Going to #AltText this because it's making the rounds and so far no one has.

@rubenbolling stole this for #alttext

Imagine seeing this with no alt text. “fruit sniffer”? a capri-sun?

Thankfully, we actually did write the alt text.

I have done things! Things! I somehow managed to find decent focus and get through work, which, win. And then I got my hair washed, which I didn't expect to pull off today. Now I'll be human-passing when I see the piercer on Friday. Hopefully. I'm still recovering from *last* Friday, though I'm feeling more human with each day that passes.

Btu yes, piercing... I need to think a bit about precisely where I want the eyebrow piercing to go. Right side like my lip ring, yes, but precisely where on the brow? I don't have the darkest brows, and I don't wear make-up. I'm thinking at the highest point, but maybe a smidge beforehand. I'll ask friends what they think, and of course, the piercer. A part of me still wonders if I should do a double, but I haven't gotten that far, ha ha.

What else... got to meet youngest's form tutor yesterday for next school year, and we deem him our sort of weird. All the kids reported that he had a 'huge' picture of himself, and indeed, he had *a* picture of himself on the wall. He explained that since he'd only just started at the school back in January, and kids kept asking him about his past, he figured he'd put a little biography and picture on the wall. He also confirmed that Littler was very chatty and helpful; she might have a super-severe stutter, but she does not let it stop her in the slightest.

@LoganFive I’ll put my writing skills to use
To make #AltText that rivals Seuss
A picture here, a picture there
My AltText will rhyme everywhere

Also ich sehe hier nur etwas auf die Fahrbahn aufgepinselte Farbe, wieso feiert der Adfc das? Ausserdem fehlen die Alttexte. Ach nein, blinde fahren ja gar kein Fahrrad, die geht das ja gar nichts an.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is

MAPLE PROMINENT
ptilodon cucullina

As its name suggests, its larvae live on Field Maple and Sycamore. We have a #Sycamore next door, so I get MANY moth types for whom this is their foodplant.

A wood mimic, it tries to resemble a piece of bark or wood chipping to avoid detection.

I want open file formats with alt-text metadata that are compatible with most Fediverse software:
Upload an image or video to Mastodon, Pixelfed or whatever, that has alt-text metadata and it will automatically display the alt-text in the Fediverse.
Download the file and it will keep the alt-text.

Bonus: A metadata field for Fediverse creator. So people can download and repost media files and they will display the original creator just like Mastodon can do with link previews.

EDIT: In the replies we've gathered so far:
* There is an existing issue for Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/14903 (I don't open Microsoft GitHub™, so I didn't read it)
* PNG and probably many other file formats already have appropriate metadata tags that could be used.
* Fedi devs have to agree on one way to implement this -> #FEP
* While uploading a file you should be able to edit or replace the metadata alt text with your own alt text and then be able to choose whether you want to replace the file's metadata or not (So your post can display the alt text that is specifically relevant to your post, while the file can be downloaded with a more general alt text).
