As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎

My government won’t let me drive cars, it believes being legally blind makes it “not safe”, or something. My government refuses to supply large info signs, an accurate app or clear announcements on train stations. One restriction is reasonable, the other is not. This is what #accessibility means.

RFK says he wants to protect our children from autism while his admin cuts all DEIA programs. Programs for people with disabilities. Including autism. So...RFK will protect your kids from autism but if they already have autism he'll hurt them??? Make it make sense. #stopRFK #DEIA #Accessibility

Introducing the Bluesky Altometer: altometer.atdev.pro This is an project #atproto that tracks image posts for alt text. It keeps track of the percentage of posts it has seen (since the last database reset) that are *missing* alt text. The goal here is to increase the #accessibility of Bluesky.

A screenshot of the Bluesky Altometer site. It started tracking on Oct 23, 2024. In the screenshot it had observed 18,880 images, of which 16,572 were missing alt text. This accounted for 87.8% of images missing alt text.

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…” @nondriver.bsky.social in @motherjones.com #Accessibility

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts.

City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

For a lot of folks, if you post without #AltText this is what they see (myself included). For some folks, the labeller will simply remove the posts from their feed entirely. #Accessibility leads to better visibility. #VTubers #ENVTubers #Art #Artists

Screenshot of a post that's been hidden. In place of the picture of a tag that says "No Alt Text - Show" and underneath is "Labelled by Bad Accessibility / Alt Text Labeller. Learn more."

Kinda hate that it includes me in my own starter pack but I started putting this together. If you are an artist who consistently (always, without exception) uses alt text (not just "my OC" or "Taffy being so silly!" type stuff), please let me know and I'll add you in. #Art #Artists #Accessibility

Does what it says on the tin with no AI, no NFTs. These are artists who I never hesitate in sharing the works of because they take the time to include alt text with their work! All skill levels and experience are included, as well any visual medium 💜

#A11y #Accessibility

Boardroom meme. Five people in business clothes sit at a rectangular table. The boss at the head of the table says angrily, "Must make website accessible." One employee smiles and suggests "Alternate accessible version." A second replies, "Buy an overlay." At the end, a smug looking guy in a polo shirt leans on the table with his head on his hand. He says "Fix our HTML." The boss looks at him angrily, and the guy smiles back smugly. In the final frame, the smug guy has been thrown out the window of the office building.
