Langston Hughes (1902—1967) is one of my favorite American poets. "Freedom" is soul-stirring and timeless, and one of my favorites of his. #BlackHistoryMonth www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/151031...

I started watching Severance on Apple TV this year, and I have to say, it's become one of my favorite shows ever. It's got a fantastic creepy, low-key buzzy vibe that makes the show really exhilarating to watch. My hands are usually clenched the entire time. And the cinematography is gorgeous.

I'm an American Hardcover by Darshana Khiani, illustrated by Laura Freeman. This lovely picture book celebrates immigrants and their journey to America while not shying away from the racism and barriers they faced. #ReadYourWorld #immigrant #racism #picturebook

First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not meant for easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

Check out this very helpful list! Great for picture book writers and also writers in other genres, graphic designers, and instructional designers. Her challenge is useful for those who develop online courses and textbooks and are trying to make materials more inclusive.

Here's a list of real nature photographers posting their own work, who make their images accessible with Alt Text. I love that Bluesky values actual people and not those image stealing accounts. This is just to get you started, there are tons more great photographers here! 🌿 #birds 🧪

Polished up a picture book draft for a critique session this coming Saturday. I'm reminded again of how I am dramatically more productive and efficient when I have specific deadlines.
