Artists, quote with your faces 💫

Little mage, what have you gotten yourself into?

Sighted users often use bold or large fonts to create the appearance of headings in documents. People using screen readers have no way of understanding these visual cues. Use heading styles from the styles menu to correctly format headings.

It's been ONE MILLION YEARS since I've drawn my favourite guy!!!! And I finally got the chance to do so again by drawing him with my DCTTRPG character :] They like him so so so much they're willing to- Well, wait, I can't say that yet. Not in front of the rest of my party :) #Art #DCcomics

When publicly elected officials use their official social media accounts to share responses to current events, they often share an image of text. If these images do not include alt text, then people using screen readers have zero context and these people are left out.

Happy birthday, Mika!! Thank you for the art share!! Hello!! I'm Pie and I'm an Asexual and NB TTRPG and OC artist! I love to draw detailed illustrations and backgrounds.

Look, we're not sure if adding asbestos to our product is useful or helpful or something our customers are even interested in, but it's a competitive industry and we have to be willing to adopt asbestos rather than be left behind.

Artist! Quote with your most detailed art! 🍁 Its either this one or that weird one from last year, I think. 😂 #art #ocart

"9 of Cups" is often called the 'wish' card. It represents contentment + achieving ones desires. This cidermaster lynx is savoring the sweetness of success! This is our Whimsy Woods Tarot reveal this month. Deborah + I are so excited for this deck! I'm in the home stretch, w/ 18 paintings left.

This is why I mask indoors when sharing air with others, regularly test, use air purifiers, and get a COVID booster every six months, most recently on Monday. Saddens and infuriates me governments and organisations are letting us down despite all the evidence these protections are still needed.

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. Transcripts help many, including blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Arizona, we need your help! Tomorrow is the last day to submit public comments to the Arizona Corporation Commission before against the deal between TEP and Beale to build a hyperscale data center (Project Blue) east of Tucson. We have a guide on our website on what to say. nodesertdatacenter.com

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Feels like I'm seeing a lot of new to Bluesky artists lately so just a lovingly and humbly offered PSA: There is a pretty hardcore group of users here who won't repost or engage with images that don't include at least some basic alt text. Alt text = more engagement opportunities

And yes, vaccines help…lessen the severity if and when you do catch them. They aren’t sterilizing. That doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. It just means they should not be your only layer of protection—and certainly not your family’s. Mask up in the germ tubes and the places they stop.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

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.

TW: scars, burns Moreta, a #Warcraft commission this time! 😌

When I first got here alt text was a huge part of the art culture here. I've gotten very sad to see it fading and I'd like it to resurge.

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

One way sighted people can determine what to put in alt text: Imagine you sent the post or article to a friend, and the image didn't load. What would someone need to know to get the equivalent experience and context? This will help you identify the important details.

Kinda rings hollow that the same people condemning political violence because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk have been cheering on the mass starvation and slaughter of children in Gaza for years
