But we still all go through that quarterly “I hate everything I’ve ever done” phase right?
I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

ALT Text benefits everyone

Alt text helps with accessibility, identifying/explaining elements you might not get to in your posts and makes your posts/work more discoverable - Make sure to toggle it on to “require alt text” in your settings

Alt text is kinda funny
Like reading a very literal description of art always is so funny to me

Ex:
"A Painting by Van Gogh. The stars in the sky make a magnificent blue spiral over a small down below a mountain. There are several moons or bright stars within the sky. Yellow and Blue colors."

When I first got here alt text was a huge part of the art culture here. I've gotten very sad to see it fading and I'd like it to resurge.
