Avoid character complexity in fonts. Simpler shapes and patterns of typographical text are more quickly and accurately analyzed by the human mind. Be careful with complex fonts, especially for long sections of text.

A SIMPLE GUIDE TO PROVIDING USEFUL ALT ON BLUESKY
1/ ALT's sole function on Bluesky is to provide an autonomous & as fully equivalent an experience of an image as possible for the blind/VI & neurodivergent
If you can see it & read it, I should be able to feel or hear it without leaving Bluesky

If you use the clapping hands emoji between every word for emphasis, screen reader users will hear "clapping hands" after each word. This is true for any emoji. This will be distracting, annoying, and disorienting. The message you're trying to emphasize will likely be lost.

When writing alt text, ask yourself if you would picture an approximation of the image if it was described to you over the phone using the alt text you've written. Doing that exercise can be a good way to determine if you're on the right track.

Have you heard the term CIND before?
(CIND= pronounced - kind-)
It's intended to be an inclusive acronym for the Chronic, Neurodivergent and Disability communities. Like the LGBTQIA+ acronym, it is a spectrum of people with different conditions who can often face similar challenges and barriers.🦾♿️

A photo from the flower room in 'The Monet in Paris' exhibit currently in Brisbane. They used an AI program outside the front door to do Impressionist style artworks which didn't seem able to pick me up in my wheelchair. So I made my own instead 😁 #MonetInParis #Impressionists #AccessibleEvent
