You can personally be responsible for 5% progress towards a politician getting overwhelmed.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Couple of points I want to mention:

This project is developing, and the @medsky.info isn't meant to target only anti-vax content.

I plan on adding labels re: anti-gender affirming care, anti-abortion, anti-psychotherapy, as well as labels for medical racism.

Stay tuned.

“he calls you darling” #poem #poetry #freeverse
a poem titled “he calls you darling” written in a dark red font on a paper textured background. it reads as follows: he calls you darling without any warning or reason. he tucks you safely against his own heart. you feel the beating of it hard and strong like the pulsing of some summer sun and rock concert sound equipment, five feet from stage. you're used to love feeling weak. something you had to beg out of bed in the morning. it always said "five more minutes" no matter how sweetly you smiled at it. but, he sees you sitting at the foot of his bed with your eyes glistening, a whine in your throat. he takes your hand in his and says, "darling, you don't have to beg." like somehow he knew that you'd been doing nothing else for years and years. "my darling," he says. and it's music to your ears. you can't get the sound of it out of your head. instead, your mind starts composing symphonies. you didn't know you could do that anymore. you didn't know anyone could awaken this in you ever again. but you are so, so awake— the kick drum of your heart just a-beating in time with his heart and his songs. he says, "i want to write songs for you." he says, "i want to sing for you." you want to tell him that your blood has been singing for him from the start. you've lost half your vocal range but you want to take lessons for him. for him. for hymn. suddenly everything is for him. and he calls you, darling. 04.10.24 | cm howard | missilesilo

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

'Bloodmoon Canyon' is a stunning photo, composite from two photos capturing a lunar eclipse & a slot canyon from Arizona.

It was created during the total lunar eclipse that occurred on 21 January 2019.

🔭 🧪 #eclipse
This composite image shows a slot canyon from Arizona and a "super blood wolf moon" appearing in the slot. Such a moon was a supermoon that occurred during the total lunar eclipse on 21 January 2019. The Moon was near its perigee. The predominant color is an intriguing red orange for both the slot canyon and the Moon, over a dark background.

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...
ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Other benefits of automatic alt text:

1. You can search your own images by keyword

2. If others have muted words that are included in your alt text, they also will be shielded from an image they didn’t want to see

3. It makes you awesome

Turn this on in the Accessibility settings and you’ll never forget alt text again!
