Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

One counterargument: without your current location, it can't send any weather alerts that immediately impact your safety.

The network sends those.

Because the cell towers are cemented in place.

Not that Florida's smart enough to limit Amber Alerts to relevant portions of the state. I'm down in the dick-tip. I've been rudely awoken by blaring alarms about a kidnapping up in the grundle.

I hope they send those alerts to people in Nashville, because they're all closer to Tallahassee than I am.
