   I would like to post here more but the folklore content I share is usually pretty image heavy and the task of doing all the alt text feels really overwhelming, so I often end up not having the time (or energy) to post. Then I realise that I should really be doing alt text on the other site as well, which makes me feel guilty and like I'm a bad person. So basically I start to associate coming here with feeling bad. I'm not looking for solutions. I really am hoping to share more. I am trying.

     Completely understand. I have found I post less on my joint account with my spouse because of alt text. But I know it means a lot to the people who need it so I try to push through. It means that either a) I have to do a post on the computer so I can type it or b) I use the generator on my app on the phone (I use @IceCubesApp and the generator is a lifesaver). My advice is do alt text, but don’t try to be perfect. Even short and succinct or concise is fine.

     And ignore the scolds. They are annoying but I try to remember that their hearts are in the right place. And if they get too annoying there is always a block button - LOL.

     Keep up the great work! :)

     @seanbala thanks so much for your kind words and advice. Unfortunately I think the icecubes app is apple only and I have android. I wonder if there is an equivalent?

     @seanbala thank you, I think I'll definitely take a bit of pressure off myself to be perfect. 😊
