"Could you turn me into a cat?" the man asked.
The witch gave him a long look. "Why?"
"So I could be your familiar," he said with a grin.
"What an interesting idea! Let me try."
*poof*
"Oops!" the witch said.
She picked up the frog. "Let's get you to a pond."
A black-and-white longhaired cat is sitting on a paved patio near the right side, next to a wooden shed wall and door. In the background along the fence is a narrow garden bed with dark soil and two small trees/shrubs; one has a red plant tag. A green garden hose lies coiled on the patio on the left. A metal ladder is leaning against the fence near the center-right.
All gardening must, of course, be done under close surveillance and supervision by the supervisor superieur: Matcha. No plants get to enter this yard without her approval!

A narrow raised garden bed runs along a wooden fence. In the bed are two small, round, leafy green plants spaced apart near the left and center. On the right side is a small shrub with glossy green leaves and bright pink flowers; a red-and-white plant tag is attached behind it. The soil looks freshly turned and dark. A person’s forearm and hand are touching the flowering shrub on the right.
A woman with light skin and brown hair pulled back is crouching beside a raised garden bed, watering the soil with a garden hose sprayer. The sprayer is dark green and black, and a wide stream of water is aimed at the base of a small leafy plant in the bed. The bed is bordered by weathered wooden boards and filled with dark soil. A wooden fence made of vertical planks runs along the back. On the right side, a larger shrub or small tree with many green-and-yellow leaves (some leaves have brown spots) fills the foreground. A small plant tag with a red flower photo is attached near the smaller plant.
A woman with light skin and brown hair in a low ponytail is crouching by a long, narrow garden bed along a wooden fence, watering the soil with a dark green and black hose sprayer. In the bed there are several small shrubs spaced out in a line; one near her has broad, glossy green leaves and a red plant tag. Farther down the bed there’s a small mound-like green plant. The area beside the bed is a paved patio or walkway.
A woman with light skin and brown hair in a low ponytail is crouching on a paved patio, watering a small shrub planted in a patch of dark soil at the base of a brick wall corner. She’s using a green-and-black hose sprayer, and a green garden hose runs across the patio. Behind her on the left is a large bush with dark green leaves and multiple red flowers. On the right side near the wall are stacked concrete blocks and a wooden gate or fence post. She’s wearing a light gray and white striped T-shirt, black pants, and black shoes with red accents, and there’s a small device with a keypad clipped at her waist.

I have been trapped for ages. I grab a door handle; it breaks off. It's chocolate.
"Ahaha!" The mad chocolatier's laugh rasps from hidden speakers. "Everything here is made of chocolate!"
I stop. Everything? I focus on my fears... They manifest as chocolate monsters.
I eat them.
"You're free."
Before the entrance to the superhero academy, the boys compared powers.
"What do you do?"
"Er..."
"C'mon, spill!"
"I can add pockets."
"Like, interdimensional?"
"No, just normal, usable pockets. To any garment, matching any material."
"What use is that?"
"If I can help anyone I'd be happy."
Love reading audiobooks? Trying not to support big tech?
Hey hey 👋 We're an audiobook company that shares profits with indie bookshops. Not only are we a Certified B Corp, Social Purpose Corporation, & 100% employee owned, but our audiobooks are DRM-free—meaning you can listen to them anywhere.
HUGS, if you appreciate those. Otherwise: Sympathy. Both in a mix are also an option. Hope you feel better soon!
I, uh. Forgot a thing. A book came out on Tuesday with a story of mine inside. It’s a tale of the Polish coven from the Iron Druid Chronicles, the Sisters of the Three Auroras. There are also many other stories inside by urban fantasy authors you’ve heard of. Behold: bookshop.org/a/107403/978...
A cat sitting behind a window, centered between two objects inside. The cat has a black-and-orange face with a white muzzle and chest, upright ears, and pale green eyes staring forward. To the left of the cat is a beige woven scratching bag with thick rope handles and metal grommets. To the right is a tall beige cylindrical scratching post or cat tree column with horizontal texture. The photo is taken from outside; the window glass shows reflections, and a brick building with windows and some greenery is visible in the reflection. (Description by Be My Eyes)

... know what they call the... technicalities. It'd be like expecting you to know all the bits of a laptop or parts of a horse or terms for patchwork quilting. We're happy to know there are sparkly bits on the dress, AND that she's wearing it. Those are the most important bits. :) Plus your humour!
Right! But the point of alt-text is to describe what you see. Fashion-terms are just extras, and if you don't know them, probably a lot of the people needing the alt-text don't either. I have to google fashion-terms a lot when I read, because despite being a user of clothes, I don't... 1/2
"Gray dress with sparkly bits" kinda covers it though, doesn't it? :) What your alt-text *always* does is bring happies, and that counts for a lot.

Poster with a blue background showing a white world map and a red stethoscope graphic wrapped around the map. Text reads: World Health Day, 7th of April
For millions who are blind or have low vision, healthcare barriers start long before the hospital: forms, apps, and instructions often aren’t accessible.
This #WorldHealthDay, let’s make accessibility the standard, not the exception. 🌍
Woohoo! New Iron Druid stories out today! Get thee to thy favorite bookmonger and enjoy! And let your Iron Druid peeps know it’s out, eh?
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting next to each other, Blue is on his laptop while Green is reading an appliance manual. Green: Let's see the safety booklet! "Only plug into properly installed outlets. Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. If the appliance starts to leak unknown liquid, do not lick it. Do not sew clothes while someone is wearing them." Blue turns around to look at Green in disbelief, while Green goes on, reading aloud as if nothing is out of place. Green: "Do not let pets or small children use the sewing machine unsupervised."
A mixed bouquet of flowers in a tall, matte-black vase on a white windowsill. The bouquet includes pale yellow chrysanthemum-like blooms, a single yellow rose near the center, two large daisy-like gerbera flowers in orange-yellow with darker orange centers (one on the right side and one toward the upper middle), small white filler flowers, glossy green leaves, and a cluster of small red berry-like buds near the center-right. A small round yellow decorative element sits near the top of the arrangement; an upside-down egg or possibly the butt of a baby-chick with its feet sticking up in the air. Behind the bouquet is a window with an outdoor view: cloudy sky, leafy trees, and a red-brown brick apartment building with white window frames.
At least ONE egg seems to have got away safely from all the egg-hunters this year.😹 Happy spring, Easter, sweetsmunching-weekend, everyone!🍬🐣
Thanks @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social for the beautiful flowers. ❤️💛❤️😻

Tuesday throwback:
Apparently, finding tires to sit in make me happy!
And right now, listening to the rain… with my cats.
They like how sounds.
What random things makes you happy?
The world definitely needs more “ happy “.
I know I do. 😁❤️
A tan wolf-figurine is lying on its side on a desk, facing left. Most of its side, front leg, rear and back leg are covered in silvery, mirror-like, irregularly shaped mosaics. Its head is lifted, as though howling. The desk has spots and smudges here and there on it, and there's a few items visible in the picture, including a lamp-foot, a cable and part of the photographer's red smock.
Same figurine again, now turned around so it faces to the right. Part of this side has also been covered in the same shiny mosaics, but not yet as much as the left.
The wolf-figurine is now standing upright and is photographed from behind. Most of the back and rear are now shown to be covered in the shiny mosaics. The lighting makes some of them appear black or even red, reflecting the colour of the photographer's smock. In the background, there’s a white sign with Swedish text: “Kärleken ser inte med Ögonen utan med Själen...” To the right there’s a desk lamp base and a cup holding scissors and pens. There are also small jars/containers on the desk.
Getting there...

A calico cat sprawls along the top edge of a tan couch while a black-and-white tuxedo cat nestles beside it, both sunbathing by a bright window. The calico’s white chest and paws stand out; the tuxedo cat is curled with a white chest and one white paw visible. (Description by Be My Eyes)

A fluffy calico cat is lying on her back on soft, black fleece fabric,with her tail stretched out to the right. The cat has mostly white fur on her belly and chest, with orange and darker patches on the head and body, and a very bushy gray-brown tail. One yellow-green eye is visible and open, and the cat’s pink nose and mouth are visible as her head tilts slightly back. Her white front paws are curled up against the chest in a relaxed pose. She doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon.
Kicking off the new week in style. Let's get this party started!
