If you're wondering whether I said something in earnest, I DID. Minneapolis antifascist & abolitionist. Parent, neighbor, queer. He/him. Fuck the police. Angrily spreading joy.

Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.

Thank you.
Six panel, cartoon-style graphic titled, why use alt-text? First panel: slow internet. Next to a line drawing of a cell phone showing a social media post with an image, where the alt-text is visible while the image is unavailable. Text reads: Alt-text is shown in place of unloaded images. Second panel: Findability. A line drawing of the top of a phone, showing the search bar, reading "dog with banana". The text above it reads, alt-text helps to search content. Third panel: screen readers. In lieu of the image, a blank square with alt-text shows up; the text above the box reads: Alt-text is read out to people using text-to-speech software. Fourth panel: translation. There's a line drawing of a cell phone, showing the Google translate box, reading "English to Deutsch". The text above reads: Alt-text can be translated. Fifth panel: readability. There's a line drawing showing very poor writing inside a dialogue bubble; next to it the clarifying text "a character says 'hello, guys'" The text above the drawing reads, Text in images can be made legible. Sixth panel: disambiguation. The line drawing of the phone again, showing part of an image that, depending on how you look at it, seems to be either a bunny or a duck. The clarifying text reads, "my pet bunny". Above this, the text: description helps clarify intent. Credit: Dremenec 2024 An infographic titled “Writing Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Source: veroniiiica.com Credit: Puzzle

But if you don't have anything to give and you're feeling guilty, stop. Giving is not what makes a community. Love is a community, giving and receiving, and we help when we can and we are still worthy of love and community when we can't.

Also, as always, if you have money, donate it directly. It goes further than if you go buy the donations yourself, but if you have stuff to get rid of make sure it's of a quality you would give a friend. If you have time, that's valuable too.
