I love the ALT description Chat gave me. 😅 Here's what I got:
The scene portrays a cozy, lived-in home that radiates warmth, comfort, and a sense of mindful intention. The central focus is a softly lit living room with a gentle, ambient glow coming from rechargeable candles placed on wall-mounted shelves. The flickering of the candlelight adds a sense of calm and serenity to the space. On a plush, inviting couch, a gray tabby cat, presumably Steve, is curled up and resting peacefully. His relaxed posture symbolizes a feeling of safety, contentment, and homey tranquility. Next to the couch is a small side table holding an open planner. The planner is brightly colored and neatly sectioned with visible headings labeled “Rest,” “Reflection,” and “Renewal” — symbolic of the user's intentional approach to seasonal planning and self-improvement. The pages are filled with small, tidy notes, giving a sense of careful organization and thoughtfulness. In the background, the kitchen area is partially visible. A crockpot on the kitchen counter releases soft wisps of steam, indicating a meal is being prepared — a nod to the user’s routine of using crockpot meals for simplicity and efficiency. Nearby, there are meal prep containers neatly arranged, suggesting readiness and preparedness for the days ahead. On the right side of the image, there is a glimpse of a bathroom vanity. The vanity is clean and minimalist, with neatly organized personal care items like bottles and jars. The simplicity of the layout reflects the user's dedication to decluttering and maintaining a calm, functional space. The entire atmosphere of the image evokes a sense of peaceful balance. It tells the story of someone actively working toward personal growth, organization, and thoughtful daily routines. Small, intentional details like the flickering candles, resting cat, and open planner suggest a life focused on mindfulness, planning, and making space for both productivity and rest.

You have mastered alt text! It is now mandatory for me to always read the alt text. 🐿

Their own big toe? "Oh mighty digit, provide me with the divine guidance I require to continue to walk where no other god has walked before." 😅

Well, good morning!
The image shows a close-up of an adorable ginger tabby cat curled up contentedly around a ceramic mug or cup. The cat's eyes are gently closed, indicating it is in a blissful, relaxed state. Its fur appears soft and fluffy, with stripes of orange, brown, and white. The cat is nestled cozily within the mug, seeming to perfectly fit inside it. The overall scene conveys a sense of comfort, warmth, and pure feline contentment.

Also add ALT text to any pictures or videos you post. This was new to me. It makes this site easier to follow for people with visual needs. We love an inclusive site! Poe is a great, free AI tool for creating captions in seconds. It's what I've been using.
The image provides tips for moving from the platform Xitter to the platform Bsky. It is titled "Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky". The key points are: Before following people, fill out your profile bio, PFP (profile picture), banner, and post at least 5-10 things. Reuse your top 10 banger tweets - recycling is encouraged. This helps people see you aren't a bot when they check your profile. Turn off NSFW filters in your settings. Find your friends from Xitter using SkyFollowerBridge.com, which can locate the majority of people you were following. Follow a few feeds related to your interests, such as "Catch Up" for best posts of the week, "Only Posts" to see new posts from those you follow, and "FollowersLike" to discover random things your followers liked. Turn on "Show Posts From My Feeds" in your settings to sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. Block trolls often - don't interact with them. Do not let content scrapers overwhelm the site - block them using the instructions provided. Use alt text to make images accessible. Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications, so mix in more regular posts and quotes. It's time to rebuild your presence on Bsky, but the best time is right now.

Lists! You need to make lists and add people to them as you follow. That way, you can control your feed. If there are news sources you follow, put them on the same list. Then click that list, and you will only get their feeds. It's cool to organize your feed.

Right! I also love how many styles they carry. Meanwhile, Doc Marten started making their shoes in China around 2007. Nothing wrong with them. They're still well-made, but I like the lore of originals. It's cool that Solovair has been making shoes for so long, and English boots are nice!

I just finished "The Water Dancer" by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This isn't a lighthearted read, but it's a beautifully written book, and the ending was satisfying. I loved the way the author phrased things. And the audiobook is enjoyable as well. Highly recommend.
The image shows the cover of a book titled "The Water Dancer" by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The cover features a striking underwater scene with swirling, vibrant colors and shapes that resemble flowing water and marine life. The title and author's name are displayed prominently at the top, and the subtitle "A Novel" is included at the bottom. The overall design conveys a sense of the fantastical and the mysterious, evoking the themes and imagery that are likely explored within the book.

That's good to hear! Just got this book from the library this evening. So far, it seems like it has an intriguing premise.

I live in a small town in Michigan. I went to my first local Democratic PAC meeting and met my State Representative, Jason Morgan. It's time I became active on a local level. 😎 Feeling more hopeful than I did before the meeting. LOTS of work to do!
