#SFFBookClub for sci-fi/fantasy
#NFBookClub for non-fiction, though not currently active I think

#CatStoriesClub is pretty self-explanatory, but more loose "talk about what you're reading" rather than reading specific books together

#FanficFriday *kind of* counts I think. I'm counting it.

I might start a comics one but I'm bad at starting things so who knows.

Tried to make this my banner but it is NOT the right shape so I'll just share with you all now <3

You can add a text description to images on most clients.

Here's a guide on how to write description (or 'alt text'): https://www2.le.ac.uk/webcentre/plone/build/basics/add-images/alt-text

🔔 To get started:

1. Follow me and I'll start to follow you back
2. Every time you forget to add a text description to an image I will send you a reminder.

Don't want reminders anymore Unfollow me!

if you have trouble remembering to do this (i had that problem a couple of years ago) then you can follow a bot that will follow you back and remind you to caption if you post an image without a description

this is just one example, i think there are more:
@PleaseCaption

- some people need them to get any value out of your image

- some people find them extremely helpful to provide context for the subject/content/point you're making

- it's an opportunity to be creative, you can have fun with them while also being informative

- there's been an odd exception, but in general i don't boost images without descriptions, and i know i'm not the only person with that policy

in summation: use image descriptions

@flowless2 fediverse police arriving in an open source jalopy. it has no siren. instead they are simply posting "wee woo wee woo" over and over.

"To let things slide for the sake of friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism."

-Mao Zedong

Yall has anyone on the #fediverse ever found and/or read the English translation of Alexsandr Dugin's “Foundations of Geopolitics: the Geopolitical Future of Russia?” I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does anyone sell a Kirk slash Spock t-shirt?

Ideally, a t-shirt with Kirk kissing Spock?

WAN history time!

@ella_kane is the person who created the #WeAreNameless concept and hashtag.

Ella hosted WAN until January 2020, after which the baton was passed to @Mnemonic for keeping.

At first WAN didn't have a stream, nor a riot channel and even less the capacity to have a weekly show like it has since a couple of months.

WAN seems to have changed for good with the new host.
Maybe it'll change even more in the future. Who knows?

With new beginnings there are also some endings, though. It has been a long overdue announcement, but @ella_kane will not come back as a WAN host.

Whatever this project becomes will be solely on your hands. You, the community. And Mnemonic.

Enjoy!

Ben&Jerry's, my fav ice-cream, is fair trade and has yummy lactose-free options.

What else is there like this (at least fair trade!) that's a yummy snack?
