Alt Text for photos is also a big part of Bluesky culture.
And if you want to make sure you never forget to add Alt Text to any of your photos, there is a setting under accessibility to require Alt Text to post a photo.
Note, if you add a Tenor GIF from the button, those usually come with Alt text

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
