Tip for artists and photographers here: If your intention is to share your work widely, then you will want to add alt-text to your photos. There are tons of people out there who want to follow you, and re-post your beautiful work, but won't if it lacks alt-text. Do yourself a favor, add alt-text!

It's my birthday today so the rules say that you have to repost my artwork.🥳 (They do! You can look them up!) (The rules don't say that also you have to wishlist my upcoming spy puzzle game but if you're into thinky puzzle games, I hope you'll consider doing so as a birthday gift!) s.team/a/3406690

I was just singing a hearty rendition of Gossip’s “Standing In The Way of Control” and my 4 year old asked me “can you keep it down” 🫠 and I said “EXCUSE ME?!” Turns out he was doing a sticker book and the page kept lifting up, so he was asking me to keep the page down while he put a sticker on it
