It is also absolutely fine if you can't or don't want to describe every image. Blind people on the fedi have made this clear from Day 1. They are not, nor have they ever, demanded that anyone do something impossible or highly unpleasant.

However, as seen upthread, image descriptions are always possible for *someone*. Some (like me) even find it a fun activity that helps polish our writing skills. This is why you should ask for help if you find it hard to describe an image! Self-sufficiency is a harmful myth anyway, you absolutely do not have to do everything for and by yourself.

You can, for instance, use resources like @imagecaptionspls to ask people subscribed to that group for help with captioning. You can also CW undescribed images explaining the image is not described, letting screen reader users know to move on. These are just two of the ways you can deal with captioning difficulties, and none of it involves being an ableist dick about image descriptions.
