Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

Still so excited for everyone who showed up to this yesterday! It was stunning to see a sea of creatives overwhelm that tiny hearing. We had an overflow room of artists and the line for 30 second public commentary literally had to be cut off!
You made a huge difference

Thank you!

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

I’m not trans, but I have many trans friends and any time I hear someone say that they don’t “support it”, I tell them to fuck off.
Allowing them to do this also allows them to do it to any group they want.

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

As a US journalist, it is notable that the most accurate headline in this collection is by the non-US Guardian. Which is owned by a trust, not a billionaire.
