God bless.


There is a moral dilemma in photographing those who sleep rough. Walking around the CBD of Sydney, they are in concrete abundance. Not to see them is not to see what is going on.

Yet there is a sharp power gradient here, a cliff of privilege and unacknowledged sheer luck that separates us the pedestrians from they, the dwellers and shelterers.

For street photographers not to tackle this social issue is to foster a blind spot. However, using individuals without their consent, photographically doxxing them is problematic.

I have taken identifiable photos of the homeless before, but it always felt a little dirty. Now I think it makes more sense both aesthetically and morally to anonymise, blur the boundaries, and capture images from a place of we/us.

controversial (?) opinion: alt text should not "explain the joke" or provide additional information that's not apparent in the image itself. latest example i saw is here mastodon.world/@paninid/114888… (and please, i don't intend to shit on this post / user ... it's actually super laudable that they provide alt text). the alt not only describes the image, but then goes on to explain the meme ... but that's not what alt is for #a11y #accessibility

in reply to Pratik Patel

sure, it's a balancing act. but don't explain the actual joke beyond the context (the original post that triggered my musings this morning has now gone ahead and kindly updated the alt to remove the original "This meme humorously compares ..." explanation)

@dj3ei I noticed the original edits when I pulled up the thread. It's definitely a balancing act. There's also the fact that people getting descriptions from AIs don't really think about what's in the description. It's easier to copy and paste without editing. I have specific system prompts I use when I'm looking for photo descriptions for myself. They shorten what AIs give me and remove a lot of extraneous crap.

They never learn, I swear to Christ. The agreement is between several parties, Suella. It was negotiated by individuals whose moral & intellectual stature is beyond your fucking comprehension. You don't get to unilaterally rewrite it so it satisfies your pathological simple-mindedness.

I honestly think it is time for the people on this island and the Irish Government to take seriously the belief that a Border Poll will be called to suit those in GB not in Ireland.

I don't think we have the luxury to wait anymore, with people likes of Braverman and Farage heading to NO 10, the island of Ireland has to start preparing the ground without the input or say so of the British Government. (English Nationalist if we are being honest)

in reply to Jacqui ☘️

For Reunification, we have to start the discussions on what a new Ireland will look like - it has to be better than Brexit means Brexit, which was just meaningless jingoism for the hard of thinking.

We can't allow the idiots that brought us Brexit to destroy our peace agreement, it is more important to this island than Brexit will ever be. If that means accepting that GB wants us gone then let's embrace it instead of being scared by it.

It is time to go...
