First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

In a country full of way too many bootlickers who are only too happy to take a knee to an authoritarian… be a JB Pritzker. Stand up to tyranny. Protect the marginalized, the disabled, the immigrants and the LGBTQ+ communities. Hold the line and refuse to give in.

When writing alt text, ask yourself if you would picture an approximation of the image if it was described to you over the phone using the alt text you've written. Doing that exercise can be a good way to determine if you're on the right track.

It's been 8 years since the iconic moment Tom Holland lip-synced "Umbrella" by Rihanna for Zendaya. 🎥

Not all disabled people can boycott Amazon. Many are housebound with no other affordable or accessible delivery options. Be kind. We all resist in whatever way we can. If you want to help, offer to deliver goods to someone. Or take them shopping. Build networks of community care.

Holly Tuke uses screen readers on different devices every day. She says she consistently finds the same errors: unlabelled links and buttons, inaccessible web forms, and no heading structure. Here's her advice for developers. business.scope.org.uk/article/mess...

A message to web developers, from a screen reader user - Scope for business

The accessibility of a website is always the first thing I notice. It’s hard not to, as I rely on a screen reader to do everything online.

Many are struggling, but for those lucky enough to have extra, if you could spare even a few dollars for @blindkindness.bsky.social it would mean the world. Thank you.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, we’ve learned that many women felt they didn’t know what was normal during a visit, or didn’t know what they could do to speak up. We created this guide to help fill this gap. 👇

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here. For those of you who forget: Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text. Thanks 🙏😎

Everybody saying the culture at Bluesky is so awesome should try to be part of that culture by going into their options and making alt text mandatory. Being inclusive and thinking of others is the Bluesky culture, so alt text is a big thing. Really disappointed with that change in my feed lately.

PSA for newbies: Please include ALT text on your images. This is an inclusive space for blind and visually impaired people. Don't arrive late to the party and ignore a bunch of people. Also, please share this skeet, rather than liking it, to ensure the message gets delivered. Thanks!

If I don’t know WHY a task is important, motivation is impossible to find.

I’m not really big on posting, I’d rather read what others have to say. But the recommendation is to post SOMETHING, so this is that.
