Lots of big liberal/”progressive” accounts right now talking about standing up for marginalized people and not including alt text.
Please use the alt-text on your images and video descriptions.
Alt text is important because it makes websites and digital content more accessible. It allows users, especially those with visual impairments, to access information conveyed through images via screen readers. (It also helps SEO!)

Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps-NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection-but about white supremacy protection.
As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy
Does anyone else use StoryGraph? I think I like it more than Goodreads; an added bonus is that it’s not owned by Amazon.

I have solved the dartboard more than 40 times.
I think I am behind on making contraptions?
The quote suggests a state of acceptance or even contentment as a fruit ripens, and its natural sweetness (the honey) permeates the body, leading to a calmer, more relaxed state. The idea is that with the arrival of ripe sweetness (or maturity), the internal struggle (thicker blood) subsides.
Fireflies tonight!
