Oh good, I started worrying after the fact that I came across weird when all I meant was there were good reasons to not feel conflicted about sticking with short alt text if you want to 😆 glad we got there lmao

way to communicate "visual art, safe to scroll on."
Sorry, it's weird to fuss over but my ex was legally blind and his screen reader friends would've haaated using this site. They liked music and written works, not long alt text describing a painting to people who may have never experienced color 😅

No one's art is, really, but people visually impaired enough to use a screen reader don't really engage that much with something you just have to be able to see to understand. In our case, the most useful alt text is short and starts with an art term, like "painting" or "drawing." It's the fastest--

Anyway "painting of a wolf" is 1000% fine and don't let people who seem to have forgotten/never known why alt text exists stress you out or, more importantly, become a mental barrier to posting your work!

I'm fascinated (derogatory) by the alt text culture here. Not because alt text isn't important but because making it a visible caption to sighted people has turned it into a stage for tumblr-tag-style jokes and essay descriptions of visual media to ppl who specifically don't navigate life visually 😂

Definitely wishing you luck with getting it all organized! Thanks for entertaining my questions :)

I was kinda curious if you could direct ship the whole run and conveniently get around the international barriers in the process, but I guess I'd be surprised if it was cost effective for small runs like that. A rabbit hole to go down when I can't sleep at 2 AM 😅

Huh, cool, never thought about small-run merch sales without a storefront. Are there manufacturers who would do direct ship without being prohibitively expensive, or would you need to fuss with shipping yourself?

I imagine text-only drafts would make them impractical for most visual artists until media is supported. That said, if it's a big enough pain in the ass to implement, text-only on release would at least make the core feature available to everyone else while you guys work on expanding functionality

Is this comment section how it was in the early years? Never used twit so by the time I stumbled on dril, he was already an internet darling 🤔

Seconding this. I draw big so I can scale things down after, but I almost never zoom in more than 50%

shit all the time anyway, but reworking a whole ass comic that probably won't even be done by the time I change my mind again is admittedly kinda daunting...

"No" is probably an understatement, I'm afraid 😞

omfg, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that shit in *inpatient* of all places. It's not exactly a place where I've ever done my best thinking and I probably would've made that everyone's problem whether I wanted to or not 😣 So glad you found a support system who hears you and empathizes

I'm still annoyed on the scale wrap but I have no idea where the working file is to fix it T.T But I'm glad you love it regardless!

No, thankfully, as we decided against giving him a phone at his age due to lack of opposable thumbs and being dumber than a post 😔

I thought about that right after I posted it and was very proud of my subconsience for helping entertain on the internet

My mom gifted us a fancy litter box that, I shit you not, *required* an app and 2-factor auth to operate. Unfortunately, the actually-required mechanical pieces broke within a week and we returned to our dumb-but-functional litter box 😂

I try not to dwell on any of my childhood idiocy that happened on horseback. Spikes my blood pressure 😂

Seems like a service called Roboposts is another popular scheduler, if you want options. Googling "bluesky post scheduler" might get even more :)

I'm the tech-savvy friend in question and yes, Buffer is a post scheduler/thread composer/etc 3rd party service I've been playing with so I can explain how it works to Crow later, haha

Oh, that's awesome! Looks like the dev team made a lot of headway against the bot wave, too. Hopefully you can enjoy some peace and quiet now 😄
