A corollary to this earlier post about the accessibility of wall-of-text images:
If you’re re-posting an ask to make it rebloggable, here are ways to make it more accessible:
Post it as text instead of an image. The blockquote tag is quite wonderful for that purpose…not to mention, designed for this sort of thing by definition. This is my favorite way of doing it, by far, because…...

Yeah I noticed that the Sims 3 appears to be basically the parenting narrative in video game form. It’s kind of creepy.
I never actually thought about it in those terms before, but it totally is.
Including parents’ wishes to “be a grandparent” and “see [child] become a doctor.” That sounds...
