Do you know what would be lovely? If political parties bothered to #AltText their images so that us #blind people could be included too. Alt Text isn't difficult- describe the picture, name the people in the photo, transcribe the written information.

And last but not least, a very recent achievement... Andrew, has graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in English and Creative Writing! We are all so excited to see Andrew excel in his future career.🌟 #DeafblindAwarenessWeek #RightToBeSeenAndHeard
