Presented without commentary. Because I have no words.
There is an article in my local paper talking about the price of eggs and the impact on restaurants.

This was the first comment.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

To our Canadian and Mexican friends:

Reasonable Americans are deeply embarrassed today by the actions of this clownish administration.

I realize that’s cold comfort, but please know we stand with you.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

Remember. They can steal many things from you, but they can’t steal your spark. Whatever ignites your passion, pursue it. Whatever brings you joy, do it. Even small things add up. This chapter will be a difficult one. We need each other. Connect, protect, choose love, find strength. Unite, friends💜

I’m lost. What is he even rambling about? Obviously heaters, but why??
Trump on gas heaters compared to electric: "The heat is much better. It's a much better heat. As the expression goes, you don't itch."

For some, the All-Terrain Wheelchair Program provides their first time experiencing hiking on natural, unpaved trails.
In this photo, a program participant pauses for a photo on the boardwalk by the pond at Logoly State Park before exploring the rest of the park in the Trackchair.

Hiking is for everyone! ♿️🌳
We have partnered with Arkansas State Parks to bring these all-terrain wheelchairs to our beautiful state parks. They are free to use, but reservations are required. #everyonebelongsoutdoors #accessibletrails #accessibility #arkansas

A thread on the importance of alt text and how to include it on the images you post.
I just scrolled #EduSky for a few minutes and counted how many images used alt text vs those that did not.

Only 17 images had alt text whereas 36 did not. This means our community is not accessible to blind users or others who use screen readers.

We have a lot of room for improvement. 🧵
