Of course! @ebthen.bsky.social has also spent a lot of time a lot of time explaining how to think about and improve alt text! This thread of theirs has links to other threads as well

It can be helpful to ask why you shared the pic! If it's a cat picture & the point of the pic is that the cat is making a particularly disapproving face then that info and some re: setting is good, e.g. "orange cat lying on its side on a desk full of messy papers, making a very disapproving face"

It would be super great if you included alt text on all images, so that blind and low vision people, and others who use screen readers, can all access your posts. Important for everyone, but especially public agencies!

Examples: - grandma who purposefully gives grandkid with food allergy b/c she doesn't believe it's real - parents who submit their neurodivergent children to horrid "therapies" *on purpose* - family members who literally murder their disabled kin
