i don’t think i’ve ever missed alt text because of this setting. alt text is easy, fun, polite, necessary, &—critically in the age of “govt openly enthusiastic about eugenics & ending accessibility initiatives”—the right thing to do, especially if you’re on bluesky to inform or drive action.

I have (my first!) nonfiction in here about struggling with undiagnosed autism. While I did eventually get a formal diagnosis, I wrote the piece right after I was denied an eval referral due to how "well-adjusted" I seem. Thank you @coinoppress.bsky.social for giving me the chance to share the vent.
