Looking for a good tool for Alt Text for images? I found this & would recommend it.

It generates accurate image descriptions, it also generates short, to the point Alt Text, lifts text from images (which many generators don't) & allows you to add context.

honestly most "humor" I encounter is someone saying something bigoted and literally nothing else. I am convinced most of humor is just about like reaffirming your social commitment to whoever is in power in the space/providing an opportunity for people to do so

If you're Autistic & drive....

Do you enjoy driving long road trips (1 ½ Hrs +) either alone or with someone?

What's your least favourite part of driving road trips & whats your most favourite part?

Do you plan ahead or just go for it?

Who said you ever grow out of Tonka toys? Because sometimes the toys just get bigger… and come with rail wheels.

A huge thank you to the team at Railway Plant Services Ltd, especially Chris and John, who have come to our rescue with a brand new (to us) digger.

Hunting for cars on a tight budget is fun....

Especially when looking for automatic cars!

Courtesy of George Walker, a #throwback to 10 years ago, showing one of our beloved 'Sugar Puff' locos, No.1, ready to haul the first trains of the 2016 season. Originally used to shunt wagons at the sugar factory in Thurles, No.1 was the mainstay of our services throughout most of the 2010s.

We’ve had an impressive influx of new volunteers over the past few months – and what better way to get them started than having them work on our 150-year-old steam loco No. 90?

A cab ride a few months ago at the Downpatrick & County Down Railway.

A shunt of their 80 class powercar, taking it from mainline to the front car park....

An upside down flag, flying from a flag pole, signals that a person, community, company (military, etc), or crew is in distress.

Across the globe, many LGBTQ+ people are under attack from the governments & residents of the countries they live in, countries that they call home.

The UK government are seemingly deproirtising mental health as part of the NHS reform....

They're also allegedly deproirtising services for neurodivergent people too.

If you’re describing images, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep it clear and concise.

If you find it hard to remember to do alt text, go to your settings - accessibility - require alt text for images, and you’ll get a reminder each time you post an image

Please folks, use ALT TEXT.

I have a lot of words muted on here for the sake of my mental health.

BlueSky scans alt text for those words too. So if you don’t use alt text, I sometimes see images (e.g. screenshots of text) that contain those words.

Also, we like accessibility in this house!
