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 🤗

A vertical photo showing yours truly (a Caucasian woman with long brown hair) standing in front of the painting "The Battle of David and Goliath" in the Grande Gallerie of the Louvre Museum. I am wearing a navy cardigan, navy wide leg pants and the Mastodon t-shirt "I write alt text"

"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.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're yelling at a person on Fedi for not using #AltText, stop. Please.

Should you use alt-text? Yes!

Should you boost posts without alt-text? No!

Should you yell at companies and bots who don't use alt-text? Fuck yeah!

Should you try your best to make Fedi a more accessible, and safe place for everyone—including those who have trouble writing alt-text? Of course.

Should you mention @altbot or #Alt4Me *occasionally* so folx know they're both wonderful tools that can help make Fedi a more inclusive place? It would be impolite not to.

But—and let me make this clear—don't be a dick to folx who forget alt-text, or who have trouble writing it for whatever reason; it's not very punk of you.

Theater District, Manhattan - 7th Avenue at 53rd Street

It’s wild to see a 10+ block view clear of traffic south to Times Square. The protest march is right behind me. Thousands of people are watching and joining the route from side streets.

A color, wide-angle photograph in portrait orientation that captures a rare, expansive view looking south down Seventh Avenue from 52nd Street toward Times Square. The broad asphalt canyon is strikingly empty of vehicles, cleared for an upcoming protest march. In the foreground, a few scattered pedestrians and a cyclist cross the wide street, while a single black police SUV sits at a red light on the left. In the mid-ground, a dense crowd of people begins to swell, filling the street and sidewalks as they head south. The towering skyscrapers on either side create a deep linear perspective, drawing the eye toward the horizon where the blue sky and soft white clouds peek through the urban corridor. The architecture is a mix of classic stone facades and modern glass towers, many of which are adorned with the vibrant, glowing digital billboards characteristic of the Theater District. On the right, American flags flutter from a building near the "I LOVE NY GIFTS" shop and the Playwright Tavern. Bright yellow traffic lights hang over the empty lanes, their glow contrasting with the cool shadows cast by the buildings. The lighting is crisp and natural, with sunlight hitting the upper stories of the skyscrapers and casting long, soft shadows across the street, emphasizing the scale and temporary stillness of the normally bustling Manhattan thoroughfare.

“The Fifth Horseman,” a single-image cartoon by Joe Heller, dated 2026. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Death, Pestilence, and Famine—wait by a sign pointing to Armageddon. Both they and their horses look resentful and worn down. They’re joined by a fifth Horseman wearing a red baseball cap, Wilful Ignorance, who feigns resignation, and explains: “Hey! This is not what I voted for!”

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May US citizens, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed, and may they one day experience real justice for all the suffering and death they cause.
