One of my favourite podcasts, Talk Description to Me, has returned from their hiatus for a Christmas special | ‘This year, to celebrate the season, we'd like to make this small Christmas offering: a reading of How The Grinch Stole Christmas by the one-and-only Dr. Seuss. But Christine is Christine, JJ is JJ, and this is Talk Description to Me, so in our reading of the classic Christmas tale, a few descriptions of the picture book illustrations have been woven into the text in playful Seussian rhyme!’

@sarahmatthews Thanks for this recommendation. I literally only recently encountered the idea and necessity for #AltText - and as a writer and sighted person (at least with correction) - I find the act of writing visually lucid prose a kind of scintillating challenge. I seriously wonder if there are employers out there looking for writers to do this - or other contexts where I could be employed to generate descriptive prose. If anyone reading this has suggestions - please let me know! #writing

I enjoy the writing challenge too. I also *like* that it slows me down a bit and makes me think about what I am posting.

@parallelarts No idea if this is a thing professionally, I first came across alt text on Twitter where it made my online experience so much better when people take the time to use the feature. I see it as a community effort to include everyone and while writers do it particularly well, all alt text is great
