answer in a way that makes you comfortable, but in the spirit of public appreciation, please also consider letting the authors know your thoughts and don‘t forget to use alt text on pictures and link to the work you‘re referencing :)

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

So when you upload a photo there's a little Alt button on it in the top left. Click on that (it's also had me do it if I click the pic in general) and it will give you a text box.

I like this image for the 'what to say'. Your goal is to add the context you would want if you couldn't see the image.

2. Feeds are super fun to join when you want to see stuff about certain topics like frogs or scicomm or weather

3. Starter packs are awesome if you find someone whose jib you like the cut of and wish to find people THEY like. Some streamers made starter packs of their communities, for example

Newsky Bluesky tips by me, figmentpudding;

1. Use alt text, it can take a little time but just imagine your bestie is sitting with their eyes closed and you're explaining a picture to them like a little ASMR meditation, because you care about them and want them to thrive <3

On videos and gifs too

For new BlueSky users, please consider flipping the toggle to require Alt Text on all photos that you post. I did it when I started here and it did not take long to get used to it.

It helps to make this community more inclusive.
