Superman stands tall and proud in his iconic blue suit, tights, red trunks and his cape flowing behind him. The Superman 'S' stands proudly on his chest. His jet black hair is sleeked back and he stares into your soul with his icy blue eyes. He's proudly standing in a power pose inside what looks like a sleek, futuristic ice palace made up of giant crystal formations. It's giving major villain lair vibes. The cool and moody lighting casts dramatic shadows that make him look Iike he’s ready to save the world

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s alt text on Superman! 🦸‍♂️

With the new Superman movie flying into cinemas this week, don’t let adding alt text be your kryptonite! Remember to add it to your posts - it makes your content soar because it's accessible to everyone. Just like we’ve done here.

Jonathan Bailey walks across a field of really long, very green grass as the character Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth. His arms are outstretched, and he has a huge grin across his face. He’s wearing dainty, wire-thin, hexagonal frames, which accentuate his boyish charm. He’s wearing a checked shirt, beige gilet and beige cargo trousers – all of which are covered in mud. Somehow, and probably not at all on purpose of course, his muddy clothes make his perfectly clean, slutty little glasses stand out more. A couple of people mill around behind him and smoke billows in the background.

You’re admiring Jonathan Bailey’s slutty little glasses when you remember you haven’t had an eye test for at least two years. Suddenly, the sexiest thing you can do is call your optician and book one in.

Your picture might say a thousand words, but your alt text doesn’t have to to include blind and partially sighted people 🤯

It's really easy, simply click ‘Alt’ on the image and type your description before hitting ‘post’.

Short thread on Yvette Cooper's decision to ban Palestine Action. 🧵

A goat told me my audio description was beautiful today.

How’s your day going?

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

Gang 🫶 And Allan is in a kilt - chefs kiss!

What do we want?
To walk ten metres without bumping into a Lime Bike, stray wheelie bin, or cafe A-board in the middle of the pavement.

When do we want it?
Whenever you’ve got a sec to pop out and move them.

Championing inaccessible social media isn’t the look you think it is.

So basically just sort of banning people who enjoy a sport for fun really?

What is a vagina? Finally, you sigh with relief, the Vagina Museum is out there answering a *simple* question.

We regret to inform you it's not that simple. It's actually fairly complicated, and here's why...

Phasing out fossil fuels ‘doomed to fail’, says Tony Blair as he calls for rethink of net zero policy – UK politics live ‘Any strategy based on either phasing out fossil fuels in the short term or limiting consumption is a strategy doomed to fail,’ says former PM

Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying

Help us challenge the Supreme Court’s judgment on trans rights | Good Law Project

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

Nobody considers trans men (fortunately for them, they're well out of this hatred) and nobody will address the elephant in the room: that this is an "issue" only because some very vocal people find trans people disgusting and want to treat them as gay people and black people were for so long.

So, a large porcupine is draped over a couple of tree branches, one arm hanging limply in front. It looks very sleepy, like a cat when it’s pretending to be awake, but it can’t keep its eyes open. Its white tipped fur looks a little like hedgehog spikes but is softer (we hope). It’s giving punk vibes with a mohawk, which we assume it didn’t style, but what do we know, we’re not an animal charity.

With alt text, this porcupine can be enjoyed by everyone. We love alt text, and we love the porcupine.

A photograph of a lifeboat taken from the corner of a lifeboat station. The striking orange RNLI lifeboat hovers above the ground, held up with strong wires from its roof. Two small wings are open at the front, showing the grey interior. On the side of the boat, it reads, 'RNLB Irene Muriel Rees. RNLI Lifeboats, ' The lifeboat station is bright and airy with pops of blue painted on the roof and walls.

We decided to describe this image of a lifeboat by way of reminding you that the 'B' in RNIB stands for blind people.

The RNLI saves lives at sea, and they're brave and brilliant.

Someone holding a sign saying: Respect existence or expect resistance.

Parents holding up a sign saying: "this mum says trans rights are human rights" and "our beautiful daughter is trans."

Someone holding a sign saying "you can't legislate us out of existence."

Someone holding a sign saying "i love my trans self. I love my trans friends."

Today, thousands gathered across the country - from Hastings to London to Glasgow - to say: we will always stand with trans people.

Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

I've been reflecting some more overnight on the For Some Women Scotland case. 🧵

We left it to the Supreme Court to decide ‘what a woman is’ – they chose wrong The Supreme Court’s decision regarding trans women has made me ashamed of my profession – and ashamed of what our law has become, writes Good Law Project founder Jolyon Maugham KC

"The Supreme Court’s decision regarding trans women has made me ashamed of my profession – and ashamed of what our law has become." www.independent.co.uk/voices/trans...

‘Transgender’ people have been with us for over 100 years, and what we would recognise as trans identities are found in our archives - in the UK alone - reaching as far back as the medieval era.

Pal taught our friendship group a new word: Vorfreude.

It’s German for anticipatory joy.

How lovely is that? I’m full to the brim with it because I’m seeing said pals all weekend.

An emoji has a coded description that gets read aloud by screen readers. Putting emoji in between text could cause confusion or make content less clear. It's best to put emoji at the end of written content.

Oh well done team! 👏 Lush news. You deserve it.

The only economic stability I’ve experienced in my lifetime is that rich people get richer and poor people get poorer.

"PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. But some of the messaging we’ve been hearing has been misleading, linking it to work.". White graphic with a pink checkbox marked with a cross above the text.

Let’s be clear, Personal Independence Payment is not an out-of-work benefit.

Some of the messaging we’ve been hearing has been misleading, linking PIP to work.

It’s annoying how good exercise makes you feel.

"If you found a dead body in the middle of the forest, would you... ❌ Call the police. ✅ Live stream it." Pink font against a lime green background.

"A page-turner that has you hooked from the start." Oenone Forbat. Underneath the quote is a picture of a book called I Found A Body. The book has a tagline "An influencer, a dead body, and a live stream... I Found A Body." The book cover is hot pink and glittery with lime green, drop shadow font for the title. There's a pool of blood, in which disembodied barbie doll limbs lie. The author is Becky C. Brynolf. There are small pools of blood around the book.
