I couldn't think of a better place where to take a portrait with my new, awesome @Mastodon t-shirt that reads: "I write #AltText" : the Louvre Museum, in front of the painting "The Battle of David and Goliath" by Daniele da Volterra.

And may I share an ambitious goal with you?
I want to start advocating for the Louvre Museum to join the Fediverse (they're currently on all Big Tech social platforms only). Let's see what I can do 🤗
"I Write Alt Text" - Unisex T-Shirt - French Navy
An organic cotton t-shirt with a great feel, screen printed in 5 vibrant colors. Writing alt text for images and videos helps people with low or no vision participate in the community.Mastodon

Good luck.

Caucasian = either someone from the Caucasus region (not, typically by today's categories, a white person) or a white person under one of a handful extraordinarily racist categories.
You can just say white, if that's a useful detail!

Unknown parent • • •Oh it's awful when they miss out because of sickness. We had to abandon a vacation on the second day when my son was sick. Didn't get a refund at all, despite holiday insurance.
Looking at the prices, Louvré appears to be €95 for a solo membership... €150 for two? That's extremely good value if you visit it a few times!
Wow, that line skip must have felt awesome lol

You're right, the picture is the perfect background for you.
Good luck with the Louvre.

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Great! May they listen to you and learn how to write alt text. 😁
It would be so easy for them to have at least automated content. And hey, they could join that French instance reseauculture.fr/about for #culture and #museums!
@parismusees has already an account. And perhaps @ChristineDebray could be a helpful contact?

Unknown parent • • •If - sorry once - the Louvre joins, I think others will want to join too. It is considered the premier European museum (not sure I agree, but it is).
So I hope you are successful. I feel that the fedi has a lot of artistic people, who would appreciate some of the great museums across Europe.

A Tipp:
Post your Toot to someone, or many, who have a lot of followers in the fediverse and also have an account at one of the BigTechBros sites.
If they will share your post, I would bet they will, you can reach a lot of people at the BigTechDungeons.

I’ve just stocked up with Mastodon merchandise for the summer to sprinkle widely to raise awareness of Mastodon in Wales 🏴 and the UK too ❤️

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Quand les journaux vendent de la publicité, ils ne manquent pas de présenter un kit media qui décrit leur publication, ligne éditoriale, nombre de copies, etc.
Ils présentent aussi un portrait de leur lectorat. Revenu moyen, niveau d'éducation, etc, car certains profils démographiques sont plus intéressants pour les annonceurs.
En présentant Mastodon, que pourrait-ton dire de la faune qui le peuple? Définitivement plus techno. Niveau de scolarité plus élevé?

Unknown parent • • •As you can imagine, it all starts with #freesoftware, and in our case, #publicpolicy. #Tainacan began as a tool for publishing #digitalcollections and, over 10 years, became part of Latin America’s open cultural digital infrastructure. As a #WordPress plugin, it helped low-budget institutions adopt it easily—and now it’s attracting larger #museums too. Our current focus is bringing digital collections into #theFediverse.

Once installed the plugin can fastly import collections from different sources, organize the metadata, and pull out amazing different web presentations with WordPress templates adapted to Tainacan. The new Fediverse #curation feature opens the possibility to select directly from the collection and build threads for scheduled publishing on the Fediverse, like that:
