Beige.party is still only at 71% of photos containing alt text. We can do far better - we HAVE done far better. I think there are some accounts posting memes and cloning from other sites that don’t contain alt text, and that’s sad.
Alt text means access for everyone. Please consider adding it if you don’t.
Thanks.

The deaf blacksmith who married in 1576 – and the history of sign as a legal language
