@JordanPeele I want so much to like this movie and there's so many great elements to it but the Haywards are terrible horsemen. No horsemen would leave their horses behind with a monster like that on the loose. The lack of care for the horses kept pulling me out of the movie.:-(

Looking for a little excitement? Take a virtual ride on a water slide or a scary roller coaster for switch, touch, mouse & eye gaze. You can even ride a horse, motorbike or racing cars in a virtual race. Free activities here: bit.ly/2Ue2BZl

I often talk about adding alt text to images, but I never actually talk about what makes good alt text, for people who are unsure. So here's my perspective as a sighted person who sometimes uses a screen reader. Tips for writing alt text for images and gifs:
