How do I do good alt text?

This is the hard part. I'll use some examples from D-A grade below (IMO) and I'm not expert.

Share this with people who don't understand accessibility helps them meet their goals.

Also, images and posts cost money to host. Don't forget to support your local Mastodon server, even tiny amounts help! #BuyYourRound #MastodonServer #accessibility

Edit: A reader informs me that screenreaders don't do paragraphs of alt-text just one big lump. So try and be concise!

T/T
Technically alt text: two birds on a branch. Better: A cockatoo with a tiny parrot lodged under its wing. The cockatoo is labelled "Some random Internet admins I never knew existed until 4 days ago, just trying to live their lives." The parrot is labelled me.
Bare minimum: two birds one says "some random Internet admins I never knew existed until 4 days ago just trying to live their lives. The other says me. Best: A sleepy white plumed cockatoo dozes with a tiny orange parrot protectively lodged under its wing. The cockatoo is labelled "Some random Internet admins I never knew existed until 4 days ago, just trying to live their lives." The parrot is labelled me. The meme is about how coming to Mastodon makes you feel taken under the wing of the admins here and how you get to feel safe being yourself as opposed to constantly afraid of being attacked for just existing.
