PSA from the Bluesky "It's A Feature, Not A Bug" files: when you post your hashtags, it's good to use #PascalCase (capitalize each word in the tag). That'll allow screen readers to pronounce the tags in a comprehensible way. But that works everywhere, not just here on Bluesky.

Do we have a word yet for when a disabled person speaks up against accessibility (including some that would benefit themselves) / other disabled people's navigation/ease? And how does one handle this in the disability organizing world?

I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)

Three easy ways to be more accessible on social media: - Use #PascalCase on your hashtags instead of all lower case. - Use #AltText on pictures and gifs (Bluesky gives sample alt text on gifs to make it easier. - Use captions on videos and if you can’t then add video/audio descriptions.

America with your history of eugenics. With your hostility to the global charter on disability rights. With your jails, stocked with psychiatric patients—worse than the Soviet Union. We are Gulag Los Angeles; Gulag Rikers Island; Gulag Five Points in Upstate New York. wordpress.com/post/stephen...
