Are welcome at Democratic Underground. Because even though I posted the graphic, I didn't add a description of it.
That excludes our blind and visually impaired brothers, sisters and all the rest of us who may have vision in flux.
I'm going to need to do better. My wokeness needs improving. Just sharing the graphic isn't enough. I did find this guide. Looks interesting!

How to Write Alt Text and Image Descriptions for the visually impaired
Making your website and social media accessible to people with blindness and low vision.
Fully updated July 2023; original post January 2018
Over the last few years, I have become a leading expert in how to write alt text and image descriptions for the visually impaired, inclusive of blind/low vision audiences. Fewer than 1% of images online contain alt text or image descriptions for people with vision loss, which means that people who use screen readers are unable to access images and other visual content that can connect them to information and facilitate communication, so adding alt text and/or image descriptions are a great way to stand out and be inclusive of audiences with vision loss, while simultaneously improving the SEO of an image and making it easier to understand what is going on. Here are my general tips for how to write alt text and image descriptions for the visually impaired, which has been updated since I originally posted this in 2018.
