Reasons to use alt text for art:

-Helps blind people (YAY)

-Boosts your post. Feeds that pick up "Mermaid" will include a post that says "A mermaid lays on a rock" in alt even if actual post caption doesn't mention the word

-alt says 'art', it counts as #art

-Some ppl only repost art w/ alt text

I also think about semi-permanent retainers/braces :/

A werewolf mid-transformation. Her glasses are falling off, and her hands are twisted, changing into paws. Her face is stretching into a muzzle, but still human-ish in looks.

Finished commission for @werewolf.pizza !! Always fun to do gnarly werewolves

Comical illustrations of three different options to describe a group of Daubenton’s bats. Option 1: a reflection of Daubenton’s bats showing three bats flying above water and their reflections in the surface of the water. Option 2: a ripple of Daubenton’s bats three bats flying above water and the ripples they left behind. Option 3: a drift of Daubenton’s bats, showing three bats and water flowing beneath them.

Comical illustrations of three different options to describe a group of brown long-eared bats. Option 1: a hush of brown long-eared bats showing three bats and a sign saying ‘library – quiet please’ . Option 2: a whisper of brown long-eared bats showing a bat whispering into another bats’ ear. Option 3: a listen of brown long-eared bats, showing two bats with headphones and one with a radio.

After all, why should birds and other mammals have all the fun? Help us choose new collective nouns for 4 of our UK bat species! What should we call a group of common pipistrelles, noctules, Daubenton's bats or brown long-eared bats?

The image shows oversimplified and idealised wings. Great for some fantasy settings but the bone structure is totally awry.

This image focuses on the leading edge of the wing - the propatagium. It's a membrane that fills the gap between the wrist and shoulder, creating a nice aerodynamic shape.

Final image shows skeletal schematic of the flying vertebrates forelimb: the bat, the bird, the pterosaur. With a funny comparison to the human hand.

Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people!
It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs.

Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful!

The United States is a failing government.

Suspect was snacking while waiting for a drone delivery of a movie for a date night and for which they had brought roses. Upon opening the Amazon package, they see it is the incorrect film and abandoned the entire plan then and there.
But they keep the movie.

A Cooper’s hawk descends on a squirrel who is reared up on their hind legs, moth agape, reaching toward the hawk in an aggressive defensive posture. This is happening in someone’s lawn.

Morning drama in the neighborhood! A young Cooper’s Hawk decides to test a Gray Squirrel and a stalemate ensues. 🪶

Ughhhh these were so much fun, the lil brown bat/pipistrelle-y one was obviously the one I was most excited about 😭

Novel blood test for chronic fatigue achieves 96% accuracy Scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics have developed a high accuracy blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).

Researchers have developed a test for helping diagnose #ME/CFS.

DNA gets "folded" during our lives, changing what's On & Off. They've found a pattern to the folds that is reliably detectable in 92% of confirmed ME/CFS patients, & 98% accurate in ruling out those without it.

Exclusive: Plan C Doubles Down on Abortion Pill Info Amid Political Attacks The online abortion pill guide has been redesigned to make it even easier to learn where to get pills, including at no cost.

ICYMI, @susanrinkunas.com got the lowdown on the @plancpills.bsky.social site redesign for @autonomynews.co.

One update I appreciate: A feature that tells people when they can get their abortion covered by Medicaid in their state, so hopefully fewer people will pay for pills they could get free.
