Once again bringing up the fact that albinism is always tied to varying degrees of visual impairment. Disability is inherent in our condition and glossing over this (due to ignorance or not) is an act of ableism and fetishisation. Before you create an original character or any sort of fiction you ought to not stick to lazy research. Albinism affects real people, not just animals and social stigma because of our looks is only half of the story. Please do not contribute to a superficial understanding of an already rare and not researched enough condition, happy 10 years of international albinism awareness day.

ALT TEXT ISSUE

So just a heads-up for folks who defer to using ALT text on their posts instead of plaintext IDs, if the ALT text is long enough clicking on the ALT button to visually read the text creates a problem, because as soon as you move your cursor away from the ALT button (like if you use a screen magnifier and are trying to scroll down the page to read the rest of the ALT text) the text WILL DISAPPEAR. It is not possible to continue reading the whole thing visually, which is a problem for blind/low vision users that rely on screen magnifiers or enlarged text.

I know that most people prefer ALT text because people hate having long IDs on their posts, and that generally ALT text is better for people who use screen readers, but it is continuously proving to be a problem for blind/low vision users that rely on screen magnifiers over screen readers. So please PLEASE consider including plaintext IDs so that we can read them too, especially if your IDs are long and likely to get cut off by the limitations of the screen size.

i fucking hate night blindness because I love horror but most horror takes place in a dark environments so I cant see shit and that's why my favorite horror movie is midsommar

people always think I'm pretentious for liking these modern horror movies with cryptic storytelling like no its just that they're the only movies that take place during the day ;v;

i saw heretic in theaters and the entire second half of the movie I was just asking my grandpa to tell me what was happening because I couldnt see shit but I didn't wanna use those headphones for the blind that describe everything because they ruin the movie like yes I know what's going on now but now I cant enjoy the suspense of a silent scene

I've only watched two horror movies without having to ask someone to tell me what's happening on screen and those movies are a quiet place and midsommar ;v;

thank you for reading my unhinged rant about horror and having gushers for eyes

Okay to reblog/like even if you're on my DNI. I'm putting this on my disability blog because it relates to accessibility.

Let's talk about inaccessibility in the MOGAI/LIOM/Queer/LGBTQIA+ community online. Especially if you're a coiner, flag maker, or whatever.

Do you know how privileged it is to be able to not make any, and I mean ANY, of your posts accessible because you are arrogant about people being forced out of the community because of you? Specifically people who are visually impaired in any way which are forced out of the community because you're lack of willingness to be accessible?

There are many, MANY resources available to you to make your posts accessible. You absolutely can make your posts accessible. YOU, yes YOU, can absolutely fucking make YOUR POSTS accessible. Just fucking ask. Reach out.

You can draft your posts, you can look further into communities to make your post accessible before posting, you can save spoons to make your post accessible or wait until you have spoons to make them accessible, and you can look for others to create descriptions/plain text FOR YOUR POSTS.

At this point, there is no excuse to have none of your posts be accessible. "I don't have spoons," but making flags and counting terms also requires spoons. You aren't sneaky with not wanting to be accessible and putting in the work to do so. Oh, and we shouldn't have to be fucking BEGGING and ASKING for accessibility. BEING ACCESSIBLE SHOULD BE STANDARD.

[PT: Being accessible should be standard. End]

So you know what? Start calling people out on this ableist, arrogant behavior. And you know what else? It is ableist if you do not make no attempt to be accessible. Simply because, you have no reason to not be. If your blog shows absolutely NO ATTEMPT at being accessible, YOU need to change. Doesn't matter if it, 'ruins your aesthetic,' neither.

Start being accessible, or continue to have no care whatsoever for people who require that accessibility on your posts. Show no care and sympathy for people who are forced out of the community because of you.

Help Me Exist Again Sale <3, An Indie Game Sale that helps me survive!!!

I'm Efan, a nonbinary transfemme who's a game developer and designer! Please reblog this post if you can't buy pls!!! 💛💛💛

I'm selling all my games individually at 15% off, and a BIG bundle discount for all my paid games at $25! That's nearly a 75% discount!

​I haven't been able to pay for much for a while now, and bills are starting to heighten, especially during tax season. I have ​been stuck inside for months, avoiding nearly all pleasure costs of living. I have been living in a deficit for a while now, and I'd like to live again. 

​With the money, I'll be able to pay for therapy, pay for medications, get diagnosed for mental things and disabilities, buy a new PC, and pay off my taxes. 

There is no problem if you can't buy the bundle, but it would truly help me a ton if you did. I just wanna live again. 

If you don't wanna buy a game, you can send some help via my PayPal or Kofi linked in my Linktree below!

Can we please hit 40% by the end of the week? I know this is a HUGE ask, but I think we can do it!

Hi guys! This post is not related to arts, but I will be very grateful to you for sharing it.🌸

This is a survey for my university's research. I study the problems of disabled people in tourism and recreation. This survey is anonymous.

The statistics collected in the surveys will be used for my university project.

I will be very grateful to everyone who completes the survey and sends it to their family members or friends✨️

The more people complete the survey, the more detailed statistics i will get, so it is important to spread it as much as possible.

You can scan it or use links below:

The question is as written. I am not asking whether or not you wear glasses but I'm curious about the overall vision problems. Or lack of depending on where and how this poll goes!

(I get nervous when too many people see my polls because I just do them for fun, so feel free to reblog but don't feel obligated lol c:)

Mostly blind person briefly rates iOS apps about READING, for their visual accessibility & READABILITY:

Goodreads

• Dark mode: no 🙃

• Enlarged text: no 🙃

• Screenreader compatible: no 🙃

Fable

• Dark mode: no 🙃

• Enlarged text: no 🙃

• Screenreader compatible: no 🙃

StoryGraph

• Dark mode: yes 😯 but only gray 😔

• Enlarged text: no 🙃

• Screenreader compatible: no 🙃

Ratings based on global or even mostly global and proper implementation of these features throughout the respective apps. No, I don’t count it in an app’s favor if there’s a way to jury-rig a feature for less than half the desired effect. Yes, I have tried the way you’re thinking of.

Spelling Knockout as Knock Out

Is like spelling Starscream as Star Scream

IT FEELS WRONG

[sebbyisavampire]

Been busy sorting Sebby's mail all day to make sure everything's coded right. Working as fast as I can to upload my Vampire Sebastian mod, but I want to make sure I catch as many errors as possible. I'm legally blind, so please bear with me.

I bet that it’s not just you.

Image description: on the top half of the image is 2 pictures side by side.

On the left side is Jensen I believe making some funny gestures, while Jered looks serious.

On the left side, Jensen looks serious, while Jared sticks out his tongue while making a peace sign.

On the bottle half of the image has black text with a white background, that reads. “Is it just me or does the first pic seem to be Jensen posing with Sam and then the second is Dean posing with Jared.

hahahahaha the fact most of my creatures and art revolve around a black void and have so many eyes totally isn't caused by the fact I'm slowly going blind and being consumed by the void losing more and more as time goes on noooooooooo

anyways the emotional support void creatures are going very well and I'm very happy about that and I'm not stopping till im either dead, fully blind or get blisters on my hands

im very proud of my creations also thank you @cconfusedkat this is all your fault/pos

if you hadn't been in a bad mood and made a post about it I wouldn't have made the comment "do you need an emotional support void creature?" I hope I was able to make things a bit better that day

I was driving a car. I don't know exactly how it happened, but I winded up dangling off a cliff. (This is weird because I am legally blind and not allowed to drive.)
