SO! A lovely comment informed me that what I write at the end of my posts;
"ID text above and below as always. :)",
was literally unusable since screen readers can't read it out because the text was in subscript! So people who use screen readers won't know where to look for the ID text since it isn't being read.
I didn't know! Super sorry about that. Fixed it in all of my posts with my art.
The commenter was kind enough to send me this post showing what screen readers can and can't pick up. I wanted to make my own post to spread awareness, link it to my pinned, and inform those to choose to add ID text to their art or anything else on this hell site.
I'm repeating a bit from that post while also adding a bit more. Just to have a more in-depth list. List is below the read more! :D
WHAT SCREEN READERS CAN READ:
Regular Text
Bold Text
Italic Text
Bold and Italic Text
Indented
Bulleted Lists
Numbered LIsts
WHAT SCREEN READERS CAN'T READ:
Cursive Text (Lucille)
[PT: Cursive Text (Lucille)]
BIGGER TEXT
[PT: BIGGER TEXT]
BIGGEST TEXT
[PT: BIGGEST TEXT]
subscript AKA small text
[PT: subscript AKA small text]
𝓬𝓸𝓹𝔂 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓹𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝔁𝓽 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓼𝓲𝓽𝓮𝓼
[PT: copy and paste text from other sites]
zubzituting wordz with numb3rzs or "incorr3ct" l3tt3rz. lik3 s to z and e to 3.
[PT: substituting words with numbers or "incorrect" letters like s to z and e to 3.]
WHAT I'M UNSURE OF BUT WOULD STILL AVOID AND OR ADD PLAIN TEXT BELOW:
Quote
[PT: Quote]
I'm sure quote goes in this category since it's similar to Lucille and copy and paste fonts.
Chat
[PT: Chat]
Chat is roughly the same size as regular font and is a well known font - it being Consolas - so it SHOULD BE READABLE. But knowing this site it probably isn't. And it's similar to superscript.
Strikethrough
[PT: Strikethrough]
VERY unsure about it since it's regular text with a line in the middle but just in case!!!!
---
This doesn't mean you're held back from adding your own flare and pizzazz to your posts! Simply add plain text [PT] Like I've demonstrated above!
Also be careful with how many punctuation marks or emoji's you use. For punctuation, no more than three "---". Same thing for for emoji's, screen readers will read out every single one. Like if you have five heart emoji's (♥) it'll read like: "Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart." Screen readers can glitch out if something is repeated a bunch or not formatted correctly.
I have also seen people on here reblog art, images, videos, etc. and add ID Text in their reblog with their own time! TO ADD TO THAT if you want to add ID text but unsure how to word it and or don't have the means to- you can go the extra mile and put accessibility request, transcription request, or image description request in the tags.
And hey, there's no pressure to do any of this. If all you do is share this for awareness then it's all right in my book. This hell site needs to be more accessible. Hell- the world needs to be more accessible.
I've been doing some extra research as I wrote this so I hope it covers everything! I'll update this post as I learn more.
Like that lovely comment PLEASE let me know if I need to add or correct anything in this post and or in my descriptive texts!

The friend/relationship dynamic of me and everyone I interact with
[Image ID: A drawing of two stick figures smiling at each other. One is labeled "the one who can't spell" and has the dialogue "htat is so treu, I ahve ot go ill brb, and you know what I mena". The other figure is labeled "the one who knows what they mean anyway" with the dialogue "okay" /End ID]
[ID starts: digital drawing that has two signature on the top left and the bottom right. The first being: @sunnyartistwriter the second being: #arrassam kama
In the foreground, you have a dark green robot part. In the midground you have Lou Jitsu hovering over the mutated baby turtles. Lou Jitsu worriedly looking down to where they're scattered on the tiled ground disoriented. The pink tiles cast a pink shadow on Lou Jitsu and the turtles while also causing a slight pink glow on the robot debris.
Finally, on the background there are two small neon green and neon blue waves in front of a clouded starless night. There is a green light source on the left that casts a glow on Lou Jitsu head.
ID ends]
Don't mind the weird color, weird effects and weird light. I'm trying things. Also, this took me hours. At some point, drawing blindness started to mess with me.

Some of my hermitcraft doodles featuring my design for Potato Boy :)
[Id: three images of hand drawn pencil sketches on white sketchbook paper. First one is zoomed out to show the whole page with 4 doodles on it.
There is a sketch of mumbo-jumbo from hermitcraft standing next to a series of squared with signs saying 'potato boy' and 'tater vendor' on it. Mumbo is tall and wearing a suit, he has both his hands up to make thumbs up, and he has a piece of paper with a potato on it.
On the same page there is a closer up drawing of mumbo from the shoulders up. He's wearing a suit and a tie, under a paper with a drawing of a potato with thw words 'potato boy', he has a black handle bar mustache and hair.
Still on the same page there's a drawing of 4 boats stacked on top of one another above a crafting table with a drop below it. There is the writing 'the boatem pole above it with sparkles.
The last drawing is a stack of trees on top of one another with a small silhouette of a person looking up with their hand on their head.
The next image is a zoom in on drawing 1 and the next image is a zoom in on drawing 2. /End id]
