@alttexthalloffame just followed. plenty of #altTextArt examples there...

shouldn't ATHOF's account name be in CamelCase too? The first two above are, but ATHOFs kept autocorrecting to all lower till I ignored the autocomplete.

Edit -- I don't know if this has changed with evolving #webStandards but capitalisation used to make no difference to a url's addressing validity, whether or not it is honoured in other contexts.

@wavesculptor @SonjaS That's a nice idea - to encourage Alt Text use by promoting examples of it being done well. Especially, as you say, if it's on lesser noticed toots or images.

There is an account that boosts especially good Alt Text -
(a)[email protected]. I am not sure if there is a general hashtag. I like your suggestion of #AltTextArt

@CiaraNi @SonjaS
with a positive slant, I'm going to try boosting/quoting/replying to otherwise unnoticed images (and maybe noticed ones too) with this tag #altTextArt or maybe just #altArt or #altGem, where the alt text is as appealing (or more...) than the image itself. Any thoughts on which, or if useful if enough of us do it?

New Job Title Unlocked: Plague Artist !

Thank you so much everyone. To celebrate, here's some fun:

During quarantine I took self portraits in various costumes & disguises, since I didn't have access to other models. This was one of those shoots (this one had photo assist from my partner since I needed two hands for shadows 🩸 ♥️ ). @illmarks

@stealyourself @Fragglemuppet You make art with yarn. I make art with words. 😁

For those of you familiar with the appearance of the creature in the gif: Did I describe not just its appearance, but its essence?

@AltTextPrompt A moody landscape in tones of gray and brown features a beached fishing boat. This boat's brown hull, the same color as the sands, is scuffed and tattered, as is the white pilot house. The shore is muddy, with patches of water and of brown grasses. In the distance, across water the same gray as the cloudy sky, there are low colorless hills. The overall mood is cold and melancholic. #AltTextArt
