for Halloween, I am an Angst with a Happy Ending writer! (scary, right? 😈)

[image: a white enby (me) with glasses, a long red ponytail, and a blue pen stuck behind their ear. they are sitting on a brown sofa with a laptop on their knees, holding a camera-aware calico cat (Thea) in their lap so she doesn't sit on the keyboard, and they have a coffee mug in their other hand. they're wearing black lounge pants, a black cardigan, and a black tee that quotes in white the title of Seanan McGuire's song "My Story Is Not Done". also black and silver dangly earrings, a silvery owl pendant on a black cord, and on a silver chain a heart-shaped blue pendant with concentric dots to evoke the nazar amulet: 🧿, a protective charm against the evil eye.]

Re the image description, is it common/recommended practice to specify details that aren't actually visible in the image itself, like the ponytail and the pants?

[alexseanchai]

I mean if I weren't doing the image description I'd be grumping about those details not showing, so

[pauamma]

Fair enough. Thanks. (Also, in hindsight, my question may have sounded accusating.)

Lovely! Especially appreciate the helpful emoji supplement to the nazar description.

The sad thing, though, is I don't see the picture. (I've had this happen a couple times, and I needed to explicitly set the DW security to public, even though that's my default.)

Augh, thought I'd done that. Better?

Better!

The cat is clearly wanting More Attention.
