secretslothThis feels like a perfect illustration of why I don't boost posts without alt text. I don't bother saying anything, I assume if they've been here awhile, they have heard it and seen it - they just won't get boosts from me. I'm happy to help add alt text for you if you can't do it (sometimes I have those days, too. But if this reaches folks who are choosing not to add it because they don't care, please reconsider. This is what your posts looks like to a lot of folks. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/UseAltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UseAltText</a>

Bin Chicken 🗑𓅠Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.This picture was originally posted by someone else on Mastodon without Alt-text, so I have liberated it and added Alt-text.<a href="https://rants.au/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Zelensky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Zelensky</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Zelenskyy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Zelenskyy</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/MarkLatham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarkLatham</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/PaulKeating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PaulKeating</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/JohnHoward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnHoward</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltText</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/UseAltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UseAltText</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/JeffBezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JeffBezos</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a>

The calls come as case numbers surge, reaching a recent peak of 1946 new cases weekly in aged care on January 12 compared with 618 in on October 1. “What is happening partly is the relaxation of the pandemic phase back to a kind of normal reaction phase has meant a difference in both aged-care providers responding and in the expectations of families and staff.” Mr Sadler said. “Many facilities have relaxed mask wearing but you have to consider the disease has definitely not gone away.” Ms Wells said ail deaths because of Covid-19 were a “tragedy” but noted that mortality in aged care from the virus had dropped from 33 per cent in 2020 to 1.7 per cent. She called for all older Australians to get their boosters, saying it was “the easiest, least fusstest way to stay protected from Covid-19”. "Fourth screenshot:" Opposition health spokeswoman Anne Ruston said vaccination rates among agedcare residents had plummeted to “worrying lows” and “no action has been taken by the government to ensure residents can appropriately protect themselves from the virus”. Senator Ruston said there were now more Covid deaths in aged care in the first eight months of the Albanese government than the entire first two years of the pandemic. “It is tragic to see that the number of Covid-related cases and deaths in aged-care homes have doubled since October, and yet we have heard nothing from the government about what they are doing to support the sector through this summer wave,” Senator Ruston said.

:neuro: Pixy's Journey :v_bi:TL;DR I won't boost without alt texts. And sometimes I boost without checking Alt texts. 😔 I've been following some awesome people since I started my new account here. 😊 And some followed me and that's awesome as well, thanks for that! :blobcatdance:Some of you awesome Tooters have shared great pictures! And I would love to boost them! But...I'm a silly Pixy that likes images and videos to have an Alt text. Not just "screenshot from game X" or "sunset", but a but more information would be nice. I don't always see the alt texts, so sometimes I do boost when I see some Alt is included. But no Alt text means no boost, sorry!Some dear friends depend on screen readers. And I don't want to exclude them in the toots I share. So if I liked your image but didn't boost and you didn't have any Alt text... That could be a reason. Or maybe I just liked it. 😇And I sorry to my screen reading friends if I missed the alt text and boosted something with an alt text that didn't make sense. Sometimes I don't have the spoons and I'll just boost when I see the image in my app that means "alt text provided". I'm trying to be inclusive but yeah, sometimes I fail.
