I’m an artist wanting to raise awareness of the current drought in Vic & SA. I have 2 qns: 1. Are there any charities supporting these farms/communities I can direct people to? 2. Are any farmers willing to send me some photos I can use as references for my artwork? I’d love to show real places

Accessible social media content for #pwME, #LongCovid #ChronicIllness #disability I’m putting together some polls for my Insta stories asking about accessibility needs for those who have them. Eg. prefer voiceover or written caption; music with lyrics, without lyrics or silence?

Yesterday I saw an artist who uses teeny miniature figurines & photographs them in/on vegetables etc. And at that scale the ‘landscape’ looks huge. This provoked a heap of ideas of how I could use this concept to both depict #pwME, and be a visual escape especially for bed and house bound people.

Question for blind & low vision people. I’m currently looking into turning my art into clothing merch. And I’m wondering if you like embroidered items? I’m thinking simple line art type style, so the shapes & lines are clear. Thoughts? #AccessibleArt #Disability #Blind #LowVision #TactileArt

Friendly reminder to scientists/science communicators - the images you share (and thus grow followers, trust, credibility upon) are 100-fold better when you use alt-text because they are more accessible to broader audiences. Want to go one step further? Attribute the source! It's the BlueSky way.

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿
