A friendly reminder from the Nurses Union:

Since Netflix is airing a scifi horror series that takes place on an oil rig, might I interest you in one you can read or listen to?

Alright folks, for those that would like to follow @haveibeenpwned on Mastodon, I've now set up an *official* account.

There are a bunch of fake ones around the place on other Mastodon instances, the legit one only follows my account and has a *verified* link through to the website.

Also, shoutout to me for temporarily breaking the website by linking through to the full Mastodon URL without properly escaping the @ symbol in the Razor syntax. It's been a big day 😅

Hey, everyone. It’s good to be here. Some things about me: I’ve been a research intern with “60 Minutes,” breaking news editor for an aggregator app, contributor for the Huffington Post, and I’m a voracious reader.

Hi! Please welcome @transqueerfem to Mastodon! Hailey is a wonderful trans writer, translator and educator in São Paulo who has been teaching me Portuguese.

If you need a Brazilian Portuguese teacher, I highly recommend Hailey!

Also she has a Patreon at "wickedwithofthesouthamerica" and a Ko-Fi under "haileykaas". Please chip in to help her get a new computer and come to the USA to study!

In a couple of different places on Mastodon this week I’ve seen people saying something to the effect of “what does visible alt text matter, it’s for screen readers.”

Here are just a few scenarios why people might want to view alt text visually:

1. “I made the post and I want to double check the alt text I wrote.”
2. “I did not make the post but I want to learn how other people write alt text so I can write better descriptions.”
3. “I’m having trouble making sense of the image but I think a written description would help.”
4. “My vision is enough to read text at my preferred font size but not in a tiny screenshot with jpeg compression.”
5. “This is what works best for me because of reasons I don’t want to get into.”

Accessibility is for everyone. Try not to make assumptions.

This seems like a big deal. Both @jeff (newsie.social) and @supernovae (universeodon.com) are offering to help smaller instances that are considering shutting down due to cost.

"If you are a #mastodonadmin of an instance that is 1000+ users and considering shutting down please reach out to me." >>> https://newsie.social/@jeff/109642749739164655

"We're happy to help as well - either keep things up or sustain them for the 3 months for people to gracefully migrate away." >>> https://universeodon.com/@supernovae/109643101732217279

"You can't hoard princesses!" the knights shouted.
"I don't," said the dragon. "Tima, for instance, is a farmer."
"That's not what... You keep them looked in!"
"The lock is on the inside."
"What?"
"They're not locked in. You're locked out."
"They can't do that!"
"I see why, now."

A week from today, come contemplate the question of what sanctuary means. There will be live music and an audience Q&A. Free and open to the public with RSVP: https://www.themarginalian.org/live/

Mythbusters were going to do an episode which highlighted the immense security flaws in most credit cards. But Discovery was threatened by - and eventually gave into - immense legal pressure from the major credit card companies to not air the episode.
