I might be the only person on Twitter who didn't know this, but apparently Twitter has an alt text feature for images
And #Accessibloc did a whole thing explaining how to use it for people like me who don't know stuffhttps://twitter.com/brianorwhatevr/status/1309319687604322305 …

but how do you describe images? This is a conundrum I face, especially as a vision impaired person who struggles, at times, to describe images I post to my own website. This is particularly a problem when describing book covers.

The zine talks about that! I found it super helpful (I'm sure my descriptions won't be perfect but that's OK)

You're at least 10 steps ahead of me. Still trying to get the basics down.

I’m the person who figures out stuff by playing the “What Does This Button Do?” game. Usually ends in, “Oops.”
