That is a brilliant thing to offer. I also wonder whether it might be a useful paid-for service to offer people who are live-tweeting events... #CripCoop

I imagine it would be but unfortunately I can’t commit to that kind of thing.

Do you have any tips for writing alt text (especially for artists)? It's so hard to include everything important without making it cluttered

kristinwrites.bsky.social•11 days ago

Here’s another one, tho this is for text heavy stuff which may not be helpful for your needs —

This is very kind! Over on Mastodon there's a hashtag to use for those who aren't able to write alt text but would like others to do so (#alt4me). It hasn't caught on much here. https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-more-accessible-to-deaf-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

That's such a generous offer. Do you know about this feed that collects requests for assistance?

The number of volunteers seems to have dropped, so if anyone can help, I'm sure it'd be appreciated.

I did not know, thank you!

That’s a wonderful offer! I do it as often as I can but sometimes I have to hold myself back in order to pace myself.

I cannot even describe how much of a relief this kind of help will be for me.

kristinwrites.bsky.social•12 days ago

Great! Warning — I can’t always write it myself if my brains not cooperating but I *usually* can. A little way I can help while I spend all day in bed!
