So like, IDK how to do this. I ask for descriptions, and many, many of you are amazing at it. I don't mean necessarily that you always write perfect descriptions! It's the fact that you make the attempt, and even write me a half-assed description that makes little sense to me...

...you are remembering to be inclusive, and normalizing the behavior. So I am happy to see even the bad descriptions.
But then there are people who I have had this conversation with before, personally. Like, on voice chats. They used to describe.
Then they stop.

I ask, occasionally, when a particular tweet or fb post of theirs interests me, and someone else does it for them. (To be clear, this is no specific person, this is many, many people in my life over years)

But I get really, really tired of asking the same exact people over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
It always erodes friendships. I become that "naggy blind chick" always asking for fucking descriptions.
It's sooooooo much work.

So I stop asking, and I get bitter.
Or I keep asking, and I'm annoying.
Even if I'm not annoying... all the work is on me. Always. To ask.
What if I'm too tired that night to put in the emotional labor of asking.
For the 17th time in a row.

I'm not talking to you, if you've been faithfully, or even frequently adding descriptions.
I'm not talking to you if this is the first time you've heard that you can add alt text.

But I could, if I wanted, call out at least 15 ppl off the top of my head who know and don't bother anymore. Unless I ask. And I'm tired of asking.
And it irritates me so much more TBH when it's *this* community. We're fighting for equity and inclusivity for fuck sake.
