A screenshot of my "Quiet Posters" feed -- it has nothing in it, and I'm instructed to follow more accounts. END OF ALT TEXT The whole view seems poignant. I was initially thinking of making a "Quiet Posters" joke with an image of a landscape print or an Ansel Adams poster. Ha, get it... a Quiet Poster. Or maybe something like "Posters don't have mouths lolol" joke. It's also not lost on me that I am a quiet poster by nearly every definition. The jokes and pithy takes don't come to me in the frequency of some of the internet-famous folks who frequent these digital halls. Alas, it's not my gift. Even deeper, who will be viewing this alt text? This is a hyper-quiet way to make a random ephemera post. At worst -- in the rare chance that my quiet-postin self has a single follower who uses a screen reader, this blog of text will only ruin their accessible web experience. Maybe. Maybe this will be a joke specifically for that one person.
