Alt text: A picture of an older smiling white man with long curly white hair is holding his jacket open, revealing a vest, tie and a gold medal around his neck. The text reads: In 2013, Brian May of Queen bought 157 acres of land that was about to be developed into buildings. He planted trees with the help of volunteers and restored it into a thriving woodland. The area is called "May's Woodland" and has over 100,000 trees growing there.

Please don't post pictures with text without transcribing the text. Blind people cannot read thus post.

Sorry, ideally I would but don't have the time so it is either a picture without text or no post. Vision impaired people aren't catered to either way so I have not inconvenienced them by posting.

Soon enough bots will do it for us.

Thank you for sharing this tool, it's a new thing to me. I've been working on incorporating the inclusion of image descriptions into my regular practice (such as adding alt text for images I share in group chats, not just posts that I intend to share more widely). I appreciate your suggestion here - it looks like it will be useful in making that more of a reliable habit

Then please delete your post. You're doing harm.
