TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Let's do another #ctenophore survey.
You are scuba divining and see this lobate comb jelly cruising in search of prey. Is it swimming to the LEFT or RIGHT?

This is the definition of "uterus" as appears at the top of a Google search when you're looking to find the meaning of the word.
...and it contains a MAJOR factual inaccuracy. Let's explain exactly what is so wrong here.

Reasons why so-called "positive stereotypes" are still bad:
1. They still assume all members of a group share identical traits. You're still refusing to see members of that group as individuals.

Did you know there’s a whole spectrum of stuff in between “spend all weekend cleaning your house” and “don’t do anything at all because it’s so overwhelming”?
Wipe down one counter. Put away half a load of laundry. Vacuum one room. You can do a little bit, and it helps! And then you can stop!

The very talented Sydney Padua made pictures based on the jobs Victorian woman had according to the 1881 census, reminding us they didn't all just stayed at home cooking and looking after the kids.

In Chinese #mythology, peaches symbolize prolonging life and longevity.
In traditional auspicious patterns, they are often paired with bats, ribbons and the character '壽,', representing '萬福萬壽(blessings for ten thousand years)'.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Let's talk about the last time the US government incarcerated an antire fucking ethnic group, because the warning signs are already there, & most Americans still call it "the internment," as if 120k Japanese Americans, 100k of whom were American citizens, spent 3 years at some government spa.
