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 Twitter) with:

Yup. In Greek mythology the underworld is split into different parts. There's a part where heroes go, a part where average people wander around for eternity, Tartarus where the titans are held and then there's a part where people are published. I think Sisyphus is punished in the underworld but I could be misremembering.

Edit: punished not published.

So like...if you're an amateur writer in life, after death there's still hope to go pro?

Hadn't even noticed the autocorrect fuck up. Thanks, going to leave it for your joke to work.

If anyone would like a proper education on the levels of Hades, play Hades!

It was actually the Rick Riordan books that I learnt that from.
