#plzfix by adding the text as #ImageDescription.
Oh does this feel like my inner monologue when I post a photo. It is a bummer that it, at times, prevents me from posting more photos, but I hope this make me a little more quality over quantity.
AI certainly can't get inside my brain well enough to write accurate descriptions. Even if it could would I? hmmm.

Currently I can't see any alt text on this image.
#Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text. There are even users who use a css to filter all media without alt text.
@yuriposting so pretty,,
Image description: It’s a digital illustration of a cute noontime scene featuring a lady wearing a white gown and a maid in a long black dress dozing off in a lavish victorian style room. The picture is watermarked “Illust by Rrrrrrice.”
A draft blows from the window sending the curtains billowing toward the lady and her maid with sheer fabric fingers that wrap around them, carrying with it the scent of hickory and currants. Warm rays of sunlight filter in. Having finished reading a book for now, the lady rests in an olive colored high-backed chair with a brown tasseled blanket and cozy white pillow. Her maid, brunette with her hair kept in a bun, is doubled over on a red carpet and pressed against the lady’s legs. She lies her head in her lady’s lap and allows their fingers to intertwine. There is no other option in this situation—this is what must occur.
Precious metal and ceramic furnishings fill the room: china, a clock, and vases resting on the mantel. To the side of the chair is a table holding a porcelain lamp with a tan tasseled shade. On the wall are some candlesticks in gold holders and, of course, there are several portraits on the wall, presumably other members of the house, dressed in fancy clothes, which are held in gold frames.
Overall it has a serene but very wealthy aesthetic to it. Stylistically it has a lot of big blocks of color with most of the detailed rendering concentrated on the focal points like the lady’s face and cascading blonde hair.

RE: https://sakurajima.moe/@yuriposting/114700242549863247
The description you have given is a meter long and frankly (again please forgive my ignorance I know nothing about the blind and how they navigate the web) contains too much details to the point where using a screen reader to listen to this turns into a very boring podcast.
And stuff like the text not being legible. I don't know how you read that text cause I am unable to read it as well.
It's okay, you don't have to overthink it! Write how you'd describe the image to a friend over the phone.
