What with the influx of people new to Bluesky: a basic description of alt text. Good posts about accessibility, including alt text.

Alt text must provide context for people who cannot see the image. Describe the image's context and purpose. Do not write alt text for cute or clever jokes based on visual content you expect users can see. This is an abuse of alt text, as it violates the whole point of alt text.

A woodpecker attacked the metal window frame and caught the cats' attention. The black and white cats have seen the bird. The round tawny one has only heard it. (The bird finished its snack and left. The cats returned to their naps.)

Three cats on a chair in front of a set of windows. A bird is pecking at the window frame of the far window. Two black and white cats watch the bird. The roundish tawny cat looks out the open window next to him.

Very faint to the naked eye, but my camera's phone is better. From my street, in a small city.

Faint pink and green aurora in the sky above a house and trees, with wires.

Hanging out with my buddy G.

A white and black cat, sitting on the back of a couch. They are looking at the camera with half closed eyes. Tail hangs down but curls up again at the end.

Thread of ordering mishaps. It starts with lunch bags, and then other people chime in.

Power is out for no apparent reason. Looking at the Only Posts feed here, to save time and because it's slower in data mode. Hmm, no TV, no computer internet. Whatever shall I do? [looks at yesterday's colected library books] [and the dozen library books from before]
