- If you're struggling to write alt text, think of how you would describe a picture to a friend over the phone.
- Progress over perfection: Just try!

These are things I've learned through various virtual webinars on digital accessibility that I've professionally attended.

Y'know I don't mind putting the occasional joke in the alt text, but only AFTER an actual description of the image in question.

Priorities, people!

PPS - if you truly have issues composing your own alt text due to disability, there is a group of volunteers here who can help. Just use the # alt4me hashtag in your post. Someone will add the text in a reply. But don't do this is you're just lazy.

So to sum up
1) use alt text (you can turn on "require alt text" in Accessibility)
2) keep it brief and to the point
3) Be kind, be inclusive

A good way to think of it: How would you describe your art over the phone if you were in a hurry

Alt text does not need to be hard to write. You do not have to write paragraphs. In fact, in most cases you probably shouldn't. People using screen readers are not likely to want to have to listen to a 3 minute alt text of you describing your cat.
