4 panel comic Panel 1: Pink guy and White guy are having a chat. White guy: Urrrgh! I’m so sick of immigrants! I’m moving to another country Panel 2: Pink guy: So, you’re gonna become an immigrant? Panel 3: White Guy: Well yeah, but I’m white, so y’know… Panel 4: White guy: Not like, an immigrant immigrant

what right wingers mean when they say immigrant

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

Definitely; I think will fare well 🍀

So true 😂 🎄🎅🏽🤐😂

CAT ADVISORY: With temperatures remaining uncomfortably low and #StormBert on its way it's important that you find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell your humans to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.

How to make your social media accessible If you're affected by sight loss, we're here for you

It's brilliant that people are so keen to learn about alt text, we love it! We have this guide on our website which might be handy rnib.in/AccessibleSocialMedia

Please do follow @accessibleha.bsky.social. Am proud to be an Ambassador for such an incredible and important initiative, with some great names behind it

Good morning 😊

Imagine if the lives of the average citizen were as important to the Media as the wealth of the richest billionaires.

Now imagine if it was far more important, like it should be.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

The wonderful Sonja H pushing my wheelchair, beside the River Leven, in the 2019 Glasgow Kilwalk

This is really just a "welcome" post. A wee introduction.

But I'll let others say more (in this case, the wonderful FareShare):

Benjamin Zephaniah "If you didn't have troublemakers, most women wouldn't have the right to vote, a black person wouldn't be talking to a white person and I'd be back in slavery. We need troublemakers to challenge the establishment. I want to be one of those people."

Part of Laurence Fox's racist rant to Sangita Myska which he has since deleted, and which has been sent to the Police.

Don't RT his shame.

Or do.

@sanjanafeasts.bsky.social for sure!

About alt text for new Blueskyers:

In settings turn on "require alt text" under "accessibility." Then, whenever you post a photo, just add a short description of the photo. For people with low vision or who are blind, alt text is read by their screen reader, so they know what the image is. 🤩

Saru che…this place is better than the hellhole of X!
