Post is an imagine with 4 panels: Top title: before you leave the house check you have: panel 1: keys panel 2: wallet panel 3: phone panel 4: the vague sense that you've forgotten something

(I've never made text descriptions before, correct me for points)

mine is Wallet, Keys, Phone, (ear)Buds, Mask, Hat; then i also pick up my backpack that has everything in it that i would need to restart my life from scratch and bring that with me too.

active prescription medication, insurance info, medical records, notarized copies of identifying documents (the originals are in a safe deposit box admittedly), my core set of electronics and their infrastructural bits (chargers, cables, I/O adapters, input devices, batteries, storage, a small fold-up solar panel), basic hygiene supplies, first aid kit, water purification tablets, a mess kit, waterproof matches, a leatherman multitool, 50' of 500lb rated paracord (it's purple! :D), an 8'x10' tarp, my towel (obviously of course) and a thousand dollars of emergency cash in a hidden pouch inside another hidden pouch. (edit: oh right i also have several single serving pouches of jerky in there for emergency nutrition if needed)

it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be so i just kinda lug it everywhere. There's even room for two spare changes of underclothes or one entire extra set of clothes, under and outer, should i bother to bring some.

...

the screaming 20s have been difficult and taught me to be ready to go in a moment's notice ._.

the 1920s were the "roaring 20s" The 2020's ain't "roaring". Maybe I'm wrong to call them the "screaming 20s", maybe I should call them the "wailing 20s" or the "weeping 20s" or perhaps the "whimpering 20s".

be careful. putting all your eggs in one basket & all. someone could easily walk away with such a bag, no matter how diligent you think you are.

They'd have to walk away with my entire torso because I'm wearing it and it gives me counterbalance XD

why would you need a text description when you can just look at the image

Accessibility?

What if you were blind using a screen reader

In addition to what the others already said, sometimes, Lemmy is a little weird and doesn't load (all) images (happened to a lot of images hosted on the db0 instance a few days ago), and alt texts are really helpful when that happens.

I always smack my pockets that my phone and wallet belong to, and I jangle my belt loop my keys usually hang from when I sing my wallet phone keys jam, then I make sure my water bottle is filled up and head out

I made myself a mnemonic: WICK.

It stands for Wallet, Information device (phone), Cup (I have a habit of leaving my cup of coffee places), Keys.

It's very helpful to stand at my front door think "WICK" and know, not just think, I've got all of my essentials.

What if I forget to put on my presentable personality??
