggled on) Display larger alt text badges (toggled off) Haptics (with a vibrating phone symbol to the left) Disable haptic feedback back (toggled off) Autoplay options have been moved to the Content and Media settings. (In smaller text inside of a box. A small eye symbol sits to the left of the beginning of the text and “Content and Media settings” is written in blue text to indicate that it is a hyperlink.)

Anyways here is some shitty iPhone photos I took folks keep complimenting me on

#photography #landscapephotography
A landscape photograph of an observatory on a lakeside. Waves crash on the rocks of the shore as the sun sets over the water on the left side of the photo. The observatory is against a backdrop of evergreen trees and sits on the right side of the photograph. The sky is blanketed with a thin layer of clouds as the orange sunset and deep blue sky peaks through the layer’s cracks. A photo of an incoming storm at sunset. The photographer is sitting in the passenger seat of a car and approaching a lit red light in a left turn only lane at a T intersection. A brightly lit store illuminates the dark left center of the photograph and a deep orange sunset peaks through the black clouds on the right. A slightly blurry windshield wiper blocks a small portion of the right hand side of the photo. Utility poles and power lines are loosely scattered throughout the photo. A thin layer of rain already coats the road as the red light reflects off of its dark surface. A dark photograph of grey storm clouds over a dark green field. A large windmill stands in the left center of the photograph while other windmills sit further away, barely able to be seen. A light pink sky peaks through the back of the photo in the center while a wall of fluffy clouds hang low towards the front. A photograph of scattered clouds at a light orange sunset and pale blue sky. A streak of light peaks over a large dark cloud on the right of the photograph, illuminating a light fluffy clouds above it. A dark line of corn lines the foreground.

A black and white tuxedo cat sleeps on a tan blanket. His face and chest are white and both his ears have large black spots on them. He has a pink nose and a small tooth leaking out on the right side of his mouth.

She’s doing really good and her heart is looking stable right now. Her pressure in her heart is showing that her arteries may be more developed than we initially thought meaning that she has an even better survival chance than we all thought initially 🥺
An orange 3D ultrasound picture of a 32 week fetus. The face is fully visible and front facing. The lips and nose appear squished and the cheeks appear round and chubby with a pointed chin.
