Good. We need new contenders.

This hits HARD.

*sigh* I am once against asking people not to use alt text to add commentary or expand on posts that you can add extra skeets for Alt text is a disability tool first, last and always

Please, please, please do not share a screenshot of text without making sure that the actual text is typed or pasted into the alt text WHEN YOU SHARE TEXT ABOUT DISABILITY RIGHTS!!! You should always make sure the text is in the alt text, but definitely WHEN IT IS ABOUT DISABILITY RIGHTS!!!

This is what accessible by design looks like: youtube.com/shorts/EShWO... #disability

Don’t assume this doesn’t affect you. Many of us fail to understand that we have disabilities, that our children do. The rights of people with disabilities are your rights, workers rights, students rights. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/01/27/s...

Could not agree more.

I tried to use AI to navigate. The result? Hmmmm. Watch the video to find out: youtu.be/7cV8U4ZzJ84 #disability #YouTube

Thrilled to share that my TEDx talk, Stop Looking, Start Seeing, is now on YouTube! Have you ever wondered what it means to truly explore your infinite potential? What do limitations really mean? Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpxv...

I do. Knowing who I follow is very important to me.

Please treat game developers with respect. You have no idea of what they are advocating for you on your behalf and by being toxic or negative and forcing them to make changes and playing armchair gamedev you are inevitably pushing your BIGGEST CHAMPIONS out of the room.

Known issues: Social anxiety when not on camera, clumsiness, and generally a horrible sense of humor.

The general state of printers tbh.

Of the utmost importance. i will not work in an environment that is not inclusive and does not want to be inclusive.

I am sorry you are feeling that way. Hopefully you can make a few friends online. I used to face segrigation as well, but now have exited that phase and I am sure you will find people who fit your vibe too. You got this!

Snowy days are beautiful until the ramp mobility aid users rely on to get into a building vanishes under a blanket of white. 🌨️ Accessibility can't take a snow day! If you own or run a business, make sure to keep sidewalks and ramps clear so everyone can navigate safely. ❄️♿️

Just wanted to also say that I publish content on YouTube about blindness and disability advocacy, showing what it’s like to live a blind life as a coder, runner and a11y advocate. Would love to read your stories as replies to mine! Join the phoenix army at youtube.com/@imtheblindi...

This is soooo true! Just do it.

Nope. That's too many ports. I think the few that windows PCs come with now are perfect. If you have more things to connect, I think a hub should do it but too many ports looks, IMO, janky.

[you find a mysterious charging port on your body] oh no [also it’s not usb-c] OH NO

Hey #bluesky Phoenix here. I make videos I can’t see.
