Alt Text Challenge for Disability Justice!

I challenge you to:

1) Subscribe to @baatl.mastod.one to see how much of bsky is inaccessible.

2) Ask someone you follow who doesn’t use alt text to start doing so.

3) Ensure you can’t forget alt text: bsky settings > accessibility > require alt text.

Infographic entitled, “Why do I need alt text?”

1) Having it is non-negotiable
Alt text is a minimum accessibility standard for websites, social media, and emails. Having it on all necessary images ensure that all users, regardless of visual ability, can access the content on your site.

2) Context and Information
Using alt text ensures that no context or necessary information is lost for those using screen readers, or if an image cannot loaded for any reason.

3) Search Results
Search engines use alt text when scanning pages to deliver better results for those looking for information on your site.

“How To Write Alt Text” infographic featuring a photo of a capybara.

Writing Alt Text: identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features.

In the image, these elements are color-coded and assembled into an example that describes the depicted capybara. The example reads, “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Infographic entitled, “alt text 101 for artists” by @mibyledraws and Art featuring a typewriter sprouting flowers.

write what is relevant to give the user an accurate idea of your artwork:
• the medium used
• the subject of the artwork
• anything that is relevant for understanding the meaning of the artwork
• write sentences. don't just throw away keywords

The pressure put on the BTS members by some people to be leaders, politicians, protesters, world improvers, rebels, providers of happiness, and fulfillers of dreams is insane. They are musicians. It's like... do you hold yourself to the same unreachable standards?

I know it's already been said, but thank you to the users of BlueSky for being so accepting and kind about the fact that a bunch of BTS ARMY have descended onto your app 😅 This place has been so welcoming and peaceful.

We need to repay the GP in kind by not spamming unrelated posts with BTS 💜

Just a reminder to BTS ARMY that respecting BTS' privacy is a huge part of ARMY Etiquette. We don't share pics/videos that are not from official sources.

ARMY Etiquette

Army Basics 1) Love & support all 7. If you can't do this, you aren't ARMY. Having a bias or bias line is fine as long as you love all 7 and support them equally. (bias/bias line = member/members you...
