So perhaps crows share schadenfreude with us and we are no more advanced than the common corvidae. Maybe that's what Nietzsche was really talking about with his Übermensch, not a super human in the physical sense but a human that could rise above the primitive brain to think more rationally...

Periodic reminder (?) that people are forgetting to add text descriptions to their graphics.

How to Add Alt Text to Photos:

It depends slightly on the platform you use, but when you're composing a post
and go to attach an image, you'll see a small line superimposed on the bottom
of the image that says: "No description added."

You can then click on that message to add a description of the image that
explains what's in it. Doing so benefits blind people using screen readers.
If you don't add an alt-text expect fewer boosts!

The mobile apps (Ivory,icecubes) you simply click on the photo to add alt-text.

That's Nanook in my profile photo now. She loves to help me to refill my fountain pens. One of these days she's going leave a paw print or knock an ink bottle off of the table.

Reminder folks leaving #twitter don't treat this as if it was still twitter. Use hashtags and use them liberally. Mastodon unlike twitter will not search your posts. I'm still seeing newbies here not using hashtags. Boosts yes will help you but #hashtags use them. Otherwise, Welcome to Mastodon!
