Tips for making posts more accessible to blind people:
-Add text descriptions to images & videos
-Make first letters of hashtag words capitalised, e.g. #DogsOfMastodon
-Don't use long strings of emoji
-Don't do "sarcastic text" with random capitalisations
-If you see #Alt4Me in a post with an image, reply with a description and tag #Alt4You (you can also reply with a description for any post lacking its own alt text)

IF YOU DON'T USE #AltText and describe your images, I won't boost them. If you stole them anyway, and are just sharing Goggle *finds* and random pictures that strike your fancy, I'll do the work for you, and include those with Visual Impairment or other languages to know what this is about.

Robert, I've given you more than the title. Is this ok, or would you have preferred just title and perhaps author?
This is my first go at #Alt4You so I appreciate any feedback.
The book is Blood Debts by Terry J Benton Walker.
Above the title are the words Justice will reign.
The cover shows drawings of a black man in a brown suit holding a skull and a black woman in a blue backless evening dress with gloves. She's holding a candle.
Behind the pair is a full moon on a black background. There are stars on the black background and also on the woman's blue dress.
Below the title is a quote from Chole Gong "Will have you breathless"

ALT descriptive text is used by blind and visually impaired people to understand and process photos and images that they otherwise cannot see. So please add ALT to any images you Toot.
Putting an image into words can be a very creative exercise that forces you to look at images more deeply and then convey their content and meaning in words.

Respond to #ALT4me by replying with the ALT text.
