"For example, alt text might tell a user there is a puddle on the floor, but an image description might go into further detail and say there is a puddle of orange juice on a white tiled kitchen floor."
I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)

I'm not a naturally hopeful or optimistic person, but it's impossible to build a better world unless we can imagine one. Hope is essential. It is far easier not to have hope, but hopelessness only serves to benefit the oppressors.
Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

I suspect I'll get crap for this, but I do think it's something we all need to be reminded of, especially fans and creators of things.

The “viral photos and videos of animals acting cute or interesting with people or each other” industry has been destroyed by AI. The last few examples I’ve seen of this have been AI. I have a feeling slop will further derail a pop culture understanding of animal biology and behavior

In Mexico, blackouts caused by data centers destroyed people's refrigerators and oxygen equipment in hospitals, and water shortages meant toilets couldn't flush in schools.

AI is another version of colonial extraction.
“By 2035, data centers globally are projected to use about as much electricity as India…according to the International Energy Agency. A single data center can also use more than 500,000 gallons of water a day, nearly as much as an Olympic-size swimming pool.”

Since it's #MerMay, I wanted to post my character design interpretations from last year of Hans Christian Andersen’s #TheLittleMermaid fairy tale! This is my take on the mer-heroine (I've named her Iniya), complete with a wreath of lilies and oysters, as well as her veil from the original story!
