I couldn't think of a better place where to take a portrait with my new, awesome @Mastodon t-shirt that reads: "I write #AltText" : the Louvre Museum, in front of the painting "The Battle of David and Goliath" by Daniele da Volterra.

And may I share an ambitious goal with you?
I want to start advocating for the Louvre Museum to join the Fediverse (they're currently on all Big Tech social platforms only). Let's see what I can do 🤗
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're yelling at a person on Fedi for not using #AltText, stop. Please.
Should you use alt-text? Yes!
Should you boost posts without alt-text? No!
Should you yell at companies and bots who don't use alt-text? Fuck yeah!
Should you try your best to make Fedi a more accessible, and safe place for everyone—including those who have trouble writing alt-text? Of course.
Should you mention @altbot or #Alt4Me *occasionally* so folx know they're both wonderful tools that can help make Fedi a more inclusive place? It would be impolite not to.
But—and let me make this clear—don't be a dick to folx who forget alt-text, or who have trouble writing it for whatever reason; it's not very punk of you.

who used all the compute?
I'm sorry but I have to confess.
I see all Fedi users as their profile pictures.
If you're a furry and have furry art as a profile pic, or have a picture of your RL self, that will make sense to you.
But if you have a flower as your PFP, sorry, you're a talking flower now. Your pfp is your pet? You are a dog/cat/hamster. If your PFP is weird and abstract, you are a weird abstract critter.
If your pfp is the default white elephant for Mastodon, you are grouped in my brain with everyone else that uses it. Also, you are a talking elephant.
I hope you'll forgive me, somehow.
Also if your pfp is cute I definitely want to pet you. Sorryyyyy
