So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

so we're just not gonna have a national conversation about how Boeing killed one of their own employees to keep him from talking to the press

like we're really not gonna address the fact that he died of a "self inflicted head wound" literal hours after Boeings lawyers asked him to stay an extra day. We're not gonna speak on the fact that he told his family "if I die, it wasn't suicide " before he went to go testify. None of it huh

Oh? You haven't heard? I'm not surprised with how hard the media are parrying it

THAT TOO. LMFAOOO

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

I feel like a lot of people just don't know how to do it or are intimidated by the prospect. I was too, actually, and I couldn't find any good guides on how to do it (beyond basic formatting) and most guides boiled down to "just describe what you see and important details!" I really wanted to add alt text bc accessibility is important to me, but I would always get kinda stumped on how to do it.

But then I saw this image, I think in a discord server, and I immediately started doing it. It kinda broke the ice for me

Oh my goodness thank you!!

Something also worth keeping in mind with alt text is the intent of the image. You don't (and probably usually shouldn't) necessarily need to include every fine detail of the image if it isn't pertinent to the intent.

Also don't include things like "image of..." Assistive tech will convey that it's an image already.

I've been trying to add alt text. I started on bluesky, which has an optional setting that refuses to post until you add alt text. I find it incredibly intimidating, and I have made the choice to not post things because the alt text feels like such a hurdle to me. (Not an excuse. But if your brain is spicy in the same direction as mine, I get it.)

But this is a great common sense guide, and I immediately saved it on my desktop for reference.
