@stefan I will usually caption/alt-text images, as I have reminders in place to remember to do it.
The reason it doesn't get done as often as it should, IMO, is that people aren't in the habit of doing it. So making it mandatory in clients would be one possible option, or adding reminders during the posting workflow.
Ooooh 5.6km run/walk, one song on, one song recovery throughout. Managed it all comfortably right up until the very last minute, which was a sprint which defeated me! 51’ 30” exercise to start the day right 😁 #running#fitness

It's like we all decided that imperialism is bad, which it is, so the solution is no one talks about imperial ambitions or power unless it's to insult a bad guy.

The movers mentioned my plants and I completely forgot about that. I have a lot of plants! Can someone advise me on what you might have done if you moved and had a lot of houseplants, some of them very delicate? #moving#plants
@dancinyogi my partner has lots, some houseplants but also some outdoor plants in pots. When we moved we did a dedicated run just for them in a large van. IIRC there were 30-40 of them
U.K. PM Sunak's latest wheeze is to stop local councils from applying 20mph speed limits in built up busy areas, in a bid to win the 'motorists' vote.
