If you're like me, then you were really happy to learn about Mastodon's enthusiastic support for image descriptions, and you were eager to join in.

Then you went to actually write something and realized you have no idea how to present visual info in a way that is helpful/enjoyable to those who are #VisuallyImpaired or #Blind.

I found this guide really informative: https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546

Post-viral Edit: Don't forget to give the author some love on medium. They did the work!

#Accessibility

Apart from the obvious reasons, one thing I really like about #MayDay is that it is one of the few remaining "holidays" that has not been turned into an excuse for consumerism.

No need to buy anything, no pressure to consume. Just remembrance, struggle and solidarity.

As it should be.

If I could, I'd be gayer - I just haven't worked out how yet.

- Pine over women 3000 miles away ✅
- Fail to talk to any who are local even if they're so pretty they take my breath away ✅
- Not notice any of them flirting with me ✅
- Cry over gay cartoon characters ✅
- Not realise I'm a lesbian for decades later than I should ✅

What other #lesbian clichés am I missing on #lesbiandayofvisibility ?
