This reminds me of the time the fire alarm went off while you were recovering from FFS. You just walked out onto your balcony and told me you were ready to die instead of walking down 9 flights of stairs

this is the best visualisation of thinking i've ever seen, it's *exactly* what's going on in my head. i've tried to describe this as a "mental stack" before. go click on it
Few days back I mentioned to a friend I have always struggled with commas in sentences. Friend mentioned to use parenthesis. So I have tried to show how deeply it usually goes, and wrote a bit of JS + CSS to help people to read it.

After years and years the Korg Phase8 is finally out. I did a video on it where I treated it *respectfully* but it turns out it likes to be treated *weird*.

fondly remembering the How To Write Alt Text For Naked People class i ran in the hellthread, where people were like "i have no idea how to talk about myself" and the alt texts were like "this is an amazing dope-ass naked person, they look INCREDIBLE, they're killing it in xyz ways". good things
some of my favorite people are so-called alt-text scolds ❤️
and seriously, I’m always happy to help if you feel unsure about how to get your alt-text game in gear
I am wishing all of us a more accessible 2026

If you've followed me for a while, then you know I'm sometimes one of those awful "alt text scolds", aka "just another disability activist"
When I came here in July of 2023, I finally learned about alt text and became passionate about helping those with different disabilities than mine.
