@dramypsyd @ckaras You know we’ll do anything for a publication.
@Ronnie So…I’m nerdier than you. Hot damn!
@Ronnie What’s wrong with having your own instance?

@georgetakei You know another great way to ally? Use alt text on your images so those of us who can’t see them can be clued in to what you’re talking about. It’s really disheartening to see a prominent figure who I admire and who regularly promotes inclusion not get in on the alt text bandwagon here. It helps so many, not just blind people like me and it’s not that difficult once you get in the habit, at least that’s what I’ve seen a lot of people saying around here. Think about it, please. And thanks to all of you already using alt text. It makes a big difference.

@bh913 The first book was great. I don’t know why I didn’t read the rest of the series.
