Hey guys, I could use a bit of help this month. If you can't, a repost really does help too and I'd very much appreciate it. This month has been kinda awful, to say the least. Every little bit of support helps <3

White House staffer Margo Martin tweets "Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis" with a photo of Trump and a bunch of dudes and some female heads way in the back
i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account
Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.
He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.
And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.
He’s a danger to our planet and our health.
Meme with a photo of a fountain drink machine with a cup sitting under two nozzles (red and blue), a hand pushing both buttons at once and liquid coming from both nozzles. The blue (left) drink is labelled "grateful for the insight I have gained from all my experiences" and the red (right) drink is labelled "still thinks some of that sh*t should not have happened". The hand is labelled "me".
Ik the world is a dumpster fire but I’m pretty excited bc I FINALLY found a basic skincare routine that works well for me while still being easy to maintain, and none of the products have random crap I’m allergic to in them! It honestly feels like a minor miracle atp

Irregular reminder: Doomerism is functionally identical to Denialism
Cynicism & despair aren’t a tribute to rationality; they’re failure of imagination & resilience. Making things less bad is more important than achieving perfection. Any start is better than none.
Hope & Joy are essential activism
I want to work in marketing, preferably in publishing, and I laugh whenever they try and say AI is the future of marketing.
It's not. Younger generations can recognize AI and distrust ads with it, because AI ads have become synonymous with scams. Older generations are catching up.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.
Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.
COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.
If I ran a site that attracted funny sexy inclusive people I would simply be proud of my user base instead of menacing them daily

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
New to the idea of adding Alt Text to images? This is the best thread I’ve seen explaining what and why. The basic idea is to write a brief description of any image you post. For people who can’t see the image well and need a text-based option.
I love how i don't need to know French to understand this.
"Doing nothing with th[e] land is ... better than putting [a] data center on there."
Reminder that I also live in the community that relies on the Colorado River. Which is also frequently in the headlines about fear of scarcity of water. So I'm not being hyperbolic.
And AI data centers stealing up all the water is the same violence that was protested at Standing Rock. So it can't be counter culture when it is dominant culture and systematic oppression.
I feel that the Bluesky devs have sinned and we are all suffering the Seven Plagues of AI until they stop using Claude code
The photo is fire, but the ALT text made my day.
I would hope this is obvious to most people, but if you have a loved one who’s a picky eater (for any reason, but especially if they’re a picky eater due to autism), it is imperative that you accommodate their food needs. Especially if they’re your partner or your kid, who you signed up for loving
now that we're seeing in real time bsky shitting the bed every few days, this is the perfect time to turn on your alt text so people know what the fuck you're trying to show
we’re just $1700 away from this goal!

don’t you want to pay for my greasy little son’s probiotics
There's a reason why Meta's employee keylogging plans are only being deployed in the US -- per experts we spoke to, this sort of monitoring would be illegal in much of Europe, where such monitoring is a violation of worker privacy.
In the US, most states don't even require notice of surveillance.
so given the disingenuous nature of Pride Worcester’s apology i decided to reach out to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette about it. They called me yesterday for an interview, talked to a couple Rabbis, and this article is the result:

That thing they do in marketing where a website asks if you want to sign up for whatever and the choices are "YES!" and "No, I'm a stupid little baby" I'll go ahead and click the stupid baby button. Nice try but I don't care
Bluesky photos breaking shows another use case of ALT text.... If you have it I can still understand your post and if you don't your post is a big blank spot.
The issue with image uploads is a great test of everyone’s ALT text! #accessibility
