Libraries and museums are integral to scientific advancement and to our core mission of #scienceforall. Stand Up for Science stands with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social!

Please call your representatives and let them know you STRONGLY oppose this attack on access to knowledge.

thank you to everyone adding ALT text to your images. It ensures that your posts are #accessible.

Bluesky has a setting that will remind you to include text when you're posting an image. Go to Settings / Accessibility, and check the box next to "Require alt text before posting."
I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)
