What not to do when attempting to recruit people to help you save your own friends from death:

The short version is don’t act like a colonizer. My family has legends about coming to America as immigrants fleeing oppression. They talk about noblemen who stole our pig and lord who didn’t let them marry. My ancestors ran away from being the possessions of the powerful, toward the rumors and promises of freedoms.

But wait, I say
Is there a way
To tell me my alt-text’s ok?

Yep! The tool you seek
Is there under
“Sufficient technique.”
Pick a technique
Fitting your case best
And check it with the
provided tests.

Your failing case. Specifically:”

I’m having a coffee and wondering how to invite everyone I possibly can to share this momentous occasion.

Let me see how far the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines will take me.

#AccessibleCoffee If I let myself get all caught up
In how much there is to ask
And do to include everyone
I’ll never start this task.

I likely won’t get everyone,
But I can include a lot
So in place of wondering why do this,
I ask myself, why not?

So with this new bot that I bought,
I hope I won't lose more of my thoughts In theory, this next tweet’s in thread.
Let’s test it and see if we’re ahead.

Now is a good time to see
About accessibility
To test my setup and see how it runs
And just to make things even more for fun
To live tweet on Twitter
And find all of the things I forgot to consider Again if this thread is not to your taste,
You do not need to let your time go waste
Mute this Convo, and then move along
And don't watch for all that I find is wrong
