Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, a light-colored translucent box is used on top of the background images. It was used as a way to make the words accessible, but it's hindering the legibility in a lot of cases.
Describe the solution you'd like
Generate a background image that complies with WCAG a11y standards.
Describe alternatives you've considered
randomized pride flag colored backgrounds masked to lighten them up and allow for AA accessibility
Additional context
Currently using images in the img_bg folder. get_img_for_tweet.py is used to add text to those images.
