[ID: Screenshot of (1) a tweet by weird medieval guys that reads:

harvesting words, france, 15th century

above an image from an illuminated manuscript that shows a field strewn with Gothic-style letters the size of people's heads, which workers are raking into baskets and tucking into their aprons; and

(2) a quote tweet by Sasha Wilmoth that reads:

early illustration of field linguistics

#something really especially infuriating to me abt these twitter screenshots that have visible vestigial alt text symbols #it's like. oh so the OP bothered to add alt text‚ you just couldn't be bothered to copy it over #and this particular variety of ableist laziness is only visible to sighted people bc‚ again‚ there's no alt text to disclose it's there!#just really feels like being a member of a gross little club i don't want to be part of #having said all that—this image is really fun!!#something really charming always abt medieval whimsy #illuminated #manuscripts
