I don't personally think we should give small accounts a terribly hard time about including alt text to make their images accessible: you should be doing it if you can, ask for help if you can't. Organisations with hundreds of thousands of followers not bothering with alt text for images of text?☠️

My day can be best summed up by saying at least the second plate didn't break. And most of the food landed on a handy bit of unimportant paper so could be salvaged. You?

Someone needs to invent some kind of online calculator whereby we Brits can put in our recent healthcare appointments/meds/experiences and it’ll calculate what it would cost on average in the USA. Just to hammer home how bloody lucky we are to have the NHS and how fiercely we need to protect it.

Just saw a post about muting spotify wrapped and it made me a little sad, because I want to share that my daughter is my number one artist and top 5 songs, and two of my other top 5 artists are also indies. Feel free to check out Marchant, Jack Schwab and Bebe Barry, plus lots of other indies.
