@Jacel yay! :D
@zebratron2084 @Azruulei I once dreamed about somebody I knew on UseNet who went by the handle "Piranha" and completely obscured every possible avenue of information about themselves, including gender, name, country of origin, much less physical appearance.
I once dreamed that I met Piranha in person, and they were a sentient school of--word-fish, words swimming like fishes in the air.
that probably counts as postfurry, eh? ;)
@Azruulei *ahem* @literorrery, could you post a link to your writeup(s) again please? ;) (also hey @zebratron2084)
hey

@Leucrotta hover over the picture with mouse, a thing should come up that says "Describe for the visually impaired" - that's a text field you can type in

good thread. we built the wrong world.
The coordinated attack on US elections isn't a partisan issue. New research shows that Russian-operated social media sites also attacked Jeb Bush in support of Trump.

General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.
Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.
We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."
