I tried that but it refused to transfer my info over and I died inside. Maybe I'll fiddle with it some more...

Also yes, ask your friends to help you clean out the overwhelming pile of shit. Ask your friends to help you move. Ask. Just ask. This is what society is _for_.

I spent most of my day helping a friend clean out a mouse poop infested garage stuffed with her late parent's hoarded things and I say: for the love of god throw out most of your own crap before you die

Now obviously they weren't in their right minds in the end but, gods.

If millennials actually had the power to destroy things I feel like Daylight Savings wouldnโ€™t be a thing anymore

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

A brief guide on writing good alt text for images, which suggests including 
1. Who or what
2. Their expression or emotion
3. A description of the image
4. Notable colors
5. Interesting features

The included example image and description: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head."

Dan's addition: saving the "interesting thing" for last is a bit like writing a joke - end with the memorable punchline!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

"I'm gonna go look at baby horses as my distraction" and one of the breeders I follow had a still birth

Honestly? Not a lot. They keep very earnestly telling me things will be okay. Like it sucks, pace yourself, don't take on too much, REST, it will be okay.

But it's like a long term sort of okay. Eventually, it will be okay.
