@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#Alt4You A drawing of a black cat in profile, seated on a flat surface, reaching out one paw to knock off the table an elephant figurine in red, white, and blue. A large headline above the drawing says “November 3rd, 2026”.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social #Alt4you 2026 : « Désolé. » 1995 : « Je suis vraiment désolé de t’avoir blessée. » 1870 : « Je regrette profondément d’avoir pu causer de la peine à une personne dont l’affection m’est si précieuse. »

Original Post #ALT4you Dropped my daughter off at daycare, and she says, "Mommy, yesterday Miss Kita bit me." I'm like, WHO IS MISS KITA?! She says, "Miss Kita... you know her." Now I'm walking in there like a concerned parent AND a detective- "Which one of y'all is Miss Kita biting my child?!" Her teacher says, "Uh, we don't have a Miss Kita... but a mosquito did bite her yesterday." I looked at my daughter like, GIRL, YOU BETTER PRONOUNCE THOSE WORDS RIGHT BEFORE I END UP ON THE NEWS.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#Alt4You A black & white comic in three parts. In the first, a songbird by her nest says, "My babies! Somebody ate my babies! In the next, a corvid (possibly a crow) says "I ate them and I'll eat them again next year! In the bottom part, an elderly man is smiling as he listens to a CD over headphones. The CD cover reads: Relaxing Bird Sounds

@tazgetroete@mastodon.social Wieso verwendet ihr Ökozid Automation um einen total unbrauchbaren AltText zu generieren? Shame! #Alt4You: Zwei Bilder von feiernden Menschen mit Flaggen von Brasilien bzw. Serbien. Taz-Titelmacher überfordert: Zwei gute Nachrichren auf einmal. In Brasilien gewinnt Lula gegen Bolsonaro Jr., in Serbien besiegt die Studentenliste Vucic. Btw gendern wär nice.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social #Alt4You:) screencap of (Xitter?) post by @qasimrashid, saying:

To recap:

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#ALT4you A talkative dinosaur sneaks up on a horrified caveman. The dinosaur: Your anatomy beguiles my palate! Abscond before I commence mastication. The caveman: Oh crap! It's a thesaurus!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social #Alt4You A post by “Matt”, with their last name cut off: “Every time I walk into a library I think, ‘Wow, this is what society looks like when it’s actually doing its job.’ Free heat. Free seats. Free Internet. Free knowledge. If aliens landed tomorrow, I’d take them to a library first just to prove we’re capable of getting one thing right.”

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#ALT4you Four panel comic Two people are on a raft in the middle of the ocean. There is a becalmed green sail or flag, and on deck is a small container marked "bags". Second panel: a whale arrives and swallows the raft and its occupants Third panel: the occupants are busy inside the whale, using telescopic grabbers to pick up plastic bottles and other trash and filling waste bags Fourth panel: the raft is back on the ocean with a few filled bags of waste, they wave to the whale who is smiling and blowing spray in appreciation

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I swear I am typing up this #ALT4you of my own volition and am in no way under duress: { madwomanlauren Are any other women struggling to reconcile two very distinct urges: 1) to be cozy and make soup and bake treats; and 2) to form a female vigilante group and hunt down predators c.m.manfredi Hear me out. We start the soup in a slow cooker. We go fuck shit up We come back for soup and treats and cozy pyjamas } The above under the larger caption: "This gets my vote for the best thing I've seen on the internet today" by The Mouthy Ren and the rest is cropped out

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#ALT4you A take on MC Escher's artwork "Drawing Hands". In the original, two hands, one right, one left, come to life from the paper on which they are drawn, to draw each other. In this variation, one of the hands is human and drawing the other, whereas the other hand is robotic and holding the other end of the pencil to erase the human hand.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social #Alt4You The problem with Congress as explained by one graph. [The image then goes on to show eight pie charts. Eh, go fig.] Millionaires in Congress: 51% Millionaires in America: 5% White men in Congress: 77% White men in America: 31% Women in Congress: 21% Women in America: 51% Over 55 in Congress: 67% Over 55 in America: 28%

@stonebear2@hachyderm.io #Alt4You Social media post by Nicole Renée (@the_mommy_lama): Talked to my college kid yesterday. Cornell rapist Johnathan Newell now attends my child's small private college (it's in his home town). The rest of students in the school doxxed his home address and started group chats to notify each other every time he is spotted on campus. I hear he is being harassed on the daily. He won't last much longer there. May he and every other person in that group chat never know another moment of peace.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social #Alt4You Men on the Clancy Case: "you don't need evidence, her husband said she admitted she did it" Men on the Cornell 7: "there's no evidence! You can't believe what she said just because she said it"

@Heidi@infosec.exchange header text 'How Cyber Works' above silhouette of figure with outstretched arm. Diagram like olfactory system shows chaos goes into mouth, to belly full of spite (and stars), along arm and electric cyber zaps out of fingers. #ALT4you

@AaronDavid@beige.party @dyckron@cosocial.ca One of my favourite quotes. #Alt4You: JOHN BOGLE, the Vanguard founder who passed away in 2019, once told a story about money that highlights something we don't think about enough: At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, "Yes, but I have something he will never have ... enough” Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word-stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn't have been more accurate. For a critical element of our society, including many of the wealthiest and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#ALT4you A person is holding a small collection of very strange strawberries, with quite a few lobes, far more than the usual one. Dialog: Buyer: are these strawberries genetically modified? Seller: why do you ask? Strawberry: yeah, why do you ask??

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social#ALT4you Caption: I'm not coming to work today, I'm at the hospital getting an MRI Boss: I don't believe you, send me a picture The picture: A man in red gym shorts is lying on a somewhat medically-looking table with a white cloth, and his head is indeed in a machine with a round hole, but on closer inspection the machine is a front-loading washing machine (or dryer), and the chair and window in the background further stretch the truth
