Just a guy on the internet, totally a human and not an alien, if that’s what you were wondering.

  • Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.

    As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

    I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.


















  • I wouldn’t say ‘most jobs’, but a lot of jobs don’t actually care about diplomas.

    • The customer service jobs I’ve had typically only had a short ‘can you do basic math?’ type quiz beforehand just to see if I could operate a cash register.

    • My warehouse jobs just had simple safety training and subsequent quizzes.

    • Restaurant work only requires a food-handler’s card.

    In my experience, entry-level jobs care more about you having a reliable form of transportation + flexible schedule than if you passed high school.






  • This is a tricky question. I’m inclined to have a positive opinion about CBD, but if I’m completely honest I don’t feel much of anything from it solo. I’ve taken CBD by itself multiple times and it always just seemed like a placebo. I think CBD and THC together have a great synergy, but it really misses the mark when I only have the one without psychoactive effects.

    On the other hand, I’ve had friends swear by CBD tinctures. They were doing large doses (like 50mg+) daily and claimed it had all sorts of benefits for their chronic pain or upset stomach. I never tried doing doses that big regularly just because of the cost and my previous experiences leaving me dissatisfied.

    For what it’s worth, Extract Labs is one of the sources I’ve had recommended to me by a trusted friend.
