Hello,
I’m writing from the United States to send a small note of solidarity to NATO friends and allies around the world. Many of us here do not support threats or hostility toward other countries, and we are deeply scared (but not subdued) by the direction our country is heading. Our government does not speak for all of us,

I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. With care from one human to another.

Peace

A cartoon illustration of 3 people dressed as ghosts standing in an abandoned house, realizing that the 4th person standing with them is actually a floating ghost. Caption reads "The 3 of them had been having a wonderful time playing 'ghosts' in the old house until they realized they were now 4."

Sweet home, frozen Chicago

Pic from a plane on approach to Chicago OHare coming in from the east over Lake Michigan. The lake is a beautiful teal blue with thin splotches of ice across its surface. The shoreline cuts the photo in half with the Chicago skyline in the center. The sky is a soft blue with golden light from the rising sun off to the left side. A little bit of pink clouds on the right side. The temperature is around 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

We are here. #January #BeckyBarnicoat

Drawing by Becky Barnicoat Fo Grazia. Title: how time works. Chart shaped as a roller coast where the months of January and February are going "up" and are super long, and then all of the other months are going "down" and are super short.
A trolley is on the month of January and above it it says "you" with an arrow pointing at the trolley.

A black cat lying sideways on a cushion, looking sad. Behind is a bookshelf with some books and other things, a bit out of focus.

Hey all,

I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.

Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?
