PS: The amount of text space available in the ALT text window is several times longer than what's available in the standard text field, so even long text passages can be pasted there. If you run out of space, break up the screenshot; it's probably too long at that point for just one post anyway.

1. Alt text is always a kindness and also extends the audience for what you want to present.
2. Screenshot the material, then go to the original and copy the text with your cursor, post the screenshot, then paste the text into the ALT field. Super-simple and takes only a couple of seconds.

Genuine question regarding alt-text, as I 100% agree with you that it's important. I share daily screenshots of posts written by someone on another platform because they are too long to type and post here. Is alt-text necessary in that instance, and if so, how would I add it due to the post length?

If you're non-disabled and are furious about recent ableist comments, one material thing you can do is ask disabled and chronically ill people in your life if they need help with anything. They may say no and respect that, but we live in an ableist society where asking for help is hard.

You know what really unhelpful alt text is? "a screenshot of a tweet from [person]". Helpful is including the text of the tweet.

Your occasional reminder, if you needed one, that RFK Jr can fuck himself gently with a cetacean-laden chainsaw
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.
