It’s dawning on me that I have to go to town tomorrow in the school holidays so I’m going to take my cane that shouts* aggressively at people! *ok it does not actually shout but it beeps loud! I think it’s my favourite feature 😂

So frustrating hoped to go to Hove at the WE but busses are replacing trains (not a dealbreaker) but the station busses are transferring people to has broken lifts that are out of order! (Yep there it is). Whose idea was that? What if #Disabled people want to travel this weekend?

#Bug with @bsky.app if your using Apple dynamic fonts to write image descriptions in the #AltText box on iOS app you can’t actually hit the button to save/confirm because the keyboard is covering it… #Accessibility

Wow the artwork and skill that has gone into #AssassinsCreedShadows is incredible and I know because I’m a #BlindGamer I won’t be seeing all the detail (so I used an AI to do the image description).

Very pleased to say I'm credited as an #accessibility consultant on #Atomfall! Though the game isn't playable without sighted assistance, seeing it launch with audio aim cues and NPC sounds letting you tell friend from foe is a wonderful feeling. #Accessibility #A11Y #GamerWithoutSight

Practicing using VoiceOver with a physical keyboard for a client I actually quite like it but I legit don’t understand why some of the keyboard commands are different to VoiceOver on #Mac

I got a really achy pinky finger because I was separating frozen hot cross bun with my bare hands and my hand slipped and I hit my pinky hard on the palm of my other hand and it bent backwards in multiple places. I probably popped it out of joint or sprained it. #hEDS

In my case it’s fidget ‘links’ with braille contractions on… I’ve even chosen I will get the black and green version. www.unicornsodadesignstudio.com/shop/p/brail... I’m determined to learn contracted #braille. There are no courses for adults, no funding for it through social services.

One of the first truly horrendous things Trump did on the 2015 campaign trail was mock a disabled reporter. It should've been immediately disqualifying. But because he targeted a disabled person, people didn't get all that bothered. That's how insidious #ableism is.

new short video on ableist language is out! Yippie! https://youtu.be/aiWARkBCwaA [3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says "explaining ableist language" another has "intro to ableist language" and one says "what is ableist language?". They are all […]

The language around trump’s Make America Healthy Again plan is eugenicist, and this should concern even those of you who are, for now, considered healthy. What’s done to disabled people will be done to anyone the dominant power structure demonizes. #abandoned #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #ableism

Never take your foot off the neck of abled-bodied people. I’m tired of hearing just wait for them to become disabled to finally understand the way they're treating us is not heroic but harmful. Go in on them today. #DisabilitySky #Ableism

With the help of carer managed to take a photo for my passport that passed the automatic check… this is a miracle! * Just had a really close look at the photo though and pretty sure as soon as it gets looked at by a human they will fail it. 1/

Has any research ever been done on IQ tests for #BlindPeople? I know this is a random one I think I did an IQ test at uni but it was not adapted in anyway. I don’t think I have a particularly high IQ or anything I’m just curios. #IQ ##IQTest #MENSA
