For anyone worried they might forget to add alt text, Bluesky has a setting that will remind you to add alt text before posting any images.

Go to "Settings," then "Accessibility." Select the checkbox for "Require alt text before posting."

At the top, white text reads: “DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship Applications Now Open.” Below, a yellow box with black text says: “Seeking Disabled Mentees and Dedicated Mentors to Champion Inclusion in STEM.” At the bottom, white text states: “Applications due December 5th.” In the lower right corner, there is the DisabledInSTEM logo.

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

Disability doesn’t mean someone can’t—it just means they might do it differently. Disabled people live full, creative, capable lives every day. It’s time to stop underestimating and start including.

Accessibility tip: make sure to add alt text when you post images! Alt text helps people who use screen readers understand the image and any context the image may give to non-image content!

⚠️ DOE wants to cut its Section 504 rule—putting access in federally funded buildings for disabled people at risk.

Access is a right. Every building, program & community must be accessible.

Submit a comment by June 16. More info in this post + at dredf.org/action-alert...

Title text reads “DOE Wants to Remove Disability Protections.” Subtitle: “A dangerous proposal could roll back disability rights in federally funded buildings. Here’s what you need to know!” Background shows a construction site with cranes and scaffolding at sunset. A large yellow warning icon and a logo for the Center for Racial & Disability Justice appear in the bottom corners.

Sharing a screenshot of a social media post? Some ways you could write the alt text:

"Screenshot of Bluesky post from Luke Skywalker, on June 6, saying: 'The force be with you, always.'"

"Threads post from Fox Mulder, on June 6th. The post says: 'The truth is out there.'"
