November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
TDOR was founded by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender woman, in 1999 to honour the life of Rita Hester, a black trans woman who was murdered in 1998.
Protect your trans friends and family, speak up for them, and listen to them.

also, the alt text interacts with other text based functions, so widespread use makes search and muted words more effective. real community benefits to everyone, not just the visually impaired users for whom it’s a necessity
When I joined Bluesky last year, alt-text was new to me, and it seemed tedious, and kind of scolding.
Since then, I feel it as an act of kindness, care, and inclusion, and it’s become automatic to include descriptions on every image.
I hope it becomes like 2nd nature for you too.
It feels good.

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images!
Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:

Hi folks, can we get y’all to ALT text? I’m seeing a lot of big accounts come over and not realize our culture of accessibility
Bonus is whatever you put in ALT is searchable so you get more engagement! There is even a tab in settings to require you to do ALT before you post!

before you decide you don't want to vaccinate your children you should have to take a 4 hour cemetery tour with me where i point out every tiny little headstone of a child that died from a preventable disease and is buried with their parents who would have done anything to save them

Happy last day of Pride month!
Using my photos from last year or finally out loud publicly say that 🌈 I'm queer 🌈 !!!
So hi. while I'm still figuring myself out, the terms I most easily identify with these days are bisexual, non-binary, and maybe even gender fluid.

Calling all music fans!
If you hear music on a streaming service that sounds like an artist you know, but the track is attributed to someone else…please for the Love of Art, tell them. Try to contact the artist, or the label, or post about it somewhere, anywhere.

Omg what a flipping nightmare. I hope if my music ever gets similarly hijacked the NYTimes will investigate like they did for this band
Their Songs Were Stolen by Phantom Artists. They Couldn’t Get Them Back.
Bad Dog, a group from D.C., was forced to take a crash course in streaming fraud, a shadowy realm that costs musicians $2 billion a year.
