MODERATORS
Not to mention in this particular case, just posting the text without the image would have both been more inclusive for visually impaired users AND a better experience for everyone else.
I enjoy making the images, but I'll certainly include an ALT text in my next posts ๐
I'll be sure to include the ALT text in my future posts ๐

Thank you
