A note on #AltText: you don't have to provide information that isn't in the picture, or that sighted people wouldn't have. The goal in #accessibility is to *equal* the able-bodied person's experience, but you don't have to exceed it.

Here's a great example: https://normal.style/@sabrina/112764140074481820 The alt text doesn't explain "why batteries?". But it accurately describes the pic! So what if it leaves its reader completely confoozled? I, a sighted user, was *also* completely confoozled by this post. #a11y win! 😁
