Tiny Mastodon Reminder About Alt-Text

For people who do not boost
posts with images missing alt-text
(which I also do):

Just a tiny reminder that some articles include an *image preview* when linked, which will not have alt-text directly on the preview itself (because it's a link, not an image).

However, most will have alt-text for the cover image in the article itself, when clicking on the link.

Basically, these previewed images
aren't direct images but just a link,
so it's not possible to add alt-text to it, only within the article.

TL;DR:

1. Boost posts with link with image preview

2. Add alt-text to your posts if it's a direct image (and not a link preview)

If nothing else, this map explains the quality of French and Italian beer.

#alttext: Map of Europe showing the beer consumption per country, in liters/person/year. Central European countries clock in around 100 liters, with the Czech Republic at 128 liters. France and Italy have 33 and 31 liters respectively.

Two fluffy kittens sitting together in a decorative bucket. One kitten is predominantly white with blue eyes, while the other has a darker face with similar blue eyes. They are nestled together, with the bucket placed on a wooden deck beside a brick wall.

Die untere Hälfte des Bildes wird gefüllt von einer Dachfläche mit größtenteils schwarzen, weißen, grünen, gelben und braunen Dachziegeln die im vorderen Teil großen Rauten bilden, weiter oben am Dach ein Wappen mit Adler (nur schwer erkennbar) Im oberen Bildteil ist eine gotische Turmspitze mit vielen Fialen zu sehen. Am rechten Rand ein höher gelegenes Dach, die Firstseite mit Ziegeln in braun mit gelben und grünen Streifen verziert.

Anemonemania

4 photos of wooden anemones (anemone nemorosa).

Read #AltText for descriptions of the photos.

A vertical image of an anemone nemorosa standing in the forest, it has its back against the camera. The surroundings are blurry with some brighter spots at the upper left and right side and at the low part. All those brigher spots are flowers out of focus. The flower stands at the center at the upper third of the image.

Another vertical image of an anemone nemorosa flower in bloom and it is placed at the bottom right side of the image. It is turned a bit to the up and left and are surounded by darker blur with almost no structures or variation.

A third vertical anemone nemorosa flower is standing a the low part of the image. Its leaves are reminding of arms greeting the light above, which is shining down in the center of the image, down to the flower. The petals of the flowers make a shape as a basket and on one of the petals a drop of rain is resting.

And the last vertical image of anemone nemorosa flowers. The flowers are at the upper third of the image, almost standing in a row, but only one of them is in focus and that one is staning a bit to the right of the center. This image i a bit brighter than the other three, more gray than black and of course it is blurry.

Wist jij al dat je tot 22 april door heel Nederland en Vlaanderen gratis inheems bloemzaad op kunt halen via voerdebijbij.nl, voor de nationale zaaidag op 22 april? Wie weet sta je dan ineens bij mij voor de deur, want ik ben dit jaar ook weer “voedselbank voor de bijen”

Promotional image for the non-profit The Pollinators. Computer drawn image of yellow, white and pink flowers and a bumble bee on a green background, with over it in black print (English translation below): stop met doemscrollen, ga bloemscrollen - voerdebijbij.nl/bloemscrollen - #bloemscrollen. Translation: stop doom scrolling, start bloom scrolling (actually flower scrolling, as bloem is the Dutch word for flower, but then you miss the pun) followed by their website and hashtag

A fluffy white and gray kitten with striking blue eyes is sitting on a windowsill. The window is open, and natural light is illuminating the kitten's soft fur. The background is slightly blurred, suggesting an outdoor scene visible through the window.

Someone on here mentioned an app to track your ceramics work and although the mentioned app is not available in my region, I found ClayLab and I’m over the Moon! I’ve spent most of yesterday filling it wil everything I’ve made so far (I started weekly lessons in May 2024) including which clay was used, which glazes, when I made it, when I glazed it, when it was done, where it went (at home, gifted, sold, broken) etc etc. I love it when a #hyperfixation is so very useful

#adhd #autism #audhd #ceramics #pottery #ClayLab Image description in #AltText

A screenshot of the app ClayLab that’s on dark mode, so background is black. At the top the white bold title “My Pieces”, with below it a vertical list in smaller white font of drop down options “Formed: 5, Trimmed: 0, Bisqued: 4, Glazed: 3, Finished: 63”. The Finished drop down has been opened, showing my last two makes; a small orange coffee cup and a pink rectangle soap dish with a droopy corner so the water can flow off into the sink. All the way at the top of the screen on the left in red the word “Edit” and top right also in red “New Piece”. At the bottom the three menu items “My Pieces, Search, Settings” where the first one is red and the other two are grey.

I will never feel even adequate as a woodworker again

#alttext for video: in a competition setting in Japan, two contestants plane a length of wood. The part that gets shaved off is maybe 2m long, and as thin and transparent as a light veil.
