I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

The fight over books isn't about books. It's a fight over queer folks, trans folks, folks of color, disabled folks, and every other marginalized group whose lives are truly at stake.
Books are one of many tools through which these people are being attacked.

You aren't fighting against book bans unless you're fighting for trans people.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period?
"End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text."
This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new!

Alt Text: What to Write
Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.
