#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.

#ScribesAndMakers 2503.20 — Do you like graffiti? Do you have an example?

Yes. When it's not lifeless scrawl little better than dogs peeing to mark their territory, yes. Love it. It is one of the most dynamic ephemeral art forms today. A real fan of Banksy. I'm always photographing good examples when I find it. I even created some for a cover art for a story that had "Gangsters" in the title.

The second image is tall buildings downtown LA that ran out of money. It's orthographically interesting if not only a strange marker of our societal decay.

The first image is some of the wall art they may be on purpose, or encouraged. Tap #altText for more.

A black highly textured humpback whale the size of a SUV is shown painted on a stucco wall. Paint drips are part of the artist's signature. An adjacent wall of place with purple ice layers of dripping paint, purple over blue.
Half constructed abandoned glass high rise apartments in downtown LA visible miles away. Enormous floor height letters are painted like neon signs. The letter are colored in, some blockish. Remarkable and pathetic.
