stumbled across a link on cohost to a fascinating article that totally re-arranged my perspective re: what i should be doing when i try to write alt text audio.mcsweeneys.net/transcripts/...

The parody of bad alt text is really funny “Mary is wearing a green, blue, and red striped shirt; every fourth stripe also has a purple dot the size of a pea in it, and there are forty-seven stripes—” Yet putting this kind of detail is exactly what makes people dread writing it!

This was so interesting and informative to read! Kind of mind-blowing

Thanks for sharing! ❤️

ngl: alt text is often hard for me, with carpal tunnel syndrome and a few brain problems where i become exhausted easily by Small Extra Tasks. and i've said it before but i haven't appreciated the way i've seen people act as if it isn't work and couldn't possibly be difficult
