First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

A collage of illustrations surrounding a selfie of the artist Silver, aka blacksugarpill. The artist has afro textured hair, heart shaped glasses and multiple facial piercings. There are several images of cats featuring themes of body horror, gore, and trans representation. The main color palette consists of red, white, and black. Illustration of two black cats with white faces, white paws, red eyes and red cheeks. Both their names are ALT. The small one on the left sits on top of a floating, bleeding tooth, and he has red fleshy, toothy, demon wings. Several sharp teeth are emerging from his head while he smiles and makes a peace sign. The tall cat one on the right is wearing a red, fleshy jacket, skirt and platform boots with several teeth jutting out of the clothes. Drool is dripping down from the skirt. He is wearing a spiked choker and holding a bloody knife in his left hand. The background is a bright red with black teeth doodles and eerie faces. Headshot illustration of a black cat with fluffy cheeks and a large toothy smile. Their throat is torn open, exposing bright red flesh, blood, and red centipedes emerging from it. The background is also bright red with messy black paint strokes as a border. An image split in two. On the left is an illustration of a small shop stand with a sign up top that reads Shop Small. The stand has various meats and bleeding body parts being sold. The table is made out of flesh and teeth. The cashier are two black cats with white faces, white paws, red eyes and red cheeks, named ALT. On the right is a selfie of the artist Silver, aka blacksugarpill. He has afro textured hair, heart shaped glasses and multiple facial piercings. He is wearing a spiked choker and a black sweater with a design featuring several cat themed organs. The design is drawn by Silver.

Today is International Day of Acceptance💙

Acceptance means recognizing people with developmental disabilities as whole, capable individuals—each with their own strengths, voices, and dreams.

It takes less than a minute to enable this feature too!

YOU might not care, but someone who needs & requires alt text DOES.

Accessibility in this day & age is important

And for those who want to know HOW to do proper alt text -- here's a visual tutorial guide on how to do so.
a guide to writing alt text with an image and color-coded text. text reads "WRITING ALT TEXT IDENTIFY WHO - EXPRESSION - DESCRIPTION - COLOUR - INTERESTING FEATURES" and writes the following description for the image next to it: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on top of the capybara's head." source: veroniiiica.com

The 5th Annual Friendo Year Endo Awards were held this past weekend..

I received the highest honor of my baby streaming career and I won Streamer of the Year.

Streaming saved my life, and now you have shown me that I have helped in at least some way as well.

Thank you. Let's hang out soon?

Ironically, we were low spoons this week during #InternationalPersonsWithDisabilitiesDay, but still want to uplift disabled voices (even if we're a tad late).

Here are some words from various community members on what community means to them. Thank you for sharing spoons with us. 🥄✨

Quote reads "I've found communities that accept me knowing I can't always stick to a strict schedule or plan very far ahead. On weeks where I don't leave the house I have social interaction with my communities and it makes chronic illness life fell less alone." Spoon Platoon logo is at the top.
