I think mandating alt-text on Friendica & Mastodon depend in the server? So you may not be able to force-remind yourself, but you should still use #AltText 😀
Just a reminder: pictures with Alt-Text are extra-awesome :) And in case you're sometimes forgetful like I am, pixelfed has an opt-in feature that forces you to add alt text before posting if you enable it :) (navigate to Settings then Media to turn on) #AltText #Accessibility #NatureLove #Happymaking #Capybara
If you don't add alt-text that's useful and accurate enough, Mastodon users won't care which server of what software you're on and what the rules are where you are. (They won't know what software you use anyway.) They will at the very least lecture you about the importance of alt-text, if not out-right attack you as ableist and/or sanction you.
It is due to this and due to the corresponding behaviour of Mastodon users that the Friendica community is slowly discovering that alt-text matters and learning what it is. It had been completely unknown and especially not part of Friendica's culture for almost a decade and a half.

BEAUTIFUL day for a walk.....just stayed in the neighborhood due to schedules, and didn't go too far bc trying not to stress the knees (they were rather upset yesterday), but still quite enjoyed the fresh air and nature #TinyJoy #NatureLove #Happymaking
My wife's out of hospital, I don't have a head full of cold and I've got a new microphone! Let's goooo!Expect the usual looping shenanigans, roosters in chat...
Hey friends, I'm in need of help paying for moving costs due to a series of unfortunate events. If you can donate, I'd appreciate! If you can't, boosting by sharing everywhere is also a huge help. Thank you!

Fell rather behind on posting, but still trying to be mindful, and finding at least one #TinyJoy every day. I'm thankful I've had quite a few (of all sizes) recently. Def helps with all the rocky and rough patches.
Made a screw up this morning, luckily with minimal long-term damage. And even though it threw my schedule a bit off, these daffodils were still ready to brighten things up when I did get going 😊 #NatureLove #RightOutsideTheDoor

Given how their struggles have been increasing, especially the last few months, I should have expected it, but between the world and my own life I had enough other focuses that I rather hoped it'd be a bit longer. Unfortunately I was wrong, and last week failed to make it through Company Downsizing Round #5 😞 Laid off after 18 years, 1 month, 10 days....pretty sure résumé formats have changed just a skosh 😆 So that’s A Thing (and if you know of any opportunities for someone with a good chunk of experience in Supply Chain Admin, feel free to drop a note?)
(yes, at least at the moment doing more okay than expected given Everything. And am get a small severance so fiscally can manage for a bit. And have fantastic family & friends whom I adore). #xapsNextPhase
Hey... just saw this post. I'm so sorry about the layoff. Having been let go after almost 28 years, I know the feeling. I don't have any leads, but if I can help w/ resume pointers or anything, please let me know!

Tasty foods with dear ones is definitely a #TinyJoy (much prettier on the plate, served over some golden spaghetti squash, but we were too busy enjoying to record 😆)
If you have a pet that has a microchip (highly recommended for eligible critters, even indoor-only; things happen) you should make sure you know who it's by/with. Even if it's not with Save Your Pet, this is also a good reminder to verify that your data is up-to-date.

Yesterday started out misty, but cleared nicely. Took a walk in the neighborhood, and made it further down than previously - far enough to see the Olympics
He's the last from their old 4-H project, living the life he wants according to the family (did you know Eddie down the road? His folk) 😀 He really did seem to quite enjoy going out with his 'herd'
Anyway, I hope you had a smooth procedure. I am guessing you will have results from the scan shortly. Kaiser usually delivers my results within 12-24 hours, even on Fridays... but I don't know how typical that is elsewhere.
@BobHorowitz Procedure went fine. My file is marked STAT because the cardiologist needs to sign off on my Monday morning cataract surgery. The surgery center knows about this.
Didn't make it out for walk today, but a major time-sensitive task was accomplished plus talked to my dad and my youngest. And enjoyed a lovely view. #RightOutsideTheDoor #TinyJoy #Sunset

An #arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron.
Today was really really crappy, and seemed determined to remind me why February is often far from my favorite month. And to underscore that in many ways this particular February has had a lot of crap. But did get out briefly for a bit of a walk so yay? Stellar jays, fresh air, nature #TinyJoy
Still trying to pay more attention to finding #TinyJoy every day, even if I don't always share. One of yesterday's was making a very tasty (soda) bread pudding 💙
