gently my darlings, please use alt text. It matters for folks, and it takes all of 30 seconds. You can even set Bluesky not to let you post, until you include it. (Setting > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting.) I know forming a new habit is hard, but it's the right thing to do.

I used to wonder how a society that could build in concrete simply forgot how and had to revert to wood, but then I saw how a society that knew how to prevent measles simply forgot and had to revert to children dying unnecessarily and now I get it.
