Can techy people way in on this?
Heads up, I have NOT used the safebadge extention on my browser for Twitch. I feel uncomfortable that it's asking for so much information. Also, I will put in my tags that I have opted out. I will NEVER support GenAI.
If everything was designed with accessibility for disabled people in mind the quality of life would improve for literally everyone.
For people who want to see a screen reader in action, it can be helpful to start with this demo from Hadi Rangin of the University of Washington's IT Accessibility Team. Among the things Rangin discusses are ARIA landmarks, headings, and text content. youtu.be/7Rs3YpsnfoI
Using a Screen Reader
Hadi Rangin is an expert user of screen reader software. In this video, he demonstrates the elements of a well designed web page and how they sound to someone who is blind. Issues discussed include…

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.
SAVE THE DATE 22/08/2026 8pm BST/3pm EST ft. @junomoons.bsky.social @mal4m.bsky.social @smallghostbigthot.bsky.social I will ask important questions like 'what is noises?' and 'how the air wiggle like that?'

Gentle reminder to all 3d artists out there (but a reminder for me) Genshin's 7.0 models have clipping IronMouse's 3D model has clipping Wuwa's models have clipping If they can have clipping, so can you.

I really cannot state this enough, you cannot be meaningfully anti-ai whilst still playing/supporting fortnite.
I knew that AI Darth Vader shit was gonna come around again eventually, we do not collectively hate Tim Sweeney enough.
I think a lot of ppl underestimate how much their dollar actually helps artists, writers, journalists etc. And I think a lot of people overestimate how following translates to income. I don't have a 1$ tier so it is hard to convert, but about 1% of my following is actual subscribers.
people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

my money issues are back i need about 600 usd to pay all the debt unless i want to pay in 6-8 monthly installments w/ 10% interest I'm not opening another Kofi request, people already helped me enough & I'd feel guilty getting in the way of real mutual aid, I'll swallow my interest like an adult
Steps to stop hating your art: Don't present it to others negativity first. Focus on improvement, not "flaws". Compare yourself to your own work, not the work of others. Remember everyone has bad art days. Find joy in what you've done well and achieved. Work with intent, set goals if you need to.
reminder that i am in desperate need of disability assistance for my chronic illnesses. i dont have any way to fund it myself bc i am unable to work and my family is unable to assist due to their own situations/bills i also need assistance to pay for my fall semester and my book. ko-fi.com/minivore

If you have seen these cats on Discord, there is like a 90% chance the server they're from just stole them outright. Maybe on purpose, maybe not. Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about! That's always possible.
I’m so tired of genAI apologists telling me I only hate it because I don’t understand it. I hate it *because* I understand it, you absolute toenail.
you don’t have to be improving and getting to bigger and greater achievements constantly. some times staying where you are for a little while is just what you need. and being happy with what you have is okay too.
Avoid using images of big blocks of text on your website. Using actual text instead of images of text will help screen reader users, but also will help people with reading disabilities. Using actual text helps users who need to adjust the text's font, color, size, and alignment.
urgency often = inaccessibility, btw! disabled ppl have to manage energy very carefully so asking them to do things short notice or quickly often uneccessarily or due to poor planning leaves them having to push themselves beyond their capacity, make them seem unreliable or leaves them out entirely 🤷🏻
WRT the last QRP, "Let people enjoy things!!" like, bitch let yourself enjoy things! Enjoy something without letting the fact someone hates it ruin your day! The only thing stopping your enjoyment is your own misplaced guilt.
The fun is in following the rules as written. The rule of cool ruins the experience. /🤢

As an update on the remaining charity doodles I owe people: I haven't forgotten about them. Physical and mental health have been awful BUT I'm making changes to fix those so I can get back to art. YOU WILL GET YOUR ART! 🐥✨
