Today I saw a doctor whose first language was Ladino, and he spoke it a bit to me. Actually sort of had a conversation – I spoke Spanish, he spoke Ladino in return. It occurred to me later that hearing a native Ladino speaker is not something future generations will get to experience.

Today is International Day of People with Disability so again I beg that you use Alt Text for all your photos, videos, and GIFs.
Not only does it make social media more accessible for folks who use screen readers, it also provides added context to your posts.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast for a while now, it’s one of those that leaves you feeling as if you’ve spent time in good company. Plus this episode has some important stuff about the role of conspiracy theories and how they can be a slippery slope.

What to do about foreign talent?
A debate raged in the court of Qin 2,200yrs ago:
‘Important officials told the King of Qin: “People from [other] states who come to serve Qin merely travel here to cause dissension in Qin on behalf of their own rulers. We request the complete expulsion of aliens.”

Alt text that that has humor and personality and sounds like it was written by the person who took the photo is great, but you gotta do that while remembering that the fundamental purpose is communicating what the image is.
Alt Text isn't the space for seo, secret notes, or inside jokes. It's for people to access media and any context or information that that media has.
If we gon make things right, we gotta find ways to make things right that don't leave us behind.

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.

Well, if it’s 26 November, it must be the 139th anniversary of a divorce case so saucy and notorious it gave us the phrase “what the butler saw”, and newspapers suppressed some of the details of the domestic servant in question’s testimony because it was “unfit for publication”

This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.
