Crazy jumping buck in neighbor’s yard early yesterday morning, frisking with two others, I think they’re sensing the rut, sowing oats. They came back around in the afternoon. Meantime, spotted a rotund furball on the morning ramble. #Hiking #GetOutside #AltText

@GeriAQuin @mkwadee does a daily #calvinandhobbes with #alttext. I look forward to it each day.
@workingclasshistory.com may be interested in this from #positivenews
"The world needs more working-class writers. The Bee is going to find, nurture and publish them." That's the rallying cry of those behind a venture that aims to address the "class problem" in UK publishing.
The launch of The Bee - a twice-yearly magazine, podcast and online writing community - responds to research that shows just 12% of writers in the British workforce are from working-class backgrounds."

@crk5 Suggested #AltText
A sign taped to a glass door reads "If you are coughing [first emoji] kindly take a mask and put on [second emoji]." The second emoji is just the standard emoji wearing a face mask.
The first emoji has a hand in front of its mouth, a little bit like it's coughing. But the fingers & thumb are cupped as if encircling a long cylindrical object about the size of a cucumber, or maybe an eggplant. The cheek opposite the hand is bulging out, as if from the tip of the imaginary eggplant; and curved motion lines imply that the eggplant is moving rapidly back and forth. The emoji is also shown with lipstick and makeup so that it appears female-presenting.
An overlying comment reads "That emoji is NOT coughing [laughing emoji]".
#MothOfTheDay isn't a bold, colourful one. It's a monochromatic carpet of dark grey and white. But quite a nice example of its type:
KNOT GRASS
Acronicta rumicis
Larvae feed on pretty much anything. One of the 'dagger' moths, so closely related to Grey/Dark Dagger, one of my favourites
An Australian kookaburra, not sitting in the old gum tree, oh no, not since it discovered how litigious copyright holders could be. Don't tell it to laugh.
I got three clay samples in the mail yesterday from my #ClayPal @archeaids and it prompted a round of sig making.
I dissolved each clay sample in water and sieved through 60 mesh, added a tiny amount of sodium silicate to deflocculate and now to let them sit. Over time, the coarser particles will settle to the bottom and the top layer will be a silky, refined decorating slip. #clay #terrasigillata #wildclay #ceramics #art #alttext

LEAKED: Top-secret Democrat memo found on DC street reveals their "Project 2026" nightmare agenda
Higher taxes, open borders, skyrocketing gas prices, no more gas cars, crime in the streets, trans sex changes for kids, and no more freedom - this is their deranged blueprint

Busy day at the native prairie sunflower that I saved from a crack in the parking lot out back. The corn rootworms on the petals are on break b/c they got tired of being shoved out of the way by the common eastern bumble bee, lol.

@maggiemomo You’ll need to follow @altbot and agree to let it send you automated alt text. Here’s how it works:
The bot will send you a message first.
Reply with "Yes" to confirm.
It will then generate #AltText only when you post an image with an empty alt attribute.
This way, your images become more accessible without extra effort! 
Right, I am now unfollowing people who post memes (or other pictures whose content significantly includes text) without #AltText.
This is not OK.
Kuulin huhuja, että @MonaApp tuo uusimmassa päivityksessään automaattisen alttekstin luomisen kuvaan. Toistaiseksi vain englanninkielellä mikä on vähän harmi, mutta tyhjääkin parempi. Odotan mielenkiinnolla sen käytön testaamista.
Nicht zu fassen, die Leute, die auf fehlende #Alttext hinweisen, sind also jetzt verantwortlich dafür, dass "viele" sich hier nicht wohlfühlen.
Wie es den Menschen geht, die aufgrund von fehlenden Alttexten nur leere Flächen erkennen können. Egal oder was?
Und da sich wirklich viele einsetzen, dass Alttexte in Bildern erscheinen, kann es auch mal passieren, bei besonders textlastigen Bildern, dass diese genervt reagieren.
Da ist bei der Empathie irgendwas falsch abgebogen.
Today's #MothOfTheDay might be a bit déja-vu. I showcased this a while back from a first brood but it was a fading specimen, and this second brood specimen is much brighter, and needed showing to the world!
