There is so much going on in this. Do I like the hair & clothes, the cybre surfing situation or the smol robot dog the most? I can't decide.

if you use the web version of hellbird and are tired of seeing "______ and n others liked this tweet" on your timeline here is an adblock/ublock rule i came up with which seems to do the job

tbh I'd probably really like a show about a wizard trying to learn to be a witch (not in a trans way). "when do we consult the expensive books only accessible up a chosen few?" "what part of oral tradition don't you understand?"

maybe-amusing (ymmv) case of "pick your non-normativity, it can only be one" (+ trans-insensitivity) 

I occasionally forget the plot of that one book on my Mount To Be Read, and look it up on Goodreads to decide if I want to read it next. And I'm always surprised/amused/annoyed to see this one question/answer pair below it.

It's
Q: "Is the main character, Denise, Queer?"
A: "No. Denise is autistic. Her sister, Iris, is transgender (i.e., used to be her brother)."

Anyone here in the #berlin #gamedev scene? A good friend of mine is a Game Designer with 1 year of experience, how do you think his chances are of finding employment in his field in Berlin?

People seem to think that accessibility is only a consideration for folks with physical disabilities, but there are a lot of different things that can prevent you from accessing or learning something, and many of them are invisible.

ADHD and Autism fundamentally change how you interact and think.

Psychosis fundamentally changes how you see the world and everything in it.

Dyslexia and Dyscalculia are massive concerns for text accessibility.

Color Blindness is an issue that most websites don't even consider.

And these are just getting into the accessibility for people with disabilities - completely disregarding how income and resources factor in.

I feel like Akinator used to be better o.O Or did my go-to characters become more obscure? It used to be reaaally hard to find someone it doesn't guess right. Today I've tried so many, and it could only guess a hand full. (it got Remus Lupin right, of course. And, surprisingly, LaF from Carmilla.)

That's just for screen readers.
put on someone else's glasses and try to go on all those low-contrast sites. Try navigating a site without moving your hands from a fixed position over tab, shift, and enter.

over three hundred and fourteen million people have disabilities which require standard web accessibility

I remember the irony when everyone on tumblr was adding [image captions] to all their image posts

but the tumblr app was impossible to use with a screen reader and didn't ever read those image captions out to the user. It didn't read out any of the menu buttons.

And before you think about this as only affecting just a few people

More people on the internet use screen readers than the populations of canada and mexico

"I don't want to talk about it too much," I say, while talking about it, constantly, because it's all I can think about
