Tog has run off with Hoobastank. Jen is hosting this week with Parker. We recorded from a hallway in The Tennis Stop. It smelled strongly of urinal cleaning solution. As one might expect?

IN VALEN'S NAME, USE ALT TEXT FOR YOUR IMAGES.
You want to prove you're down for progressive causes? Do the most basic fucking thing ever and use alt-text. Also, use it to describe the image and provide context so that the people who rely on alt-text can experience your image as intended.

Short 🧵
We’d all been told throughout 2020-2021 that certain groups were ‘high risk,’ & those at higher risk were still encouraged to mask when mandates were dropped.
First in that high risk group listing was people over 50. (1/7)

Don’t say stuff and then close the replies. It makes you look like a major dick

Here are some more examples. These whistles come with an immigrant rights hotline, instructions on how to warn people. 3D printing is “a way to show a little extra solidarity, because it's being made for a specific purpose.”

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

Hey #catsky,
This human was sitting in MY spot, didn't move, and I don't think they understand how things work around here. Especially with what that hoodie says.

Storytime. You are in a small niche and you promote your niche newsletter by saying it's "the only one your readers say is worth opening" (so go promote it for them).
My take is different: have the backs of your niche. Lift each other up. This is a much nicer way to treat the community.

To be more human and relatable on camera, you do not need to be overly polished. As more AI content appears online, people will want real human connection even more. Sharing your imperfect experiences and telling real stories is what helps your audience connect with you.

Using a script can be a helpful tool for creating clear content. If you are a verbal processor or have certain neurodivergent traits, a script or detailed notes can help you avoid tangents and stay on point. It's an easier edit, too.
