[pt: use alt text responsibly /end pt]
A guide on what alt text is and how to use it! This guide is geared for those new to writing alt text, or for those who have been doing so for a while, but still need a little extra help. This is also geared towards describing flags, but can be used as a guide for describing most images
[pt: The mechanics /end pt]
What is alt text?
Alt text is an (optional, but highly encouraged) accessibility feature that allows you to describe your images for the blind and the visually impaired. This allows your blind and visually impaired viewers to better understand the contents of your post.
How does that work?
Some blind people use screenreaders (as well as other accessibility features) to navigate their phones, which will read alt text. Visually impaired people may also use screenreaders, depending on what their visual impairment is.
Why do we use alt text?
Because blind people and visually impaired people may not be able to fully see or look at the images. Screenreaders can't actually read the contents of images, so we have to describe them.
Where is alt text located?
Alt text is attached to an image. On tumblr, you may locate it by clicking the little "alt" square that appears on images with alt text. If you use a screenreader, it will automatically read alt text out by scanning the image. You can add alt text to an image by pressing the meatballs menu.

If you're not sure what to describe in alt text, that's okay. I'm here to help you!
Generally, what you need to describe will be the subject of the photo, what it looks like, what the subject is doing, what it's wearing (if it is wearing clothing,) and briefly, what the surrounding environment is. You may also describe anything else if it offers context necessary to the post. Here's an example:

[pt: Dos and Don'ts /end pt]
DO:
DON'T:
¹This includes writing a description for an image that's not there, using it for jokes, using it to credit the source of an image, using it as an "about me," etcetera. This purposefully misleads blind and visually impaired people.
If you're going to do this, at least write in the post "this image description isn't accurate." No, putting "this blog isn't screenreader friendly" in your bio means nothing, it has to be in the post (if you're publicly tagging it.) While it's preferable you don't do this at all, at least signal that you're doing so.
²This includes hex codes. Someone is less likely to know what "#c75f6d" or what "dusky rose" looks like. However, they will probably be able to visualize "a dull, reddish pink."

Don't worry! People don't seem to realize this, but alt text is a skill like any other. And just like with other skills, practice goes a long way. If you're only just starting to write alt text, it's okay if you don't know where to start!
Here's a secret: everyone has a different way of witting alt text. People have different methods of writing, whether in books, texting, or even alt text. It's a good idea to study how other people write alt text and find a way that works best for you.
You can also practice describing random images! It might feel silly, but it can help you figure out how you want to word things and what to describe. You can also get a feel for how you want to write.
If all else fails, there are always image description blogs; like @/accessibilitea, for example. You can also ask a friend for help.
Oh, and here's a heads up: as long as you're describing an image as accurately and cohesively as possible, it's a good image description. Also, something is better than nothing.

i dont know how many times we have to tell you this but you people have got to start respecting the boundaries of the people in the community. archivists and coiners and creators, whatever. we're people.
you're not entitled to our shit. if we tell you not to repost it, don't repost it. if we tell you not to use it, don't use it. if someone says they don't condone something, they don't condone it. if we tell you shit you need to fucking listen. you all act like archivists and coiners and everyone in the community owes you 100% attention and effort at all time and act like we can't want things, like we can't ever have discomforts, like we're fucking dolly little robots who all have to bend to the wills of everyone else
you people forget that we're real human beings with real fucking boundaries and real fucking worries. we have anxieties and emotions. it's not like we're not asking you to break your fucking backs. how hard is it to respect a SINGULAR boundary.
you're not entitled to steal our shit. you're not entitled to have our things. you're not entitled to our opinions or our presence or our anything.
we don't owe you a goddamn thing
don't fucking add my terms to wikis. dont fucking repost them. i dont know how many times i have to say this boundary. i do not want my terms added to any wikis whatsoever. i have given ONE SINGULAR WIKI permission to post my terms. stop fucking redefining them too. i dont fuck with that shit either.
you all have a fucking entitlement problem and that shit has got to stop

🧼 — THE FIRST RULE OF MOGAI CLUB IS:
CRASH OUT: a person who reclaims the concept of being a “crash out”, who is always angry and/or frustrated, aggressive and overreacts to minor issues. this might be due to having anger issues, emotional disregulation, being cluster b, constantly being overstimulated, etc
(do not use this to be a glorified bully. there is a difference between recognising/reclaiming one’s symptoms and being content to cause harm)
YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT MOGAI CLUB — 🫧
