okay so i think ive have captured why i am so enthusiastic about alt text. it is a translation for someone who would not have otherwise understood the joke. you are allowing someone else in on a medium they otherwise would have no access to. you are opening the door for them and saying come in and listen to the joke as well. and it takes almost no extra effort on my part!! what a return on investment!! i get to make a small action mean something potentially beautiful or hilarious to someone. what else could you want? no one could ever possibly see these words i am currently typing if i did not have access to a computer. it would simply not be possible. personally I cannot and could not hand write at this speed and ease and then have it read in almost real time to potentially many people all without ever opening my mouth or leaving my couch at any other point in history. that is incredible and i want as many people as would like to, to be included in that thought, in that joke, in that beauty. The internet can be a beautiful interconnected web of minds under the right settings and i think we take for granted how beautiful it can be sometimes, or at least i do. it’s so normal now but was unthinkable not that long ago. we evolved a totally new mycelial network. the world, talking to itself, damn. like a brain with nerves, electrical impulses even. that’s fucking rad as hell. the earth is a body. i think that book changed my entire vision of the earth? anyhow i got veeeery sidetracked there. but it was a true inner monologue brought to text with very little filter or revision hahah, please enjoy. yes i am quite high so many apologies if this makes no sense what so ever
