If you watch Titanic in reverse it's about a sad lady floating on a door who idly fishes a cute boy out of the ocean and brings him onto a big fancy steamship that has conveniently sprouted up over by an iceberg, where they have steamy no-strings vacation sex until they split up because they each find new boyfriends on the ship they'd rather go to Europe with.

I grew up with food insecurity being a regular thing. Even though my wife and I are, fortunately, both doing reasonably well professionally and have no trouble affording or obtaining groceries, my wife has been very kind about my ingrained need to make sure our well-stocked pantry still contains the big packs of dried rice and dried beans I've been conditioned to always have on hand in case things get That Bad again.

Claudette:
He’s always bugging me about my house. Fifteen years ago, we agreed, that house belongs to me. Now the value of the house is going up and he’s seeing dollar signs. Everything goes wrong at once. Nobody wants to help me, and I’m dying.
Lisa:
You’re not dying, mom.
Claudette:
I got the results of the test back. I definitely have breast cancer.
Lisa:
Look, don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine. They’re curing lots of people every day.
Claudette:
I’m sure I’ll be alright.

Reminds me of when the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros 3 added thunder and lightning to the background of the Koopa airships. It may have been the coolest upgrade to the whole vibe of that game.

![Photo of a US passport and a passport cover custom-printed with the cover art from the original US edition of the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Said art features a hand giving the universal thumb gesture for hitching a ride while a green planet makes a silly face against a backdrop of space. (Douglas Adams and many fans dislike this version of the cover, but it was on the first copy of the story I had as a kid and I'll always have great fondness for it.)](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F8cbaf935-70d2-4e3f-9ee7-460fcf580c68.jpeg) ![The passport in its Hitchhiker's Guide cover.](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fffe7eae5-5248-4db4-9d6c-f1de97ff1912.jpeg) I got a new passport and learned you can get any image you want printed onto a passport holder, and this had to happen. I briefly considered making some original cover art based on how the Guide itself is described in the story, but I then thought about all the reasons not to pull out something that says "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters in view of some jittery border guard who may not get the literary reference.

![Image is a popular four-panel meme featuring Gru from "Despicable Me" showing off his evil plan on a large pad. In this version Gru is wearing a lapel pin of the Lemmy.world logo. Frame one: the pad says "The Fediverse is taking social media back from corporate control and proprietary walled gardens." Gru looks proud. Frame 2: the pad says "Operate a big and successful Lemmy server, opening a path to the free and open Fediverse for everyone." Gru looks happy. Frame 3: the pad says "Put the official moderator-organizing and admin-contact method on a proprietary walled-garden Discord server." Gru looks sneaky. Frame 4: the pad is the same. Gru notices what it says and looks unpleasantly surprised. The logo pin on his jacket has rotated upside-down.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1f194a75-444b-4530-9727-68e0a88a9b15.jpeg) Regarding https://lemmy.world/post/2809416
Hi, all! I'm posting to Lemmy from desktop, and I'm having trouble finding where one adds an [image description](https://joinfediverse.wiki/Best_practices/en#Accessibility) (commonly known as a "caption" or "alt text") for accessibility when making an image post. Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
