I don't always encounter alt text for images on Mastodon. But when I do, I notice the alt text descriptions are higher quality than they were on Twitter. In general, I feel like describers are sharing the intent of images more and sharing their visual interpretations more often. When describers do this, the pictures come alive in my mind. In short, alt text feels less robotic on Mastodon and more like my sighted friends narrating their lives and observations to me. It's really awesome and special to watch. Keep up the great work, describers!

This painter (Jean-Baptiste de Champaigne, 1631-1681) has REALLY looked at cats. (Detail of this: https://www.mskgent.be/collectie/1955-m)

I think it's important to follow a few people where you never have any idea what the fuck they're talking about but it seems interesting

The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.

§ From Our Users :—

• @wallhackio built a PC (technically last weekend, but I was lazy and so we’re celebrating it now)!

• @Satsuma visited a lot of museums, which I know because I am subscribed to their Photo Journal™ of it all.

• We’ve all been playing lots of pokémon, although only some of us are doing it for furry reasons. This is now a Meowscarada fan‐instance. Send fanart to @aescling.

Over on Twitter, fiercynonym put together an excellent thread of questions for the #OTW regarding its anti-racist work (or lack thereof): https://twitter.com/fiercynonym/status/1615183026492968960

Because Twitter, I got fiercynonym's permission to collect the questions and share them in a Dreamwidth post: https://runpunkrun.dreamwidth.org/974053.html

Let the OTW Board know their extended silence on this matter is unacceptable. Write and ask them what they're doing to protect BIPOC fans from racist harassment on OTW platforms: https://www.transformativeworks.org/contact_us/

Just in case anybody is interested in checking out #dreamwidth, I wrote a little masterpost of useful resources: https://mx-morden.dreamwidth.org/3142.html mostly about #fandom #fanfic / #fanfiction #kpop
