Dernier texto reçu: "Bouffay est vide comme un 24 dĂ©cembre" : le quartier a Ă©tĂ© noyĂ© de #lacrymo encore une fois. Et encore une fois une partie des commerçant-e-s vont forcer vers l'extrĂȘme droite pour incriminer les manifs & la "mairie de gauchos" (sic)

Folks--here's my semi-regular call to use alt-text in your social posts. It's good to include your low-vision friends & your friends whose bandwidth doesn't allow them to access pictures via the internet in your posts.
Here's a good explainer from @GendoWasRight: howtogeek.com/821673/what-isâŠ
Here's a wonderful extension from @ActiveB1t that will show you what's alt-texted on twitter and what isn't: abitofaccess.com/alt-or-not
Some background first:
"a11y" stands for "accessibility" (making things accessible to people with disabilities).
The "11" represents the eleven letters in between the "a" and the "y" in the longer word.
Hence, #SaveA11yBots is shorthand for "Save accessibility bots"!

You might ask "So⊠who are the accessibility bots in #SaveA11yBots?"
Great question, curious reader!
They are any automated Twitter accounts that exist as a public service to make some aspect of Twitter more accessible to people with disabilities.

1/ Here's a quick #COVID update - I prepare a weekly report for my college so I thought I should share a broad overview (with #AltText)
VARIANTS: BA.5 continues to have increasing dominance over other variants, representing ~ 9 in 10 new cases
VARIANTS: BA.5 continues to have increasing dominance over other variants, representing ~ 9 in 10 new cases
2/ REPORTED CASES: Though a significant underestimate of actual circulating infections, it is clear that reported cases are down in most areas in the US.
Florida is down 31% relative to two weeks ago (now to ~7,000 cases per day).
Florida is down 31% relative to two weeks ago (now to ~7,000 cases per day).
3/ WASTEWATER DATA: The decrease in reported cases in Florida is supported by Biobot Analytics data in 6 large counties over the past 6 weeks.
1. I'm still waiting for an update of the Community Transmission levels needed to run my typical risk levels analysis, but here's where we'll be with the hospital-based measures.
2. Here's how things have changed from last week.
Blue is improvement
Red is worsening
Gray is no change

Red is worsening
Gray is no change
3. Another way of looking at the change in levels from last week
1. Here's where we stand as of June 2 on the two @CDCgov measures of county-level risk.
LEFT: hospitalization-based measure
RIGHT: transmission-based measure
A recap 𧔠on how things are changing nationally and then in my home state, FL.
I finally remembered to use #alttext!

2. Transmission is still pronounced with only 2% of Americans living in a county that is not classified as "substantial" or "high" level of transmission.
3. Here are those same weekly trends, but instead of national totals, this is by state (% of population living in various level transmission areas)
This video shows transmission levels changing March 15-May 5, 2022. While there was a brief lull in March, the Northeast begins turning red in early April and by the end of April, high levels have spread across the country. drive.google.com/file/d/1ROeRPIâŠ
#alttext: Video shows counties with high transmission (red) sparse & mostly in coastal states starting in March 15, with most counties in the low (blue) or moderate (yellow) ranges. In late April, many more counties become substantial (orange) and high (red).
Overall, this means that over half of Americans - 57% - are living in a county with high transmission, up from 49% last week. Another 22% are living in an area of substantial transmission.
For journalists covering the Ukraine news: A lot of this story involves visuals, like timelines of events, maps, and photos of scenes unfolding. That is all useful information that helps explain complex topics. All of those images need alt text. All of them.

Please don't hide that info from people who cannot see it, or from people who will be able to better process it by listening to it while looking at it, too. If you add the information to alt text, people using screen readers will be able to get the same information.
Twitter makes it possible for you to add alt text to the images you tweet. If you need a reminder, or never knew this, then this link has the details for you.

Was one of your resolutions to learn more about web accessibility for people with disabilities? You're in luck: I'm making a 2022 thread for people who would like to learn more about accessibility. I plan to add tips and resources throughout 2022.

2/x The word a11y is a numeronym using numbers to shorten words. This shortens "accessibility" to "a11y," with the 11 representing the 11 letters between a and y.
On Twitter and LinkedIn, #a11y can be used to find several helpful accessibility resources.

3/x If you feel like you don't know what you don't know about accessibility, then it can help to follow people who tweet a lot about it. I've put together a list of people who tweet about it a fair amount of the time, if not most of the time.

đVaccine Updates, a threadđ§”
Yesterday we received a regional vaccine report from Kate Schroder, who is acting as Special Advisor to Vaccine Coordination for the @HCollaborative. Our Office wanted to share this information with the public so that you know as much as we do!

1/ Progress to date:
59,000 people have initiated the vaccination process (7.2% of the pop.) in Hamilton County. 824,000 people have initiated the vaccination process (7.05% of the pop.) in Ohio [you can find more on Ohio at the link below].

How to write alternative text #AltText for #images and visual objects
Â
Describing an image in just a couple of sentences to someone may sound challenging, but it is really important in terms of making your document or webpage #accessible.
Weâll be sharing some tips to help you!
Â
Describing an image in just a couple of sentences to someone may sound challenging, but it is really important in terms of making your document or webpage #accessible.
Weâll be sharing some tips to help you!
Tip #1: Keep it concise and unambiguous. #AltText should be no longer than 1 or 2 sentences. For more detailed visuals this may need to be longer!
Tip #2: #AltText should be descriptive and specific. Consider what is important about an image. For example, important context may be the setting, the emotions on people's faces, the colours, or the relative sizes.
