       Your occasional reminder that AltText matters. AltText ideally describes the image /video / sound file in a way that explains what it looks like or its contents. e.g. A cartoon mastodon holding a smartphone plus text explaining why using AltText matters!Image by @mostaurelius :boost_ok: #art #photo #AltText #ALT4you #accessibility​

       Journaling is a habit that can be very helpful for our mental health, especially if we focus on noticing what's going well.Combined with drawing, it can use more areas of your brain. Personally, urban sketching is great as it also encourages me to go for a walk.Journaling and brisk walking for 15 minutes are 2 habits proven to improve mental health, over 21+ days.#art #MentalHealth  #urbansketching #journaling #ArtJournal

       @keelan 5. The UK is pet & horse mad but, when horses get old or injured, they get shipped to mainland Europe as meat. We won't (knowingly) eat them here but seem happy for Belgians to add them to the menu, or for them to be turned into pet food or 'beef'.  :blobcateyes: https://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/hub/horsemeat-scandal-facts-and-effects/

       BetterHelp is a counseling service that advertises a lot on YouTube. I'm in the UK and hadn't heard of the issues before.  A Mastodon post alerted me to it's unethical behaviour, so I searched for a link. The service was called out by the  FTC  (USA) for sharing clients'  confidential data to various advertising platforms including Facebook (Meta).BetterHelp was ordered to pay $7.8m, used to refund clients from  2017-20.https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/03/ftc-says-online-counseling-service-betterhelp-pushed-people-handing-over-health-information-broke#mentalHealth #DataProtection

       One billionaire has gone into space. Any chance we could get rid of the rest of them?As is usual with such egotistic folk, they had to be the first person to poke their head out of the craft. "The first non-professional astronaut to walk in space"Great. Blow millions from selling military jets by funding Space Karen's hate machine to go into space, then say it's a "beautiful world". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crkmgvzl70yt#tech #science #SpaceX
