Side note but we love how you always add alt text 🤩

Thriving not surviving, love that for him

What's he up to

We've written a video description so this incredible moment can be enjoyed by all! Enjoy.

if they were it would have been absolutely fair enough

I know I spend too much time on the internet because I thought they were shouting: "GIRL! GUUUURRRRLLLLL!!!"

Christ alive that's dark

Husband woke from a dream last night and said:

"I was juggling... with dough... and then [pointing into the darkened corner] he threw some dough at me"

and promptly fell back into a deep sleep. THANKS LUV.

Cathy and Heathcliff making an entrance through white doors. He has wavy brown hair, wears a black overcoat and walks with a cane. She steals the scene with her dress featuring a white bodice, floaty sleeves and a wide, blood red skirt with a plastic sheen. Her blonde hair is pulled into tight French braids. The pair look around the room, as if as a challenge to any onlookers.

Making social media more accessible for blind and partially sighted people (and for everyone!) really wuthers our heights.

If you have any questions about alt text, we're always here to chat.

it's hard work but someone has to do it

Cathy in a wedding dress, walking along the Yorkshire moors. She doesn't look happy to be wed. Her huge, gossamer veil blows behind her, partially obscuring the brown, rolling heather of the moors. It's held on by a crown shaped like leaves. Her dress is white with a fine leaf print. She holds a bouquet of white, blue and red roses.

Us on our way to marry alt text.

(Except we'd be much happier, because we love alt text.)

Lads did I tell you I got a freelance gig with Scribely literally just writing alt text for things. Best role ever

Cathy in the new Wuthering Heights movie, clawing at a padded wall which looks like skin. She faces away from us, with a long, blonde, French braid in her hair and wearing a white blouse with billowing sleeves. The wall, offputtingly, features blue veins and freckles. She looks like she’s trying to tear through it and escape, and we don’t blame her.

Bluesky!
It's me, I'm Scribely,
I've come home, I'm so cold.
Let me write your alt text, oh oh oh!

(Translation: we've written image descriptions of stills from the new Wuthering Heights movie - a thread. Strap yourselves in.)

I want to go to the hairdressers looking like a gremlin but I don't want my hairdresser to think this is my default state of being and give me a gremlin haircut to match. Much to consider

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

Dark mode

Work is such a huge drain on all of our time, it's wise not to stick with something that makes you actively unhappy or uncomfortable. There will be something better out there, and you have the luxury of looking while secure in a role. (Also if you have a good network, freelance could be cool)

Read the Rolling Stone article about her life after MySpace fame, it's quite the trip

There's something about kids still cutting about with Kiki Kannibal-esque scene skunk hair that makes me feel earnestly hopeful

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.
