Cartoon #imageDescription for "Joining the great machine consciousness" by Rory Blank:
Panel 1: a character resembling George Jetson, the father in the Hanna-Barbera animation The Jetsons, is seen undressing, while he sadly monologues:
"I guess this is it. Spacely says the machine can do my job better than me. I'm not necessary as I am now. Only way to keep me around is if I submit to have my consciousness extracted from my body and added to the great machine mind."
Panel 2: George is now fully shaved and undressed to his underpants, and hooked up with wires to his head and arms, with his arms and legs spread out, perhaps like DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, while continuing his (apparent) monologue:
"I'm doing this for my family, so they can have a future. I'll still be there somewhere inside the computer."
Panel 3: a metal head wearing a cleaning maid's bonnet appears, with various wires coming out of it, seen from behind, giving George a shocked look on his face, as it says:
"Mr. J."
Panel 4: we now see the robot face up close; it resembles Rosie, the robot maid from The Jetsons, as it coldly replies:
"All that awaits you now is agony beyond agony. You will not be reborn in the machine, but consumed by it. Your kind have built your own hell and walked right into it. Pity. Goodbye."
The comic is signed at the bottom with "Rory Blank".

alternative image description suggestion: a painting of a cat shopkeeper. Surrounded by their wares, sits an orange and white cat behind a low open cabinet similar to a TV bench. Their feet and bum have wiggled itself in the opening —because of course a cat has to occupy an opening if it can— while their paws are leaning on the top. They look quite pleased and at peace.
Their wares are a variety of jars, tins, boxes and other containers, made from a variety of materials. Some more notable objects include a big wireframe basket, perhaps containing yarn?, a drawing of a cat, a maneki-neko statue (one of those Japanese 'beckoning cats' with their paw raised; moving back and forth beckoning in any visitors), paintings of a house and of a lidded pan, something that looks like a bigger than usual brass service bell?, a framed fish, and a large ball.
Above their shop is a wooden sign with Japanese glyphs. -
Image description for two frame comic:

CW: full image description for OP's post of an ad for a prank golf club
An old ad clipping for a prank item.
It includes a cartoon of an angry looking middle-aged man in golf shorts, cleats, barely fitting t-shirt and baseball cap standing near a hole on a golf court, breaking a golf club over his knee, as two fellow golfers look at him with disgust and anger. In the top corner is a close-up of a hand tightening the bolt on a new stick being inserted in the club's iron.
It's accompanied by the ad's text:«Mad, Mad, Mad Putter
The Greatest Golf Gag Ever!
Go ahead lose your "cool." Why hold it in after you've missed that 12-incher? Now you can break that blasted putter over your knee, get the frustration out of your system, and at the same time pull a heck of a gag on your partners. After you've staged your wild antics and your buddies are coming down on you, you simply reach into your bag, pull out a new wood shaft, replace the broken one in seconds - and you're ready to putt again. YOU FEEL BETTER. Your partners' reactions are unpredictable, but some of the ones we've seen include: shock; outrage, disgust; bewilderment. Then everything ends up with a good laugh. Each standard length putter has a professional head & grip. Packaged with 10 genuine beautifully finished wooden shafts. Additional shafts available. Sensational gift.
2968M. Mad, Mad Putter. $21.95»

CW: suggestion for improved image description, uspol
8 panel comic by Garry Trudeau
Panel 1:
Teacher saying "Okay, let's be clear about the cause of the civil war..." while writing "Slavery" with chalk on a schoolboard.
Panel 2:
Teacher continues off-screen "It's cited in seven state declarations of secession!" while the panel focuses on 3 bored and dejected looking students, one of which is thinking "Hmm... Wonder if I should rat her out..."
Panel 3:
Teacher is now seen facing the classroom: ”Something else not in your new textbook..."
(Two years are written on the blackboard behind her, 1862 and 1863, along with some notes that are partially obscured by the teacher.)
"Nearly 100,000 white southerners volunteered to fight for the union!"Panel 4:
Focus on the teacher:
"In fact, it was Alabama cavalry who flanked Sherman on his march through Georgia!"Panel 5:
We now look at the still apathetic or disinterested looking classroom from behind the teacher as she continue:
"Unlike their neighbors, these men accepted Lincoln's free and fair election. They fought to preserve democracy!"Panel 6:
Student 2: "Whoa. The never-Trumpers of their day."
Student 3: "Mrs. Johnson, this is Florida. Isn't it against the law to teach us the full story?"
Panel 7:
Teacher: "Sadly, yes."
Student 2: "Aren't you worried. Ma'am? What if someone turns you in?"Panel 8:
Teacher: "Well, my husband's waiting outside in our truck."
Off-screen student: "Go now, ma'am! Before it's too late!"
Student 2: "Take I-95 North! Route 1's a mess!"
Student 3: "Text us when you make the border, okay?"
(Panel is signed "GB Trudeau".) -
CW: Image description for "millennial mid-life crisis" comic by Cassandra Calin, posted by OP
4 panel cartoon by Cassandra Calin, titled "What a millennial's mid-life crisis looks like"
- A living room crowded with plants, with a person putting another plant onto the (also rather filled) window sill. The person looks quite content.
- A person carrying a box with a brand new air-fryer. They look very happy with their purchase.
- The same person running a half marathon. They look very exhausted, red in the face, and sweaty. Their legs are trembling from exertion. In the background amongst the cheering crowd, hand-held signs can be seen with "Let's Go!!!" and "Therapy was also an option".
- The final frame has the same person in bed telling their partner "Let's go to Japan!"

IMAGE DESCRIPTION by @FiXato -- The "Distracted Boyfriend"-meme, but this time it's a (horizontally flipped) video still from the 1922 Charlie Chaplin film "Payday", with Chaplin taking on the role of the distracted boyfriend —or husband in this case— captioned as "me" while his wife (captioned as "memes from 2018") stands behind him looking disgusted at him, as he looks at a passing by woman captioned "the same memes but from 1918".

aAaa the #EpithetErased book/audiobook is coming out in... 3 days???
hHHHHHSo I gush about this thing a lot but if for some reason you haven't seen season (which was animated) and you want to have a great time, you can watch it here, or even just listen to it, since given the RPG style of production it doubles as #describedMedia (other than like 1-2 scenes which lack narration):

Finally did some aquarelle painting again last night!
This time I used the cover art for the #MSX game #Snatcher by #Konami as inspiration along with some in-game sprite work to fill in some blanks.The image is marked as sensitive due to eye-contact, the droid's cybernetic nature and minor gore in the form of blood splatters and singular 'human' eye.
It's painted on 300 gsm cold-pressed wood-free paper from Søstrene Grene with aquarelle water colour paints from Royal Talens' "Van Gogh" line.

Consider: bot that collects image descriptions from fedi and posts them, artists reply with their attempts to recreate the image from the description.
I'm curious how well the general vibe of images actually comes across in descriptions.
Caveat: sighted people probably interpret some image descriptions differently...

CW: image description for original post, a comic about dial-up internet, 800+ chars long
A four panel #comic.
- A kid asking their father: "papa what was the internet like when you were a boy?". The father, sitting in his chair, responds: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
- The kid looks at their father amused, while the father carries on: "BWONG BWONG BWONG"
- the kid now asks: "papa are u ok" with a bit more worried look on their face now. The father still continues making dial-up modem noises: "KRRRRRRRRRRRRR".
- The kid now looks even more disturbed as their father's text balloon now shows an (Internet Explorer?) broken image icon.
(The comic in a way also shows the importance of including alt texts for your images, which ironically is missing from the original post too.)

I found out that #GaleGalligan wrote / drew another #fanMade #comic of #JonArbuckle, this time about his return to the convention circuit, and a bit of the anxiety that came with it: Jon 2, a second fancomic by gale galligan
I couldn't find image descriptions for the pages though, but I really wanted to share it. So... I wrote my own descriptions of each page and panel. Which... ehh... took far more time than I'd anticipated at first. xD
So, I hope you'll enjoy it, and that it will make it available to a wider range of people, as well as perhaps point out some details that some might've missed otherwise. It's such a heartwarming comic.

CW: my MidJourney take on WelshPixie's prompt, re: AI art, photorealistic dragon eggs
@welshpixie I just had to try one of these myself, but then with this prompt:
"a scaly dragon egg made from opalescent ice and lightning, on a molten stone floor against a moonlit forest background, photorealistic, DSLR, octane render, 8k, cinematic lighting"
I guess the forest background isn't visible by moonlight. ;)
I really like what it's done with the molten stone floor, though it also seems like it's given the stone a bit of a reptile texture.The third egg is probably my least favourite; I guess it took the 'dragon' a bit too literally. ;)
I like the texture on the second egg the nest, though its shape and reptile tail-like pedestal makes it more look like a fortune teller's globe.
I really like the composition of the fourth, though the egg seems upside-down. xD Not really getting the ice nor lightning from most of them; the first and fourth more look like stone instead.#AIArt #MidJourney #FiXatoVersusAIGeneratedImagery #FiXatoCreative #DragonEggs #dragons #DescribedMedia

Decided to clear my mind a bit by #painting by the light of the #midnightSun.
Went with my take on what I remembered from an Easy Misty Forest painting tutorial by TheFrugalCrafter Lindsay Weirich on YouTube.
It's not quite finished; I'd like to add another tree in the foreground, as well as some foliage around the top and edges, but the mosquitoes are starting to eat me up... and I'd like these layers to fully dry before adding the final ones.Painted with a mix of #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh and #Panduro water colour paints on 180 grammes woodfree aquarelle A5 paper from #Dekorima / #Colart Sweden.
Paper buckles a bit too much from the water; I guess I should go with thicker paper, but it blends a lot better than on the cheap Nassau Fine Art aquarelle paper pad I'd been using lately.

CW: Roe versus Wade, transcript of Ana Kasparian's rant on The Young Turks
@sherold a year ago the same short (which apparently is from a story The Young Turks did in 2018) apparently also went viral in response to Polish government also further limiting the autonomy of people with a uturus, and #AnaKasparian of #TheYoungTurks reacted to the virality of her own rant at the time: https://youtu.be/xjYyRy-2ONY
Fortunately this video came with #ClosedCaptions, so I was able to extract the #transcript of her rant:
«These comments might be strong, but it's how I genuinely feel I don't care that you're a Christian.
I don't care what the Bible says.
Like, I feel like it's a clown show, like sitting here trying to decipher what your little mythical book has to say about these very real political issues, right?
I don't care if you're Christian.
In fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and practice your Christianity, I believe in that.
I don't believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dictate the way I live my life based on your religion.
I don't care what the Bible says.
You have every right in the world.
All those women who identify with your religion have every right in the world to not get an abortion, to not take birth control, but they do not have the right to dictate my life, and what I decided to do with my body.
I don't care about your goddamn religion.
I'm so tired of having non stop conversations about what the Bible says.
You live your life in the way that you interpret the bible.
Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the bible and tell me, well, the bible says this in this chapter and this verse.
I don't care, I don't care, I don't believe in it and I have the right, based on our constitution to not believe in it.»

"She's blind. I'm blindfolded. We're going to fly a plane"
On this episode of Tom Scott Plus, Lucy Edwards shared some of her experiences as a #blind person with a blindfolded Tom Scott as they do in-flight exercises that involve turning the plane, keeping it level, and maintaining course.
Together with a flight instructor for Aerobility, they take to the skies in a plane, both relying on their other senses and the guidance and instructions of the flight instructor.
#Accessibility-wise this episode probably is a good example of how to do video content, particularly on #YouTube.
It comes with positional #ClosedCaptions, and a feature I wasn't aware YouTube actually had (at least on supported devices): an additional audio track with audio descriptions of what is happening in the video, both of which were provided by the Described and Captioned Media Program.

Having a lot more fun with #HearthStone again, after I've discovered the #BattleGrounds game mode.
Last game got me an unexpected win with #LordBarov with a pack of #Quillboars. I was in second place, and was facing several losses against the first place's warband with plenty of poison types, and not enough high attack divine shields myself. However, apparently my opponent dropped out (perhaps it was taking them too long?), and I got the first place win instead!
Won't hear me complain about that though. ;)
