@VedaDalsette Seems I can’t add alt text to someone else’s image.
@VedaDalsette I wonder if mine have actually been saved and I’m just missing the “ALT?”
@DebR @GottaLaff So the right thing is early and often self-exams along with earlier mammograms. Maybe mammograms should be every 6 months?
@DebR @GottaLaff Fact is, without regular self-check you can be in trouble. Self-check should start at puberty. I had an aggressive tumor that appeared between mammograms. Stage 4. I’d be dead if not for self-check.

@Patrickstewart I had my first haircut at Harrods.

@VedaDalsette Try posting one with no alt text, and edit after posting.
@VedaDalsette I just tried a photo, and the alt text is there. Looks like it has to be done from the beginning. Editing doesn’t help.
@VedaDalsette That shows alt text.
@VedaDalsette @ivory I’ve done it a few times now, hit save and update every time. No luck.

@ivory How come once I edit a post to add alt text, the alt text doesn’t stick? Why isn’t there a way to do that from the beginning, rather than as an edit? Or am I doing it wrong?
@flexghost @1finekitty Her constituents voted for an 85-year-old candidate in 2018, for an office with a 6-year term.
I can understand supporting someone of that age for an office with a 2-year term, but not for 6.
Grassley will be 95 when his term ends.
Here’s an excellent wrap up of the arguments in favor of Biden’s calling McCarthy’s bluff ⬇️
