Fuck Trump bruh. I’m not paying shit.

“What were iPods like.” Abbott Elementary is fucking sick. lol

DK Metcalf is going to hate it in Pittsburgh. lol

A labeler for people who can't take a joke

Joke Understanders check your DMs as i've sent out invite codes for Bluesky 2

UPDATE: the disgustingly named "2sky Blue" faction has been exiled from Bluesky 2

On the macOS you can have the whole interface zoom in and follow your mouse. It’s great for accessibility but I also use this all the time when I am doing software demos.

On an iOS device, you can send a text (PDF, doc, epub, etc) to the Kindle app, enable Speak Screen, and your device will read the text to you. If you use the enhanced voice option, it’s a very good mimic of an actual person.

Matt Yglesias sweating bullets reading a poll where a majority of people support washing their hands after using a public restroom

Israel is still committing genocide. Israel is a settler colonial apartheid state. Fuck Israel. Free Palestine from the river to the sea.

I fully have an outline for something i properly started considering only a few hours ago. this is cracking me up.

Home Depot trip at 7pm on a Sunday evening. Yeah, I’m deep in my dad-husband era.

Shameless plug for my article on how to improve accessibility for virtual events, as many facilitators still go out of their way to let participants know how much they want attendees on camera as if simulating eye contact on videoconferencing guarantees engagement! 🤡 web.archive.org/web/20210503...

The Trump administration is doing forced disappearances of dissidents for those keeping track at home.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE IN COMMUNITY WITHOUT HAVING TO PERFORM NEUROCONFORMITY also I wish people understood that alt text is just good. It's just good. It should be enough not to want to exclude people but refusing to use alt text is a net bad even amongst the sighted.

Pressing and holding any button on a Mac keyboard to activate dictation! Sometimes I just flat out need it read to me because it ain't processing.

Word has a dictation function that i use a phenomenal amount. Windows Key+h (depending on your device and version) opens voice typing. Which makes it pretty easy to get your thoughts on paper without actually typing anything.

Please add proper captions to your YouTube videos. It helps not just Deaf/HOH viewers, but people like me who can hear just fine but whose brains don't always process speech correctly. The automatic ones are not usable unless you want background noise rendered as "[applause]."

This is for mental health accessibility specifically but: Few things ever did right by me and mine quite like having a set of reasonable-to-maintain rules of engagement in a healthy relationship between 2 adults with severe PTSD. It's the most useful life skill I've ever been lucky enough to share.

I recently listened to Decolonization Is Not A Metaphor with the (quite decent) text to speech app ElevenReader. I find that people take reading for granted. I find it takes a significant level of privilege to be able to read continuously, and it is negatively affected by trauma. Listening helps.

Even when I was homeless I scrounged up enough to get transitions lenses. I'm extremely photosensitive and not having to carry around a pair of sunglasses when I go outside has saved numerous migraines. The only thing comparable to the pain I've avoided is my cane.

Foldable mobility aids! My mobility varies by each situation and I don't want to heft them around, so I just fold them up and put them in my bookbag.

My husband just reminded me as I was squinting to read the model number on my laptop that if the readers aren't cutting it, you can take a pic on your phone and zoom in/adjust the contrast/have Google lens try to read it

From an educator's POV, anything that does a reasonably good job transcribing talk to text is a fantastic tool that not enough students use because they think typing = writing instead of writing = organized thinking. More people should use it in more situations.

I guess congrats to Shai Davidai?

oh my god im so tired of saying it, but there are no votes to be found in the center. every vote democrats need to win lies with people who don’t believe that the system can do anything for them. they need a reason to show up and it isn’t going to be a status quo centrist with the same ol bs

anyone got that 20k word essay on why the bayverse is anti military that was going around late last year?

Odegaard anonymous in the second half.

Martinelli definitely rusty.
