@tog @DublinMaker #alt4you A gloved hand holds a beige antique radio, brown faceplate on the table; a gloved repair tech in a blue and white knit hat tests a multimeter behind the open cover of a freestanding oil heater; a smiling redhead holds up a lit neon sign of a white cat eating noodles from a blue bowl.

Many on Fedi won’t boost toots without alt text as it excludes those who can’t see or load images from the conversation - adding it improves your reach!

@BrianJopek #alt4you Social media screenshot from Philip Germain @PhilipJGer... (username cut off)
“Trump's "Counterterrorism Czar" now saying that anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Garcia is "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and could be looking at being federally charged.
This is how freedom of speech dies.”

Below, a screencap of a Newsmax broadcast with headlines:
MEDIA TWISTS GANG MEMBER INTO "MARYLAND FATHER”
JUDGE ORDERS GOVT TESTIMONY ON GARCIA DEPORTATION

@Ann1944 #alt4you Not a single woman was present at The White House Meeting on Women's Health
There are more studies on erectile dysfunction, a painless condition that only affects men, than endometriosis, a painful condition that only affects women
More money is spent researching male pattern baldness than PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome)
Since women weren't included in medical studies until 1993, much less is known about how injury, illness and disease affects women

@wonderofscience #alt4you A time-lapse of Earth in which daylight passes over in a mere three seconds, first from a removed view where the whole planet can be seen from above the Pacific Ocean with Australia low at center, then from two closer views showing the right-side edge of the globe, a vast expanse of water, and then left-side edge, in which Indonesia is centered. Swirling clouds shimmer across the ocean in each view as the line of day rushes by.

@rbreich nearly the whole word 'demagoguery' was cut off in the image.

#ALT4you pen and water ink sketch drawing of precarious Roman pillars, and a nearly toppling arch beam with the words 'American Dem..' carved into it, and the rest of the word cut off. Under the beam an unsuspecting person looks towards us as things come crashing down.

@grrlscientist #alt4you Article headline under photo of a yellow warbler in green foliage:
“Traffic Noise Provokes 'Road Rage' In Male Galápagos Warblers -
Yellow warblers near busy roads become increasingly aggressive when traffic drowns out their territorial songs, and noise pollution could trigger fights.”

Many people on Mastodon won’t boost posts without alt text, or follow nonusers, because anyone who can’t see/ load images is left out. To improve reach, add alt text!
