Having a *tremendously* difficult day, chums. My instinct is to clam up and go all internal and self-destructive, but that is a very stupid idea and so I am telling you instead. I'M HAVING A REALLY HORRIBLE TIME AT THE MOMENT AND TODAY IS PARTICULARLY BAD. If you are moved to, I wondered if you had any good news or funny memes or pics you might like to offload onto an Internet needy. LOVE YOU. ❤️

I avoid boosting toots with images without alt-text. I do sometimes reply with an alt-text and then boost, when I have the spoons and the toot seems important enough.
As somebody mentioned in replies to the quoted toot, the #Alt4you / #Alt4Me hashtags are there to help, too! 
Get loads of boosts on Fedi with this one weird trick!
Alt-text your images!
An impressive demonstration of focus, balance, and physics at work.
@globalmuseum #ALT4me if someone feels like adding descriptive alt text that would be super appreciated, it won't load and the alt text is the caption.

And shit like this is why I'll never date or fuck a white person again, trans or not, they all see brown bodies as objects to an unrelated personal end
What if I told you that you don't have to fetishize brown people to stick it to your nazi ancestors
What if I told you that treating brown people like sexual objects is just you affirming your white supremacist ancestry

And another one, #fediblock translunar.academy for harboring Nazi descendents who either look up to their Nazi ancestors or fetishize brown people in order to piss them off.

A much better visual guide than ones I've seen elsewhere. Includes examples of edge cases and how to determine one way or the other. https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/uploads/2017/lcdhe-dented-cans.pdf A good resource for the current times.
My attempt to make a tactile version of the guide linked upthread:
1. Find the seams. Take your can and remove the label. Feel for a line of raised metal going from end to end. This is the side seam. Then, feel for a bump where the lid attaches to the top and/or bottom of the can. This/these are the end seams. Some cans only have a top end seam, while others have both top and bottom.
#ALT4me if someone could double-check my work on this, please
“Hold on I can’t board the flight yet, I need to write ALT text for these images first! Wait!!”
@codinghorror hey if you're in a position where you can't write alt-text, you can always request help from humans who are willing to help by tagging and asking #Alt4Me.
Apologies if I'm missing the satire, I must be since you write alt-texts. But for anyone who might take this literally, I don't think mocking the culture that is inviting of everyone regardless of their challenges is helpful. Accessibility makes things better for everyone.

Now this? THIS is a transfeminist text worth reading.

image with no description
That's what my screen reader says when it encounters a picture or screenshot of text with no alt text.
Just wasn't sure if some of you knew that.

De Tweede Kamer heeft, net als Trump, ‘antifa’ bestempeld als ‘terroristische organisatie’.
Gevaarlijke onzin want ‘antifa’ is helemaal geen organisatie. Dit is in de VS bedacht als een soort McCarthy achtig gereedschap om politieke tegenstanders monddood te kunnen maken of te laten opsluiten/verdwijnen.
En slechts een paar dagen later hier overgenomen.
De Mussolini’s van de Amerikaanse Hitler hebben hier (nog) de overhand. #stemZeWeg

Okay, anyone can write a decent alt text for ... this? #ALT4you #ALT4me #alttext #altneeded
