@Testoceratops Cat pictures are traditional, if you're up to it.

@wizzwizz4 Thank you for your message! I have around 800 pics of Clyde and Ascagne in total, I believe. I'm not proud of it but almost never did Caturday because I'm awfully bad at describing anything and it takes me like an hour for something not really good, so I don't post often. But I shall train and can still ask for help. I follow the alt text bot and I know there's # Alt4Me if needed.

But I don't want people thinking I post them just to get money, that's not how we see our babies at all

@Testoceratops If it takes you an hour to describe images, then absolutely use #Alt4Me, without shame. Accessibility is for authors too, not just readers. (I often forget this, too.)

If you want to participate in something, and there are barriers preventing you from participating in the perfect ideal way, please don't feel personally responsible for resolving them. (Also, many others are holding themselves to far lower standards.) Of all the times I've done this, it's never been the right move.

@wizzwizz4 @Testoceratops There's also #/PleaseCaption if you don't want to give credence to the crappy "Alt4You" thing by proxy.
