Here's a list of real nature photographers posting their own work, who make their images accessible with Alt Text. I love that Bluesky values actual people and not those image stealing accounts.
This is just to get you started, there are tons more great photographers here!

One of our Reading Champions organised an impromptu poetry session at lunchtime today but was slightly worried nobody would attend. Twenty excited KS1 children turned up. He read them all some poems and got them to join in. It went so well, he now wants to make it a weekly event.

I want a “reverse Costco” where you can buy small amounts of items you will rarely use again, like specialty ingredients.
Let me pay $1 for 1 oz of fish sauce. Yes, I can get much more for not that much more money but then I’ll feel guilty every time I see it in my fridge.

I can just remember red squirrels, a very early memory
But it was an isolated one pointed out by an adult
Hopefully they’re recovering in some parts of the North
Our infrastructure might need improvement
But at least some areas have red squirrels

Are these Yorkshire's rarest woodland creatures? Red squirrels bring joy - and hope for their future
Open the pages of Beatrix Potter’s Squirrel Nutkin and you’ll be greeted with charming images of one the writer’s most famous creation - resplendently red and bushy-tailed.

Trade deals require trade offs. Even if you pretend cakeism is possible, that didn't work out well for the Conservatives in agriculture areas.
So how will Labour make decisions that have winners and losers, such as with the EU, like youth mobility? www.politico.eu/article/brit...
