I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but:
Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun.
Also, please credit artists in a post.
I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included.
Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
