Alt text isn't just helpful for the sight-impaired. By reading alt text I can identify what the OP is calling attention to in the pic, helping me get the joke or social commentary that would otherwise be illegible to me. (Without this I'm like, I see a thousand details and I don't know which one matters to you.) #ActuallyAutistic
@independentpen Yes!
I write what I think I'm looking at when I #caption#pictures, but it's not the picture but words about the picture.
(Also I don't do it properly, giving the who what where.)
It's fun, and another way to express myself, but doesn't convey what the picture would, rather a completely separate thing. Hopefully worth it.

A screen capture of a Twitter post by Mike Pence
President Trump and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to reject electoral votes and chaos would have ensued. To keep faith with the oath that I made to the American people and to Almighty God, I did my duty that
day.
The video included is from Fox News with a text showing:
JOHN EASTMAN EMAIL TO PENCE LEGAL TEAM
...investigations, as well as to allow a full forensic audit of the massive amount of illegal activity that has occurred here." (The play button obscures part of "of illegal" and "occurred" in the banner).
It is shown as an excerpt from TRUMP INDICTMENT

Het was goed om vandaag op bezoek te zijn bij Surf. Deze innovatieve instelling houdt zich onder meer bezig met waardegedreven digitalisering.
Een onderwerp dat helemaal aansluit bij mijn werkagenda digitalisering. We willen graag onze samenwerking intensiveren op het gebied van AI en het creëren van alternatieven voor cloudoplossingen en social media
@avhuffelen Dank voor je toot met foto. Tip voor het vergroten van de toegankelijkheid van je berichten: voeg een tekst toe aan de foto met een beschrijving. In je Mastodon client vind je daar een speciale "knop" voor. Op Mastodon wordt dat zeer gewaardeerd. #alttext#caption#accessibility
How do you like your columns, sir?
