For all the effort being made for alt text, how do I even read it in other people’s posts on Micro.blog?

My kids are growing too quickly
Lately, both of my kids have been learning so much and it’s intense seeing them grow before my eyes.
No. 1 is 4 and has known his ABCs and how to count for a while now, but he’s become so articulate, annunciating every letter perfectly (no elemenopee anymore). He’s also counting into the 40s and higher when reminded of the starting digit. Even more impressive are the questions he’s beginning to ask. Existential questions, and reflecting on complex topics, even accompanied by sadness and even anguish when speaking of loss. Wow.
No. 2 is 23 months and is saying short sentences and asserting her …

I had a lot of things in my Amazon cart that didn’t change in price at all today, but suddenly said 18% off next to that same price due to Black Friday.

I have my in-laws over for Thanksgiving this year, so we had a full house and it was a lot of fun! My first time cooking a turkey…turned out pretty good. Now we are just drinking old fashioneds, eating coconut cream pie, and huddled around the living room watching football and playing with the kids.

Notes
Santa almost forgot to close up the attic.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends. I’m cooking this year, pray for me.

I have a theory that eyeglass companies switched to polycarbonate lenses from glass, not because of weight or safety concerns, or because polycarbonate was better, but because polycarbonate scratches easily, so you have to replace your glasses more often.
Even with coatings, they just suck in my experience. I scratch up my polycarbonate lenses a couple months after getting them, without fail. I know I’m hard on them, but it’s still annoying.

Moved back over to my Mastodon server as my primary platform from Micro.blog. Too many issues lately, and I missed the iOS clients. Still copying over most things with RSS, but the biggest downside is that I’ll have to post images directly to Micro.blog since they’ll be linked to this server if I don’t. Not sure why I do this to myself.

When people complain about PNW winters, I send them pictures of Michigan. Grayer, colder, flat as hell, farm desert tundra, and a land use program that allows this.

Dealing with Italian bureaucracy is fun.
I need a SPID (electronic credential) to order my Italian birth certificate online from my comune where I’m registered.
I need a physical card of my Codice Fiscale (Social Security Card) to get the SPID.
I snail mailed for the card 2 years ago, sent to the Italian Consulate in San Francisco, who is supposed to request it from Italy.
Consulate lost my application for Codice Fiscale.

Do others on Micro.blog truly get RSS updates in their timelines? I’ve subscribed to one and even though there have been new posts, I’m not getting the content. Same goes with a Tumblr blog I follow. Wondering if it’s just me.

Keep getting this error.
