What is #AltTextTuesday? Every Tuesday (in the Northern / Western Hemisphere) I will be posting an image and asking you how you describe the image to someone who couldn't see it.
Why this is so important? Because everyone should have a fair chance to see what everyone does, and it's also used on websites (if the image can't be loaded).
You can reply with your alt text and I'll give you feedback to improve it.
(This was started on Twitter and I want to continue it here)
I will continue to post on social media like normal. Not because I don't know what is going on in the world, but to provide a small distraction.
No matter what you are feel now, or anytime in the future, know what your feelings are valid.
(I posted this to my Twitter as well but wanted to post it here as same thing applies)
Need something funny to watch? How about a great parody of the song Stacy's mom?
https://invidious.esmailelbob.xyz/watch?v=WANlg297AHU
It is a vertical video, and does have gay references (for those who don't want to watch either of those).
There are subtitles built-in to the video, but it's much better with sound.
What's your recent favourite song parody? I would love to hear it.
International Yoga Day is on June 21st. How would you describe this yoga related photo to someone who couldn't see it?
Big thanks to Yan Krukov who posted this photo on Pexels (https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-meditating-in-a-yoga-class-8436715/)
Have you lost out on a job or other opportunity because you didn't have an active presence on a mainstream social media site (like LinkedIn, Twitter)?
If you want to provide details you are welcome to leave them as a reply.
June is Pride Month, so happy Pride Month for who to choose to celebrate it or support someone who is celebrating it.
How would you describe this pride related photo to someone who couldn't see it?

Poll: how do you open adhesive bandage's (band-aid being one of the big brand names)
There are many ways to do it... If your method isn't listed in the poll then put it as a reply.
World Ocean Day was yesterday (June 7th) (source: http://un.org/en/observances/oceans-day).
How would you describe this picture to someone who couldn't see it? #AltTextTuesday
Unsure what #AltTextTuesday is? See my pinned toot on this and why it's so important.

What happens to the domain of a country (the ending bit - like .com, called TLD) when that country stops existing?
@astralbijection wrote about it on her blog which I highly suggest you check out at https://astrid.tech/2022/04/05/1/dead-tlds/
Have you thought about what could happen to the TLD of your domain if the country stopped existing?
(The website does have Google Analytics on it)
Among many other things, I'm completely fed up of working alone. Posting this one again into the void of the fedi.

Open to anyone in the world as long as you're *good* at #Django and good with English.
DMs open for any questions.
Queer folks and women are encouraged to apply. As a woman myself, I know how much I second guess myself and how many contracts I skip over. We'll teach each other cool things.
No stupid interview processes. We'll just have (1) a chat that will last less than an hour, and, (2) a small live test where we talk and collaborate that is finished in less than an hour.

Note for those in the US and other developed economies: this is simply not lucrative or anywhere even near at par with what you'd get locally. If you've got 15-20 hours a week to kill and make some *additional* $ though, go ahead and apply!
May 30th is National Creativity Day. I hope we all have time to be creative and do something not related to our work.
How would you describe this creative photo to someone who couldn't see it?
Thanks to Rakicevic Nenad for the photo posted on Pexels.
This is your daily reminder that #Tesla and #ElonMusk "groom" reporters to only report the positives of Tesla.

Yet another reason to avoid Tesla.
