For people more used to other socials&#39; social etiquette where growing follower count is important, I don&#39;t expect a follow back - I&#39;m trying to rebalance my feed a bit away from doom, but I live in Nurn, so there is rather a lot of doom to be had hereabouts.<br />Finally joined Mastodon December &#39;22 and had to molt one instance since. Formerly of @urbanists.social.</p><p>If I boosted something without alt text I’ve probably added it in a comment under the alt4you hashtag (or am in the process of doing so) - if it doesn’t come up shortly let me know!</p>

    @stephanie@ottawa.place @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io If you aren’t, they insist you “look too healthy” to be sick or injured. There’s no winning condition if they first diagnose you with female, just one angle comes with moralizing false concern and the other with patronizing “praise.”

    @elebertus@eigenmagic.net @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org That’s the sort of thing I was remembering. I recall hearing several people discuss in NYC that people were offering cash, well above asking, as-is, sight-unseen, and I was wondering how many people were taking advantage of that situation to sell proverbial bridges. It seemed like an insane gamble to make, but I suppose they assumed they could fix up anything cheap relative to the cost of acquisition of the location.

    @elebertus@eigenmagic.net @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org It might derive from having lived through recent times when bidding wars were so fierce people would buy sight-unseen, which may still be ongoing in some parts of the country. At minimum the cost in effort is nil, so they’re happy to be shady about it.

    Lost nearly the whole weekend to migraine but managed to throw a huge saag aloo together and it was ridiculously delicious, with a week of leftovers even after we each had a couple huge servings (I barely ate for three days, he covered all my chores, so we were both starving.) I’d been craving something restaurant-worthy and this was definitely mongrel bastardized improv saag, rather than anything traditional, but it used a ton of what I had most of on its last legs, with wonderful textural and...

    @aj @taylorlorenz Yeah. &quot;It&#39;s social media without ads or manipulative algorithms, and you get to pick who you go through the same way you get to pick who holds your email.&quot;

    I never had &amp;quot;Bergman filtered through clown and drag&amp;quot; on my bingo card for synthesis on this topic, but here we are. I don&amp;#39;t think even a couple of years ago I&amp;#39;d have appreciated the visual language choices here as fully as now. Considering posting to Mastodon leaves me wondering if we&amp;#39;ll get to the point of doing full written breakdowns of visual work like this for wider accessibility at some point, and the kind of artistic movement that translation eff...

    @timixretroplays It’s kind of culturally revealing how surprised I was at the request in this post, but this is exactly what we should be doing - redistributing surplus goods to the people most eager to have them. Far better to land things in the hands of collectors than landfill. I hope you can adopt many turtles out of nonuse.

    @Pepijn Successfully lifted ducks and geese (well, ducklings and goslings.) No swans or cygnets though.

    @log I kinda prefer a robust transportation nexus vs. the private pickup option for a lot of reasons of corporate accountability, taxation liabilities, etc. but this would be a really useful model to jumpstart the rest of that.

    @potterybyosa The alt-text is for sure there, it was just invisible. I can&#39;t use the Mastodon app between missing features, glitches, and just turning my battery into a portable heater, so my data is all browser-based. ALSO glad you asked, especially since I&#39;d absolutely go on alt-texting other people&#39;s already-described videos in blithe enthusiasm absent that intel, ha! Thanks both for that and the lovely multilayered art (pottery, gardening, cinematography), it&#39;s always a joy t...

    @potterybyosa Oh, no, I can’t! I’m on Mastodon, apparently v4.5.7+glitch+0s - though clicking through to your server’s original page on mastodon.social doesn’t show me either, which may indicate some issue with the browser. Normally it will show me a small black badge in the (typically bottom right) corner reading ALT if alt text is available on stills, gifs, or video, and I can’t summon it by pressing and holding either, so that is *definitely* odd, maybe to do with the new iOS update? Looks li...

    @potterybyosa It’s such a gorgeous moment that people who can hear but not see the video (or maybe neither) might as well enjoy the doomscrolling interruption too! Really lovely staging &amp; garden here.
