I appreciate sighted fediverse users concern about image descriptions and ways to be "screenreader friendly." Mostly I agree with you, maybe with quibbles but they're not worth trying to nitpick and I'm aware I'm not the sole authority, just one visually impaired person.

But sometimes you all end up talking to each other and I worry that some of the advice that makes me wince is getting solidified into prescriptivism. Please make sure visually impaired people are part of these conversations.

@lemememeringue Sure thing! In recommended reading order:

Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie.

Never Split the Difference by Voss and Raz.

Let me know if those help!

why build statues of racists and war criminals when you can build a statue of me, the hero who managed to wake up before noon

Did you know that the Bible actually actively condemns tradition for tradition's sake?

It actually tells people to examine all traditions, look at why and if it still adds enrichment to your life, and then either toss it or keep it.

Tradition for tradition's sake is how you grow stale and how you stop growing, and that's dangerous, because you are called to grow.

no rubber duck debugging

society has progressed past the need for rubber duck debugging

always confuses me when i see teenagers with some solid political ideology, whatever it may be. I think the only strong convictions I held as a teenager were about deus ex and the beastie boys
