I see people saying “I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!” Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that. - Go to Settings - Then Accessibility - Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting. Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.

Bluesky Accessibltg Settings menu Alt Text submenus Options are: Require alt text before posting Display larger alt text badges Both have toggles for on or off.

Even moderate physical activity can be dangerous during extreme heat. Now imagine competing in the World Cup. Players are facing temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in matches from Miami to Kansas City. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/extreme-heat-outdoor-activity-unsafe

Extreme heat is cutting the time people can safely be active outdoors

Heat and humidity now severely limit light physical activity for millions of people around the world, with older adults facing the greatest burden.

Someone on instagram said "Patagonia suing Pattie Gonia for trademark infringement, when Patagonia is already named after a place, is like Alaska Airlines suing Alaska Thunderfuck or Montana spray paint suing Hannah Montana" and that is correct. www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...

In an open letter and video, the climate activist and drag queen breaks her silence on the active federal trademark infringement suit with Patagonia, challenging the outdoor giant's core values.

Condé Union@condeunion.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …
