I work in logistics planning at a glass company.

Thankfully, I've never had a driver fatality or MVI, but I have heard many a piece of glass shatter on concrete.

Found out I've lost some more work.

I am so so SO glad I have like 5/6 copies/backups because jfc I refuse to lose work again.

Some has definitely been lost. But thankfully not a lot. Maybe 500 words

I still haven't brought myself to rewrite the 20k + I lost 10 years ago.

But I have to one day.

I'm seeing so many more posts with images without ALT text and I just want to shake folks.

I get that sometimes it slips or sometimes the spoons aren't there, but all the time? Every single image y'all post? C'mon.

Stop being inaccessible!
Use ALT text!
