You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Alt text must provide context for people who cannot see the image. Describe the image's context and purpose. Do not write alt text for cute or clever jokes based on visual content you expect users can see. This is an abuse of alt text, as it violates the whole point of alt text.

You don't necessarily want to use the exact same alt text each time a specific image is used. Alt text must consider the context of the image and why it's being included on a site, post, article, etc. In other words, alt text depends on where you're including the image and why.

I'm looking to brush up on my alt text skills, but I'm having trouble finding any of the guides that were circulating on here a while back Anyone got links handy?

#TavQotD How stealthy is your Tav/Durge? Reasonably. If I recall correctly, Ria only has half proficiency, but she has a decent dexterity score and a lot of practice holding to shadows. She prefers to rely on a confident walk in a costume when she needs to move unchallenged, though. Or magic.

it’s trans day of remembrance, and once again i am asking people to give a shit about trans people *before* they’re dead

#TavQOTD How well would your Tav/Durge do in a Jurassic Park movie? Ria is absolutely 1000% on "I Told You So." Sadly, she's got noodle arms. If she can keep her magic, she'll be fine— I imagine dinosaurs have shitty wisdom saves— but if it's just about running? Yikes

when will we be able to save drafts on this site. or queue posts. i wanna do a thing

#TAVEMBER #TavQotD What makes your Tav/Durge weak? What makes them ‘weak in the knees’? Ria is deeply, deeply afraid. I mean, she also has a strength of 8, but she is so very aware of her own mortality, and it freezes her sometimes, especially in act 1.

#TAVEMBER #TavQOTD Day#19: Motivation First, Ria just wants to get the tadpole out of her head. When she realizes she has real power now, she sets out to give people what protection she can. She wants to know how much of a difference she can make, then do it.

#TAVQOTD What was your companions' reaction to finding out your tav/durge was in love? How soon did they know? Did your tav/durge confess it to any of them before confessing to their LI? Ria did not appreciate the companions' color commentary, judgement, curiosity, or well-meaning advice. 🧵

#tavqotd How did the tadpole affect your Tav/Durge's abilities? from a game perspective it resets the characters back to level 1. But how did that manifest in their abilities? Ria had a maximum of 3 levels before getting kidnapped, so it wasn't much of an adjustment. She's JUST A NORMAL PERSON

#tavqotd Show the duality of your tav/durge? How do they balance their duality? archiveofourown.org/works/567991... Ria is a bard— she loves stories and jokes and people. She can also pluck their insecurities like her lyre strings to sometimes lethal effect.

#tavqotd What's Tara's opinion of your tav/durge? This is open to all Hari bonds with Tara by getting her fresh fish at the end of her morning runs and by virtue of having stopped Gale going boom. This goes a long way toward getting Tara past Hari liking The Beard

This joke has lived rent-free in my head for a year www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-DB... #bg3

#TavQOTD What would it take for your creations to become monsters? Ria works *really hard* at preserving people's bodily autonomy while she's fighting them. She barely used Crown of Madness, she didn't make a habit of casting Dominate Person... But it truly requires as much effort as she can spare.

#TavQotD how did your Tav/Durge respond to meeting Boo? (And Minsc, I guess :P ) Ria made a theatrical bow upon introduction to Boo. She'd heard stories of the Ranger and his hamster. They lived up to the legend... and then she heard Minsc talk, realized he doesn't like liars, and got. Concerned.

it is once again time for Elegy Likes Plain Crisps: the fic archiveofourown.org/works/58797052

#TavQotD Minthara has been asked her opinion on your Tav/Durge. What is her (incisive and probably critical, lbh) judgement?

mod that makes gale and astarion put a gold in the jar every time they say "think about it"

Brave strong little Wolfkiller🩸🐾 #iwtv #tvl

#TavQOTD How does your Tav/Durge love? Ria is a private person with feelings that run *deep.* This is not to say that she cannot be demonstrative, especially with a partner (Astarion 💜) who brings out her sense of fun. But her love comes in the full weight of her focus and the sharing of her quiet.

I am going to say this only once but fuck these white racists. Fuck them to hell.

Ria would sing to them. The Dark Urge would make their wisdom saves with bardic inspiration attached as she tries to lull them, and maybe even to use gentler charm spells to keep them both safe.

Tav ONLY #TavQotD: Your Tav is a companion, and the Dark Urge confessed to them that they had uncontrollable, violent thoughts: how would they respond? For plot reasons, NO COMPANION can identify what is going on or grasp the full scope of the problem.

#TavQOTD learning of the Dark Urge's bloodlust Thank you for reminding me of the time I did something similar to this prompt Answer's the same, so see below

#tavqotd What makes your Tav/Durge to lose sleep? It's hard to exhaust an elf, but Ria will keep herself up trying to make contingencies for her contingency plans... or noodling on a song for too long, although that's more likely to attract attention that will help her put it down by bedtime

#TAVEMBER #TavQOTD What is your Tav/Durge’s nature? I had Karlach describe Ria as a "twisty, silver-tongued fucker" for a reason. She is not soft. Sometimes she's not *nice.* She's deeply guarded and pragmatic, but with a desire to do good and a strong moral compass in there.

#TAVEMBER #TavQOTD How does your Tav/Durge feel about PDA? Ria's not opposed, although Astarion should keep his hands to neutral ground. She will stop for a kiss out in the street if the mood takes her, and they hold hands frequently post-Caszador

#TavQotD #BG3FirstsWeek Oh dang! well, it's the end of the week, so we'll call this part day 2 and part day 7 (far from Ria's first battle, but definitely the most frightened she's been) In Which Ketheric Thorm Scares the Bejeezus Out of Ria archiveofourown.org/works/567991...

#TavQOTD What is your Tav's/Durge's favorite soup? Ria loves a fragrant fungus stew or really any mushroom-heavy soup. Tastes like home.

#TavQOTD Does your Tav/Durge like snow? No! Ria does NOT! For 90 years, she didn't have to deal with it, and then winters were cold and wet and awful and she had to trudge through the stuff if work dried up where she was. And the reflected glare is AWFUL for a drow. AND her ears are frozen.

#TAVEMBER #TavQotD Day#15: Politics As a Drow, Ria is in a rough position. The Underdark's political climate is a very literal bloody mess. She ran from a civil war. On the surface, she's got one part 'whatever leaders will be the least awful to me,' one part 'wants to believe the best of people' +

#TavQOTD Does your Tav/Durge have a sweet tooth? If so, what's their go-to sweet? Ria doesn't have much of a sweet tooth— she finds a lot of surface sweets far too sugary— but she likes honey in her tea and the sweeter varieties of wine on the rare occasion she drinks Also fruit. Fruit is good.

#TAVEMBER #TavQotD What is a trade your Tav/Durge practices? Ria is a musician and has dipped into sex work on occasion. Her skills with people were enormously helpful in keeping herself and her party safe.

#TavQotD How did your Resist!Durge respond when Jaheira asked them if they planned to have kids? (write your own dialogue! Go nuts!) If Jaheira had asked, directly "Do you want kids?" Echo's response would have been to tilt their head, squint, and ask "Like.. for lunch?"

tbt to doing a conlang alphabet special studies because college is ridiculous and wonderful

#tavqotd What did your Tav/Durge give up for something, someone, or a feeling? Do they regret it, or was it the best choice of their lives? Ria exchanged her career as a bard and the chance of becoming a famous musician for leading the spawn community with Astarion. She still fantasizes—

i really miss being in an in-person classroom teaching but holy FUCK i do not miss having to be tactful about t////aylor swi///ft

When the moon hits your eye Like a big pizza pie, that's amore #wolfheart #connieheart

#TAVEMBER #TavQOTD What is your Tav/Durge’s vice? ...Lying, arguably. Ria reaches for it as a simple solution— not compulsively, but out of habit. Ria's trying to try other options more often. For other people to help, they'd have to be able to catch her at it with any consistency.

#TAVEMBER #TavQotD Is your Tav/Durge sociable? Do they enjoy talking to people? Making friends? Ria genuinely loves people. She talks to everyone who will talk back as long as the situation allows it. This doesn't mean she bonds especially quickly, but she's certainly friendly with many people

the MGM robin hood people like "Where is Eleanor* of Aquitaine* from again?" "Idk? Normandy?" *shoutout to @/iodhadh who will point out that it's correctly Alienòr d’Aquitània, but i'm not giving MGM that much credit

#TavQOTD What’s something about your Tav/Durge that totally belies their actual personality? Yes, Ria's a bard, but every time she pulls the finger-guns-and-horrible-pun routine, it surprises people who mostly know her from 'talking several people to death'

#tavqotd What are some of the things your tav loved to do growing up? Ria liked: playing pretend as her favorite figures from legend, telling stories, making up nonsense songs, playing hide and seek, doing shadow puppets— she leaned HARD into imaginative play as a child

#TavQotD Does your OC prefer to wear pants or skirts/dresses? Ria loves a good skirt/dress. She was very happy when she got her hands on the potent robe and performed a few twirls for effect.

#tavqotd Who is allowed to see the raw and vulnerable side of your Tav/Durge? Ria keeps her walls up around everyone as much as she can, but if it has to come down, she'd prefer her only audience to be Shadowheart and Astarion, since they already know her best.
