Do you believe in DEI? If you do: alt text is DEI; you have to include alt text every time you post an image -- even in replies, even when you're in a hurry. If you *don't* believe in DEI, go fall in a volcano. 🌋

There's no "I believe in DEI, I respect people with disabilities, but I'm always too busy to include alt text, or it's just too annoying." You think you're on the right side but you are not.
It's very telling how many social accounts of democratic politicians/organizations with 50K, 100k, 200k followers never use alt text, despite frequent polite requests from constituents. They're media savvy enough. They sincerely do not care about treating people with disabilities as human beings.
They're fine with leaving people with disabilities out of the conversation because they don't believe these people have value to them or deserve any better. Chances are you're following these politicians, organizations, journalists, etc. Pay attention and you'll see.
