Once again, the move fast and break things strategy backfires as the regime has to reverse a number of layoffs.

They’re testing us.

They make horribly bad and dangerous decisions and wait to see how much public outcry there is.

If it’s a lot, they change course.

It’s exhausting.

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

It's a new year, which means time for a new commitment to accessibility.

- Turn on alt text reminders
- Include alt text with all images/gifs/videos
- Include closed captions on streams
- Be mindful of ableist and saneist language

A little guide to help artists properly post their art in Bluesky!

#tutorial

An image with notes explaining how to properly post art on Bluesky so it gets picked up by the Feeds' algorithms, allowing more people to see your art. Among the tips are: Using hashtags, tagging your art as adult or suggestive content, using the Alt Text (Alternative Text) function, and reposting (retweeting) your own art multiple times along the day.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎
