A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade.  A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga. 

Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

The Covid Conscious Thearpists Directory exists to help connect you with therapists who won’t shame or pathologize you for continuing to take precautions. There’s also information about different groups being offered by people on the directory. Just updated it today.
