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.

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

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! 😊

Periodic reminder to use alt text on your images, friends. It helps people with visual impairments as well as anyone else who can't view images for whatever reason (and there are more reasons that might happen than you may realize).
