I have good-enough vision (read: I wear glasses) and have no issues reading text in images and I still use image descriptions all the time when I see posts

Sometimes they can help clarify the joke, sometimes they add extra layers of humour you might have missed, sometimes you just don't get something

Image descriptions aren't just for people who use screen readers, they're for everyone

As it turns out, accessibility helps us all

becoming 130% girl, more girl than any cis girl can be

actually it's only a city if it has a robust public transit infrastructure that allows you to get to any point in the city without using a car. otherwise it's a sparkling suburb

if your idea of a "catgirl" is "human with cat ears and maybe tail", then i am banishing you to the Boring Corner

Hi I'm Bea and I'm working towards updating all my IDs!

This is long overdue for me (been on HRT for about 5 years now) but my circumstances have kept me from pursuing this until now

I'm both a US citizen and Canadian resident so it's a particularly arduous process. My goal for this is to raise $450.

Getting help with this would mean the world to me :trans:

breakdown of expenses below, boosts appreciated

still thinking about software and abuse patterns 

...it's expected, as a design best practice, that designers should seek to control the users' actions. It's expected that designers will pick out the things they want the users to do - connect Facebook accounts, enter phone numbers, buy microtransaction currencies, et cetera and so on - and make it easy to do those things and difficult to avoid doing those things. It's likewise expected that designers will pick out things they want the users not to do - block ads, delete their account, close the standalone app outright instead of just shrinking to taskbar - and make those things difficult to do.

And "easy" and "difficult" here mean operationally but also /emotionally/. Pleading, guilt-tripping, badgering, pestering, misleading ... if the designer wants it, the designer can do anything that isn't blatantly illegal to try to get it out of the user.

That's abuser logic.

That's an abuser thought process and it produces abusive behavior.

@ trans femmes 

I cannot fathom why any cis guy wouldn’t transition given the chance honestly. Things could be so much better!

It's valentine's day and you should ask me out because I'm gay and cute

Selfie, ec, boosts and compliments++

someone: robots........
me: nodding in agreement
someone: that are women
me: visibly excited
someone: and love other women
me: hooting and hollering

A gentle reminder that "trap" is a slur that implies that trans women are "really men" and are deceiving straight men into being attracted to them, and that using "trap" to refer to trans people tells us that you can't be trusted. #themoreyouknow
