OK, can we please stop doing this "I have a wee pithy thing to say, so it's going to be a huge graphic with no ALT text" thing? Please? I even see news outlets and indie journalists do it.
You can't filter it out with a word list. It isn't viewable by those with screen readers. Just type your shit.

I am famous at my post office for asking to have heavy packages left on the porch instead of returned to the post office and left with a delivery attempt notification slip.
This is what I got the last time I asked.

So, this happened when I went to reply to someone I didn't follow yet over on the Mastodons. Why is this not standard, not just here on @bsky.app, but on every social media platform and open comments section everywhere?

If you use Bsky in a browser, and use the Dark Reader plugin, you get a nice middle ground between the too-light-and-too-much-blue Dim setting and the pitch-black white-border-on-black of Dark setting. Good for all-day srollin' and easy like Sunday mornin'.

When I was young, I did something to piss my mom off so badly that she chased me around the yard with a Whiffle ball bat. The hard, yellow plastic model that could kill ya.
I laughed the whole time until she stopped and just said "You have to sleep sometime."
I like to call this Baby's First PTSD.

This is straight from The Cable Company™️ playbook. They get you in at a low price, then slowly sneak it up bit by bit hoping you won't notice, then you have to call them and threaten to leave before they give you a "special retention price" for another year, then you do it all over again. No thanks.
