Repost @joyannreid.bsky.social: Read this again: the MULTIRACIAL working class. Poor/working class people have more in common with each other than anyone has with the wealthy and super wealthy. Understand how class works, and who has designed the system that keeps most folks sick and struggling.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...
