Don’t stuff your alt text with keywords without context. If your alt text is just a collection of keywords, it will just sound like a gibberish string. It won’t describe what’s actually in the image, and won't help a blind user get a context or content of the image.

Yes! Alt text is a thing on Blue Sky - I don’t repost anything unless it has it - this site supported disabled and visually challenged long before most of us had heard of it

A new start after 60: I realised I had autism – and suddenly my life made sense. I have never been so happy After decades of loneliness and depression, Cathleen Caffrey had come to think of herself as a bad person. Then she learned about others who had struggled to fit in …

Nice article about someone realising they are autistic in later life.

Can't begin to understand how that took a year, must have been a clear trail leading back.
Shocking.

Good grief. Heady mix of awe and fear to go along with that journey.

I’ll try again. All of these original artworks are still available on my website, there are some spooky things and some nice textures and lines that you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you for looking. πŸ–ΌοΈ and if you share this that would be super
