Tens and hundreds of thousands of Georgians don’t sleep for almost two weeks, stay out in cold, often get immersed in water cannons and gas under cold, then go to work every day to get the little income they have, and then again to the rallies.
It’s a lot of personal sacrifice.

It's getting boiling hot in Georgia. As Titushky (regime thugs) beat people and the patrol police ignores the citizens, people began arguing with the patrol police to hand over weapons to them if they cannot defend the citizens themselves. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Protests continue day and night through out Georgia, people have not lost momentum despite the extremely violent pro-Russia repression which has left hundreds injured or arrested. #georgiaprotests

This is a good thread about how to write effective alt text for your posts!
#AccessibilityTips #AltText #A11y
#AccessibilityTips #AltText #A11y
Alt text needs to convey what is in the image but how flowery or detailed should you be?
Generally, the description needs to match the importance of the image. If the focus of the post is the image, give it a detailed description. If it's just decorative, write that.

Accessibility tip: capitalise each word in your hashtags, #LikeThis! This helps visually impaired users, whose assistive technologies will be better able to announce the hashtags as distinct words. And it helps with readability for sighted users, too! #AccessibilityTips #MakeTheWorldAccessible
To all the awesome people using #AltText on their images, I love you. You make me feel included. Thanks.
One other quick tip. capitalize the first letter of each word in your hashtags.

Dude this is amazing! Makes me want to build something for Bluesky now
You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋
