This is the story of Saim.

Before I came to be called Saim, I thought I was called “Go away!”

Hello Bluesky friends! Today's story is Annie's, a little orange tabby kitten

"I called him, in my head, "Kind Hands." Quetta was a harsh place, all dust and sharp edges, but Kind Hands always brought softness.

Did a quick search for a good explainer and this blog post does a good job on explaining how to write good alt text. It includes things I didn't know.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period?

"End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text."

This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new!

Alt Text: What to Write
Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.

Hey & Hi!

I’m seeing a lot of good photography accounts joining. Welcome!

But y’all would be doing the entire community a kindness by using AltText when posting your photos.

Here’s examples of WHY & HOW. Make it meaningful.

Y’all can select a reminder in account settings for AltText, too.

I still do not trust humans. But I trusted him once, and now, I guard the tent of the old woman. I, Athena, watch over her, and we are safer together.

These brief moments of connection were small, bright spots in my memories of Karachi. For soon after, I felt the pull of the hills and ventured to the outskirts of the city. Recalling the kind namegiver, I followed an old woman to her tent. She fed me, and I warmed her back at night.

An unspoken understanding seemed to pass between us, and whenever our paths crossed again amidst the city's chaos, he made sure to offer me whatever food he had. In turn, I shared my peaceful presence, to surround him with a calming aura in this city that so rarely pauses.

We shared the same quiet dignity and I saw in his gentle eyes, a serene wisdom. He saw that I was unlike most of the stray dogs nearby, and was not demanding and boisterous like them. I have always had a quiet heart.

Here in the crowded city the humans call Karachi, I encountered a human who affectionally called me Athena. I lived surrounded by the chaotic energy of the streets, possessed by an unusual tranquility.

Here is our first story of a dear friend, Athena. These are written from the perspective of our animal friends, in the hope that by giving them a voice, we will become more compassionate for the challenges we humans make for their lives.
