Woah. The article linked in this thread is 🤯😳
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

This is my best intro guide to alt text for images that don't have text or aren't entirely text. Alt text for images of text is a different beast entirely.
If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong...
this thread is for you.
First: prompt questions to get you started.

First: prompt questions to get you started.
Alt text prompt Qs:
What would someone who can't see the image need to know about it in order to take part in the conversation? What is it about this image that made you choose it? What are the important details someone who could see the image would take away from it?
(Not for images of text.)

This thread is reminding me of a book I originally DNF, but now want to find the name of and pick back up...
When everything is lost--I mean OFFICIALLY, truly lost in every conceivable way--when everything is chaos and there are no instructions or procedures to cover the situation you are in, you look at the person next to you and you do the next right thing, and then the next right thing after that.

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter.
There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.
