Sad to see the news of Dave Parker passing away yesterday. This was really the guy who made me become a Pittsburgh Pirates fan at the age of 7 or so. Something about him struck me as a young kid and he was always my "favorite player" for the Pirates. Plus he wore black and gold, which I absolutely loved as a young kid, and would eventually go on to graduate high school from Klein Oak, which had black and gold as our colors!

I'm so glad he was finally elected into the MLB Hall Of Fame. Just sucks he passed away prior to the induction ceremony this coming July 27th.

Hey y'all, I started @AltAfterDark, inspired by the wonderful @alttexthalloffame! The goal is to encourage good alt-text on NSFW image posts, as well as showcase shining examples of spicy alt-text and accessible content.

Why? Because #AccessibilityIsHotAF, that's why.

What are our goals?
- Promote quality adult content that focuses on consent, community, and accessibility (great alt-text, proper CWs & hashtags) ❤️‍🔥
- Reduce the prevalence of porn-bot and repost accounts that post without subject consent, without alt-text or CWs, engage in hashtag spam, and lower the safety / enjoyment of folx on Fedi 🚫
- Engage positively with the community and generally be wholesome-ish 😉

How will we do it?
- With well-vetted human volunteers.
- By leading by example.
- With the help if the community.

What do we need?
- People to make nominations and submissions for content.
- More visibility.
- More contacts with varied NSFW tastes.

Come join us 😉

Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson restored to eligibility for Baseball Hall of Fame.

"it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve."

Seems reasonable.

Time to watch Field of Dreams again... wait, I just did that. 😂 Must have felt it coming! ⚾

👉 Petition to nominate certain posty toots for inclusion in the ALT TEXT HALL OF FAME.* Some of y'all are gifted AF and it's beautiful

*Yeah, there's no such thing. But there should be!

*Also, posty toots sounds like a breakfast cereal

I understand this isn't the most critical issue facing the #UnitedStates yet, it just shows that integrity, honesty and laws don't matter.

Oh, and tRump has discussed a pardon for Pete Rose. Not only did Pete bet on baseball, he's a rapist - just like tRump!!
