if a post gets traction and a wider audience, it should be possible for the community as a whole to suggest alt text, rather than suggesting the original poster get fucked for not including alt text access conflicts are real and we're all just individuals doing the best we can under our own circumstances businesses need to be held accountable and platforms need to be made accessible, but part of that accessibility is providing tools to help people to help people

You know what's *actually* the craziest part about being gender non-conforming? When you realize you can just be whoever you want, whenever you want. If I get tired of being a girl in 10 years or whenever, I can just stop being a girl. Yeah, I'll have a vagina and stuff but like, I could just throw on some mens jeans, a men's tee, a baseball cap, and stop shaving. I wouldn't have a beard or anything anymore and maybe people would still gender me as female, but like, 🤷♀️ Gender is personal on an intimate level, but also meaningless on a societal level. I spent 30+ years looking like a guy. I've always been a girl but people thought I was a guy bc of how I dressed mostly. But now I dress like a girl and take some hormones and people think I'm a girl. Gender is dumb. Be trans. Do crime.

I'm only halfway through it, but Chants of Sennaar is an easy #NoCombat #GameRecommendation for me. In this #IndieGame, you observe four different tribes to piece together their languages from environmental clues. Once you can decode the languages, the inscrutable puzzles that block your way become obvious, and it's a very rewarding gameplay loop. Artwork is gorgeous, and the game runs fine on #Linux with proton. https://www.rundisc.io/chants-of-sennaar/

This is the reason I infrequently post photos, because I want to spend the time to write good alt text, so don't just upload photos with sub-standard descriptions
I don't know.. I feel like this is going to be unpopular, but I'm going to say it. I feel like not posting AltText because "I don't know how", or "I don't have the time/energy" needs to just fucking stop. If you don't know how - learn. If you don't have the time/energy - save the picture and post when you have the time/energy to AltText it. It's giving businesses who whine "we didn't build a ramp because they're expensive.." If the social model of disability is a thing (it is!) then the onus for accessibility is on able people (it is!) Accessibility is mandatory. Do better. #Disability #accessibility #AltText

I get #Kagi relying on sources that don't share my values. Nothing in our societal order is uncompromised. But calling gay rights political is a dog whistle that I hear loud and clear. There's no world in which I directly pay money into that kind of leadership. On to the next...
