It's kind of funny that as a kid I thought This Be the Verse was too bleak and these days I tend to think of it as being too generous.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

I will *never* forgive search engines for messing with my beloved quoted search terms.
No, I don't want something sort-of similar to this, I don't want you to guess what the average user might have meant with that search term, I want the results with this *exact* string in them and only those!

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

People stress me out with how much they misunderstand "alt text is contextual".
It doesn't mean you put the context of the image in the alt text. It doesn't mean you skimp on the alt text, either.
It means the alt text is going to change depending on where and why you post the image.

It means the alt text is going to change depending on where and why you post the image.
The main point of alt text is to say what the point of the image is in context. So that someone who can see it will get the same meaning as someone who is relying on a screen reader for alt text.
And because of that, where you're sharing the image will very probably change what you say it means.
