Remember kids, writing hashtags with every first letter of a word as a capital letter makes things easier for people who use screen readers. That's because then, it reads them as separated words. ThisIsAnExample of how to do it.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

If you were one of the millions of people at No Kings who has a subscription to the NYT that diminishes your number to thousands. Now would be a good time to cancel your subscription

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

There are a lot of important posts quoting images of government officials saying horrid things, but they don't have ALT text. C'mon folks, it's easy when you're posting a screencapped tweet; just copy and paste the text from the tweet itself!

Periodic reminder: use alt text on images, please!
