- If you post images, please use alt-text. Not only does it help visually impaired who use screen readers, but also the neurodivergent, helps your post get discovered, can be translated, will be seen instead of unloaded images if Internet's super-slow, much more. publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al...
- Thx @wanderlingworld.bsky.social for clarifying what "hidden hashtags" are. It would be GREAT if feeds were able to find these. Some people would be less likely to cram so many hashtags into posts. I know it's for discoverability, but always looks so spammy to me (I avoid sharing those posts).
- If you use deck.blue you can add hidden hashtags. People searching for your tag will still find your posts, they just don't clutter up your posting text. But right now only one feed creator supports feeds finding hidden hashtags. So that majorly decentivises us from using this feature until then.
- Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! Psst: you can access my #MothersDay gif via Bluesky by clicking on GIF when composing a post, searching for "@debbieohi mothersday"
- Reminder: DO YOUR BACKUPS. And backups of your backups. @jridpath.bsky.social set up a system for me that includes Time Machine, @backblaze.bsky.social & Carbon Copy Cloner.
- I've found HP Premium 32 printer paper most affordable paper for my #FountainPen writing/art. Expensive compared to regular printer paper BUT cheap compared to Tomoe River etc. Note the relative lack of feathering in close-up (compared to my earlier post). Hm. Maybe I should make my own notebks?
- To #FountainPen people: I've been using a Rhodia A5 notebook forever as my go-to #BulletJournal, but it's getting so expensive. Any suggestions? My criteria: - Paper needs to be fountain pen friendly (most important) - Notebook needs to be able to lie flat when opened to a double-spread #BuJoSky
- Woohoo! Just discovered a branch of the Toronto Public Library I’ve never visited before. #TorontoLibrary
- I've posted before how #AppleVisionPro 's accessibility features have enabled me to be more productive. I've created an updated video of what I see inside my AVP while I'm writing (my writer pal @claudiaosmond.bsky.social asked); accessibility info in my video notes: youtu.be/RCa7TFvq3fk #WriterSky
- For those who need it, I've updated my #Uplift feed: bsky.app/profile/debb... Hand-curated by yours truly, criteria unapologetically subjective.
- Thanks to @kidlitchat.bsky.social hosts @bonnieadamson.com & @gregpincus.bsky.social for another wonderful #kidlitchat. Follow @kidlitchat.bsky.social for upcoming topics! To those new here: Also check out KidLit Mega Feed! Info on how to post (pls read before asking, thx) here.
