ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.
I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.
So my name came across as:

What a fabulous song. I definitely got a tear in my eye.
Thrilled to have seen that “unknown blues singer” before she hit the big time 😉 #GRAMMYS2023 #bonnieraitt
People of the Internet, you can stop searching for the jerkiest, most dumbass headline of the day. Even with such stiff competition, this is the clear winner. I'm not going to provide a link, because gar-bahge like this doesn't even deserve hate-traffic. #BonnieRaitt is immortal. #Grammys #music

#NEWS: A federal judge Monday said the #SupremeCourt's #Dobbs decision may *not* have ended the constitutional right to an #abortion.
She wants briefing on whether the 13th amendment — or any other — might confer such a right. #legal https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/06/federal-judge-constitutional-right-abortion-dobbs-00081391

I don’t know if “climate activist” is really the right way to put it. Like, if I’m drowning and trying to come up for air, I’m not suddenly an “oxygen activist”—I’m literally just trying to stay alive. Maybe addressing climate change shouldn’t be viewed as an “activist” position.
teacher: what does “agnostic” mean?
me: I don’t know
teacher: correct! how about “ambivalent”?
me: *shrug*
teacher: yes! how about “nihilistic”?
me: what difference does any of this make?
teacher: amazing
Absolute must-read on how we now know that #Russia and NY's corrupt #FBI office used "active measures" to ensure Trump's election. Until we understand this, our country is lost. #USpol #politics https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-specter-of-2016?utm_campaign=post

BREAKING: Judge MEHTA, from the bench, rejects #Trump's last-ditch attempt to upend #Navarro's contempt of Congress trial, says Jan. 23 letter from Trump's attorney about executive privilege has no bearing on the case.
MEHTA says Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran, inaccurately characterized Justice Jackson ruling in the McGahn case. There remains no evidence Trump invoked executive privilege to prevent Navarro from testimony. #legal #news
@GottaLaff 🧵 is *chef’s kiss*

Wow! Well this is a hell of a plot twist!

New: A bunch of Santos-related campaign committees just filed FEC paperwork stating that Thomas Datwyler was replacing Nancy Marks as treasurer.
A huge however: Derek Ross, Datwyler's attorney, just told me that his client did not agree to be treasurer for those committees.
