The Fediverse has altered my brain, because as soon as I see an image I want to share, I start mentally formulating alt text (I did have to search to find out who the bottom middle is supposed to be because that did not read as Buffy at all).
I have discovered that I really like image descriptions.
I like reading other people's image descriptions because they can help me contextualize or interpret the image, and I actually like writing them too. Often I'll notice things that I didn't before or it will help me understand what I find interesting or significant about something I'm sharing.
I also feel a sense of accomplishment when I write a description for a complex image because that takes work, and I feel proud of it. 😁
