Today is Global Accessibility Awareness day (GAAD)! It's a really good opportunity to learn more about accessibility, and to celebrate the great progress in the space. We're off to the Google Accessibility Discovery Centre, and I can't wait!

Disabled people can be a valuable resource to prepare for what’s coming.

We’re used to fighting for survival. We excel at emergency preparedness and contingency planning. We know what it’s like to try and survive an oppressive system that sees you as “better off dead”.

We were built to resist.

4. How to add AltText on BlueSky? 

BlueSky has an option to add these image descriptions through AltText. For doing so, when you upload an image to this platform, you get an option to add the AltText at the top left corner. Once you click on this you can add a thousand character description. /6

You can also require alt text for all images you share.

I do, and can't post an image without alt text.

bsky.app/profile/bhav... has more details.
5. What if I forget to add #AltText? 

To ensure that you don't forget to add image descriptions, you can go to the settings and turn on the 'require alt text on images' feature, which will remind you before posting an image and ensure that all have descriptions. /7

If you're not familiar with Alt Text, there's a great primer thread here on what it is & why it's important: bsky.app/profile/bhav...

To help you remember alt text for your posts, you can go to your Bsky Settings > Accessibility > Check the box for "Require alt text before posting"
Let's start with the basics! 

1.What is #AltText? 

AltText is a way of adding image descriptions to images so that blind/visually impaired people, people with vision issues/low vision and people who use screen readers can view the content and be part of conversations. /1

Good morning, #crpdamselflies! Before we get started with prompts later today, you should know that images without Alt Text will not appear in our feed.

Please remember to add image descriptions to all graphics. Thanks! 😊
