This is a close-up, wildlife, black and white photo in landscape format of a lone penguin walking through snow. Graham Land, Antarctica (2024).

To the left of centre is an adult Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarcticus) viewed from the front, at near ground level and walking across the image diagonally from left to right. Our Penguin has a white front and black back. The birds flippers (wings) are white on the undersides with a thin black outline around the edges. The top of the Penguins head is black stretching from the top of the dark beak and above the eyes. There is a distinctive thin black stripe that starts at the back of the head, under the eye and beak and back up the other side: hence the name, Chinstrap Penguin. Surrounding our lone bird is a mass of well trodden (from other Penguins) thick snow, our penguin's large, pale and webbed feet, hardly visible as it hurries towards the sea.

Most adult Chinstrap Penguins range from 68-76 cm tall and weigh between 3.2 and 5.3 kg depending on the season. These penguins are generally considered the most aggressive and ill-tempered species of penguin though this colony seemed happy, sociable and good natured.

The location: The west coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsular.

Two ginger cats are lounging on an ornate, patterned rug in a cozy living room. One cat is stretching out on its side, while the other faces away, lying near the edge of the rug. In the background are a bookshelf, a chair, and a footrest. The room has dark wooden floors.

Four kittens are peeking out from a cozy, arched stone opening. Three of the kittens have black fur, while one has orange fur. They are closely nestled together, intently observing their surroundings.

A fluffy cat with blue eyes is getting wet from a spray of water. The cat has a neutral expression, and its fur appears damp and slightly ruffled. The background is blurred, emphasizing the cat as the main subject.

Das ist das finale Argument gegen Flatearther. Die Erde muss eine Kugel sein, denn wie soll die Statue da reinpassen?

Eine schwarz/weiß Zeichnung, die eine runde Erde darstellt (und mit Earth beschriftet ist), wo unten-links einer der ikonischen Steinstatue-Köpfe der Osterinsel gezeichnet ist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite (oben-rechts), sieht man einen Teil der Stonehenge Säulen in England. Die Orte sind noch beschriftet mit Easter Island und Stonehenge.

Die Erdkugel ist durchgeschnitten, um schematisch ihr Inneres zu zeigen. Ein Körper ist zu sehen, von den Schultern bis zu den Füßen. Dabei sitzt der Kopf von der Osterinsel auf den Schultern und die Stonehenge Säulen bilden die Zehen der Füße. Damit ergibt im Gesamten eine riesige, durch die Erde reichende Statue.

Two tabby cats are cuddled together in a wicker basket lined with a gray blanket. One cat is sitting upright with one eye closed, while the other is lying down, both appearing cozy and relaxed.

Close-up of a fluffy cat with striking blue eyes and a grey and white coat, lying on a soft surface. The focus is on its face, prominently showing its eyes and nose.

@david_chisnall how about #alttext for emojis. I seriously have no idea what half of them mean, or more to the point what the person using them means. We invented alphabets and words for a reason.

@llutz @jeridansky TIL You can press-hold ATL text in a foreign language in the Ivory for Mastodon app and get a translation! 🎉 #ALTtext #ForeignLanguage #Translation

An example: “Ein verwittertes Vogelhäuschen in Form eines Wohnwagen im verschneiten Geäst” means: “A weathered birdhouse in the shape of a caravan in the snowy branches.”

@Michigander @Lorraine Exceptional. And good #AltText too!

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires
"Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

A Capybara and a cat cuddling and seemingly smiling.

@geoff_eg I like your #alttext but it's not really descriptive / helpful for the visually impaired.

Maybe something along those lines could work:
"A photo of a narrow mountain valley. The left and right sides of the picture are framed with steep cliffs. In the middle of the image the end of the valley can be seen. It's a greenish steep rockwall. While the cliffs left and right go fairly straight up the rockwall in the middle tilts right at a 45° angle"
