It’s getting closer to holiday sales and shopping. Instead of spending money at a big box store or putting money in a billionaires pocket… shop small!!

If you have a small business or are a small time creator (that means artists and indie authors too!) share your links/work below.

This includes not using alt text for extra OC lore, art credits, titles of artwork, and so on! It should describe the image, that’s it.

All the rest of the info can go in the normal post text and/or replies ☺️
a11yawareness.bsky.social Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 1d
First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

For this month's panel for our Patreon backers $7/month and higher, we're taking on a heavy topic relevant to much of the world at this moment: making non-conformist art under authoritarianism. Become a backer and join the conversation! www.patreon.com/cw/duckprint...
A simple graphic featuring clipart of a pair of arms breaking the chain on the handcuffs they wear. Text reads: Making Non-Conformist Art Under Authoritarianism. a Duck Prints Press panel. Sunday, November 30 2 p.m. ET. join patreon.com/duckprintspress for exclusive access. Graphic with text that reads, "Description: Authoritarian regimes throughout history have sought to eliminate dissent in part by eliminating non-conformist art, while subverting what art they permit to be created to serve their dominant narratives. As much of the world makes a turn toward hard-right fascistic authoritarianism, many creators grapple with the stress, fear, and danger of living and creating despite threats to their livelihoods and very lives. In this panel, we’ll have a candid discussion of how others have faced these threats in the past and how we are doing so in our day-to-day lives. We will discuss both the risks and necessity of continuing to make art by and about people – queer, POC, gender-diverse, disabled, neurodiverse, etc. – whose voices authoritarian governments seek to suppress."

The quote reads: "It was then that Talita understood her part in this: she had demonstrated magical aptitude from an early age and her father believed that she would be the solution for their problem. The responsibility made her stomach turn."
