As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

Daylight to Evening - A reminder of the magic of childhood at sunset at Twin Lakes watching a little girl with her pail and shovel playing in the calm water as the sun went down. Made me feel so alive in a way that's hard to express, but such a day of appreciation. Magic - something I always want to feel

I've taken a double dose of gabapentin, cocodamol has been taken, might even be a night for voltarol gel on my hip. I'm about to fill the hot water bottle and crawl off to bed.
High pain days and unexpected difficulties are absolutely exhausting and so hard to deal with. I do have a lot of good things though so I am trying to focus on those...like a freshly filled hot water bottle, a comfortable bed and a good book to read.

Massive thank you to everyone on here who has sent supportive words in my direction, they are very much appreciated and thank you for helping me get through today. Some people would say "oh its just social media, they don't actually care", maybe some people don't, but I genuinely believe there are a lot of very good, caring, amazing people on here and I appreciate every single one of them. For those of us with very limited lives, who struggle to get out and about in the real world, social media is an absolute lifeline. Being able to share our good times, our bad times, our random thoughts with people all over the world, being able to connect through a screen but feel genuine connection and part of the world, its special.

Thank you, much love is being sent from me to you, have a wonderful weekend everyone and be safe.

Appreciate the Good in Your Life!

Some lovely Phlox flowers from my summer garden. A bit of a textured overlay on the photo

I think this scene in #2001: A #Space #Odyssey does not get the #appreciation it deserves: "Passengers are advised to read instructions before use"

If someone you follow brings you value, take the time to let them know, and do it often. This act of kindness and appreciation has value all on its own, but it also has added importance because there are legions of hurt and hateful people that don't hesitate to try and regularly tear them down. It would be a shame if those hateful and hurtful voices were the only ones the people that we valued ever heard.
