I get it. The UI for entering alt-text here and on most other apps is a pain in the ass. Unnecessarily so. But if you’re gonna do it, you have to remember it’s for someone who can’t see your images well or at all. For them to find your alt-text bonus joke funny, you still have to put all the context

Like, being a silly goose in the alt-text is fine as long as you still describe the full content of the image.

I’ve seen alt-text of post screenshots very recently that had sarcastic jokes about the content instead of the full content itself. It doesn’t matter if the person in the screenshot is saying some smooth-brained bullshit. Type it out in the alt-text so screenreader users know what they said in full.

It’s to describe an image with enough reasonable context that a screen reader user who *cannot see your images BTW* can understand your post/thread in full just as a sighted person can. This means transcribing screenshots posts and quote posts in full.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but putting jokes and commentary in the alt-text field isn’t the purpose of alt-text and isn’t meeting the accessibility purpose of it.

Everyone who was at the Council of Nicaea was literally just a guy.

Mainline Protestant church names be like β€œYOU’RE Squidward. HE’S Squidward. I’M SQUIDWARD!!”

If I ask you what church you go to and you’re like β€œFirst United” or β€œFirst Congregational,” that’s like if I asked you what grocery store you go to and you just tell me β€œthe market.”

That’s what he gets for being wrong. Ratboys slaps.

Just watching clips and reaction streams until the full HQ set is posted.

Raising up the culture like that. 10/10 no notes. This diaspora kid with weird imposter syndrome issues receives the gift. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡·

Never mind jobs you had; tell me five classes you took at university.

1. Christian Iconography (the actual title was cooler)
2. Theological Themes in Children’s Literature
3. Critical Theory
4. Photoshop
5. Music and Philosophy (or something like that)

Homestar Runner, badger badger mushroom, everything on New Grounds, anything said in any anime club between 2004-2007. Some people didn’t live the history. 🀣

I’m not saying the brain rot isn’t real bc it is. I’m just saying it’s not new.

Hayley Williams' "True Believer" is For the Ones Who Stayed, Yet Left A haunting condemnation of gentrification, racism, and Christian nationalism

I had me some ✨thoughts✨ about Hayley Williams and the deconstructing girlies. taylorramage.substack.com/p/hayley-wil...

I recently watched a video about Sleek phones that do the dumb phone thing with Google Pixel hardware. I’m not in the market for a new phone, but might consider an option like this when I need to.

What if it was a joke and they’re actually doing a sermon series on Numbers instead?

Really cool to see Trinity United Church of Christ just like broadcast on a cable TV channel. Never expected to see UCC folks on TV like that.
