Alt text always depends on context. Imagine an icon of a computer printer. It could be used on a page of free icons. It could be on a school's computer lab site. Or it could be part of a button that allows you to print the current page. In each instance, the same icon would need different alt text.

I have seen a Tumblr post where someone explains how to animals, we're the fey.
You really don't want to be around humans if you can help it. They're capricious and might just kill you for the hell of it.
But if you have a problem that's way bigger than you can handle... Well. Maybe ask a human.

Humans: "humans are trash, I hope we all die"
Literally all other animals: "shit, I need some help, I should go find one of those giant terrifying apes, they'll fix it for me, cause that's what they do"

we were out hill-walking once when I was a teenager, and a little grey cat started following us in the village, then followed us all the way up the hill. we stopped for a picnic and she came to curl up and sit in our laps. when we went down to the village again she meowed and went her own way.

You'd think it was common sense not to try to use the path with a sea lion on it, but apparantly not.

Actually I think a reasonable analogy; & an example imo of how much more resonant authentic voice can be than mannered & elliptical precision and lists of bullet points.
A student's paper just described the interaction between Homo sapiens and Neandertals as "a situationship rather than a relationship" and I'm still laughing ten minutes later 💀🏺

In 2007, a clip went viral of a man being stopped on the street by a Guangzhou TV reporter. The man was asked about a sex scandal that was all over the news at the time and his reply has been a popular Chinese slang phrase for not getting involved ever since. He said “I’m just here to buy soy sauce”

Change my mind: "Prior good character" should *increase* the sentence in cases like this
He didn’t hand himself in ffs and it was was 10 years of offending. “While he (McSkimming) expressed remorse, the report writer said he centred the impact on himself and those close to him, and did not express contrition regarding the level of harm caused to the children in images” #nzpol

The disgraced former top cop was sentenced to nine months' home detention and does not need to register on the child sex offending registry.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

So not being able to drive isn't actually enough to get a total mobility card. You have to have significant difficulty with public transport also. This is cutting taxi funding to people who have no other option.

The coalition sucks. There was no need for this. Landlords got a MASSIVE tax cut. But mobility for the the elderly - they couldn’t give a shit. The fact that the elderly and disabled cannot drive matters not a bit to these utter assholes.
They are fucking the country like they always do.

So here are all my thoughts (this evening) on what we are losing, and what we still have and what it was/is useful for.
