MrAlanCooperWelp, i've finally been shamed into consistently adding ALT text to the images I post and, whaddaya know, it's turning out to actually be fun and creative to write prose descriptions of the visuals. This is forcing me to really LOOK at what I'm seeing, something that I, as a sighted person, generally take for granted.

@mralancooper isn't it fun, after all? I always look to the alt-text, some folks get downright poetic!
…might work for coffee…@jpthuot03
I always love how and what detail is important to the author. Quite often it really gives more perspective and is quite inspiring.

@mwfc @mralancooper totally agree
Dr Suzanne she/her@mralancooper everybody wins!!

(she/her)@mralancooper Thank you!
Pollinators@mralancooper. Thanks for seeing joy in alt text instead of a chore.
NatalyaD@mralancooper Yes, I really like reading other people's ALT text even though I am sighted and like you I find it really interesting to stop and think about how I describe things that I post. What do my blind friends need to know that they wouldn't know if I don't describe it? What context can I add about the image? I find it fun and it makes me see things more in depthly.
Rejin@NatalyaD @mralancooper Yes! Writing alt text makes you stop & think about why you're sharing a particular image, and how to write that up so more people can appreciate it.
acm@mralancooper I feel the same way -- thinking about the image, why I'm posting it, details, etc.
@jacquiharper@mralancooper I love the ability to create context
Ticktok@mralancooper something I've discovered is absolutely anything done for accessibility benefits everyone.
Joby 
(he/him)@ticktok @mralancooper Even in meatspace. I'm entirely able-bodied (knock on wood, shit happens), and I'm still 100% glad that every building has ramps and elevators, because -- you know -- sometimes I need to get something heavy into a building, and sometimes even off the ground floor.
@joby @ticktok In the mid-70s, when I was in school, I fell in with a crowd of disabled activists and was fortunate enough to witness some of their fearless advocacy and lucid articulation of the obstacles they faced. They had a sense of humor, too, referring to themselves as "crips." Those were heady days in the fight for accessibility.

Upon visiting my daughter for the first time yesterday in her newish place I discovered it isn’t handicapped accessible. I can’t even get *to* her entrance, let alone over the threshold.
I can’t believe new construction doesn’t require handicapped accessibility.
@Pagan_Activist @ticktok @mralancooper Yeah, I think the accessibility requirements most places are pretty ... relaxed ... for residential construction.
Alt Text Hall of Fame@mralancooper Not sure if shaming people is the best way to go about this, but glad it worked for you!
@alttexthalloffame What else you got? Shame is by far the greatest motivator. 9 out of 10 psychologists agree that shame is a stronger motivator than anything else, and that tenth psychologist is hiding in his room with humiliation right now.
