masto question image description
What's best practice for adding image descriptions?
Twidere lets me add a caption to an image but doesn't let me see the caption (or at least not intuitively). Is that because I don't use a screen reader? In any case I guess it's not reasonable to assume everyone who benefits from descriptions uses a screen reader.
I've seen people put the description in the text. Is that an unambiguously better way?
Are there any alternatives?
Genuinely really important thing I heard tonight: experienced comrade said that the thing she's seen destroy movements most frequently is misogyny. specifically, femme comrades being pigeonholed into gendered work that is critical to holding spaces up (e.g. secretarial work) but isn't valued. when they bail because of this, shit inevitably crumbles.
Tangentially-related observation:
Also catching people claiming the desire for non-hierarchical and horizontal structures as being the problem for, like, what's happening right now because "that didn't stop anything."
Yeah, okay.
Just say you don't like anarchists, don't want to work with us, don't want to even try those tactics (because you definitely haven't), and move on.

#antifa on twitter is a delusional place right now - a window into the maga mind. One sane comment was 'half the right wing are all "IT'S ANTIFA FALSE FLAG" the other half are "IT'S ME"!
Did you know that if this crowdfunding campaign fails i'm going to join leave anarchism and join some other sect? https://www.firefund.net/belarus #Belarus #Solidarity SUPPORT BELARUSIAN ANARCHISTS. NOW OR NEVER!
It's only okay to use derogatory race words if you are the target (eg black people can say n*****). So why do so many people think it's okay for men to rap about women using derogatory language?
The worst thing wasn't the pain but not being able to use earphones, so I had to listen to my workmate's shitty music all day.
