I am once again reminding you that adding alt text to wall-of-text screencaps doesn't have to be a difficult thing. Copy-paste works on both iOS and Android phones (Android tablets are a different thing). Also there are shortcuts for iOS that can strip text from images. routinehub.co/shortcut/18370

Here's a list of real nature photographers posting their own work, who make their images accessible with Alt Text. I love that Bluesky values actual people and not those image stealing accounts. This is just to get you started, there are tons more great photographers here! 🌿 #birds 🧪

I normally do not take photos with people, but I loved the silhouettes so much. It's one of my favorite photos in Yosemite.

Years ago I was a member of Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) & helped with comms during local floods back in the days before cell service. I still live in mountains with regular power outages which can knock out cell towers. It's good to see HAMs are still helping with disaster comms. 💗

This lil hippo brings me so much joy. Even her dark side. 😍

What's that you say? #BirdsAndBugs#birds#inverts#becurious

So many acorns this year!
