Heya folks,

I was just curious, what makes for a good image description

I typically try to just give context for an image without being too literal about every detail but I don't actually know if that is good or useful

Does anyone who makes use of image descriptions have any advice for what is most useful or things to avoid?

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

@Canageek @DialMforMara I wish I knew more about the backstory behind these, because they only show up on extras, and only early in the first season. there was a lot of promise there. riker in a short skant and tall boots? hell yes.

Fedi is like a comedy show and a burlesque show and an art show and a TED talk and a court trial all going on at once, on the same stage, and all the participants are engaged in each of those all at the same time.

Hey, I have a blind friend who might want to join us on the Fediverse. Does anyone have a guide to accessibility etc that might be more useful than me just sending her a link to an instance?

all masculinity is not bad! masculinity is not inherently bad! masculinity is valid!!

there are people -- cis, trans, and otherwise -- who are doing masculinity SO RIGHT. and i love them.

they will be the ones that heal it. encourage them. you don't have to be masculine to help. and never discourage someone from being who they are.

if masculinity is not for you, don't shit on it. there are masculine people trying to live their lives.

Hi hello good evening the rainforest is burning. If you're in the US, you might not know what you can do to help. Here's some ideas:

It's mostly "donate" and "sign petitions", but every bit helps until we find better collective actions.
