Check those matching expressions of duping delight in that pic.

I mean, everything else matches; it's exactly where the worst of the fires happened (Lahaina), and nothing else anywhere near there looks like this. It's probably a structure that was added after the one at the top. Temporary floating dock or something.

Commenting this just bc it sounds like you're casting suspicion on the photos, but I'm pretty sure they're the same place.

 

Closeup photo of two light-grey long-haired house cats who are standing directly underneath a swing-arm desk lamp. They have long, luxurious whiskers and luxuriant "ruffs" of fur on their upper chests. They are both facing the camera, one behind the other, but they are looking directly up into the light bulb. The cat in front has a serene expression on its face and its eyes reflect the light. The cat in back appears dazed by the light, and its jaw is slightly open, exposing its teeth. Its eyes are not visible, as its head is leaned very far back.

Did we time travel? Are we now in Victorian England where an out-of-wedlock grandchild is some kind of scandal?? LOL

A "paradoxymoron" if you will, emphasis on the moron.

I've been reading way too many historical novels, because I read "called on" and thought, oh that's nice of them to visit them after what they went through. 🤦

They aren't connected except that the same mods run them. We don't, or haven't so far, posted duplicate posts. So that shouldn't be an issue.

And then we're also paying attention and when it seems appropriate, we will likely close down one and redirect traffic to the one we keep up.

Well I'm an idiot lol!

Anyhow, thx for passing my question on haha!

I know you've already done a ton of hard work on this, but are there any plans to try to integrate kbin?

Like, I can view my kbin communities anyway, but I can't moderate one from mlmym/lemmy.blahaj, for example.

If not, no biggie. Really like the interface for now.

To add to that, there was a bit of a time limit in which we had reason to believe we needed to secure the name so that it wouldn't be taken by certain persons and then just sat upon with no activity.

Yeah that's a good option that I WISH Reddit had... had. But only for the creator maybe?

By the way I'm commenting this on the mlmym thing you made!

Re: the rules on the side: "Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone."

Some instances have "alternate text" boxes that don't show up for everyone but allow screen readers to read it, but if not, just put it in the body. Or as a comment.

It's alternate text for people with visual impairments/screen readers.

I wrote it.

 

A group of four female athletes are in various states of repose after completing a relay event at the Olympics. Three are looking toward the upper right at something offscreen; the woman on the left has anxious tears in her eyes. The fourth young woman is facing the woman on the left who is crying and comforting her. All are wearing orange racing tank tops and blue athletic shorts. They all have long hair that is either partially up and braided or completely braided.

 
 
 
 

[This is a close-up photo of two Japanese Waxwing birds perched on the bare branches of a Rowan tree that has no leaves. Only sparse clumps of bright red berries are on the branches. The bird on the bottom branch has a red berry in its beak and the bird on the higher branch is looking down at a clump of berries to its lower left. The birds and berries are in very sharp focus in the foreground. The background is blurred out, which makes the birds and berries look like they are isolated on a canvas. The background is a very light tan color which makes the berries and birds stand out more.]
