Part of Alice's life's work included constantly uplifting disabled writers, defiantly taking up space, and celebrating disability culture. In 2021, she worked with @freeblackgirl.bsky.social on a curated Access Series for Bitch Magazine.

🎙️ON AIR: Pioneering disability justice activist Alice Wong died in San Francisco on Friday at the age of 51. We listen back to our January conversation with her about joy, life and the disability justice movement, and hear from activists reflecting on her lasting impact. 📻 Listen:

4 of this year's Game of the Year nominees at the Game Awards are made by small and/or independent studios. And two of those studios aren't in English as a first language countries. I think that's genuinely worth celebrating. Silksong is my personal frontrunner.

"Hard mode plus" is unlocked when you have a cat who wants attention when you're playing, and she starts attacking your feet

many social platforms favor direct video uploads over links that lead to other sites, and many people won't open a bsky URL, so if you're comfortable posting the video to other sites: bskysaver.com/download?url...

Me, discovering a new "ergonomic" furniture/office brand:

Just over $300 to go. Thank you SO MUCH for everything so far ❤️💕

Settle a debate for me: which do you think will be more transformational as a society, the last 100 years (1925-2025) or the next 100 years (2025-2125)?

dating app profiles like"sometimes I'm introverted, other times I'm extroverted" what that describes is neither of those, it's just a description of the normal way of being those words were created to indicate a deviation from, people're so eager to be in categories they want both instead of neither

I know y'all are generous people, keep helping out

I contacted a university disability/accommodations office for my dyslexic husband to see if he could get any of these fabled student supports. "IS HE PERMANENTLY AND IRREPARABLY UNABLE TO FUNCTION?" they inquired. Upon learning he in fact functions sometimes, they said no to supports.

Tonight the indomitable @bethdomon.bsky.social will join the Aiel to talk what life would look like for veterans in the #ThreeFoldLand. Join us in chat to bring your best head cannon, 9 pm eastern. #WoTSkies #Foldies #ThreeFoldThursday youtube.com/live/lMxRYQM...

Sitting at 53% now. I was able to at least get the electric bill taken care of so they won't disconnect. Now, focus is on the rent. Thank you SO SO MUCH to everyone that has shared and donated so far. ❤️💕

Have y'all ever come across a good cross-store wishlist (web)app? Trying to come up with recommendations to help de-Amazon my family's gift-giving

Reading comprehension is the equivalent of active listening.

looks like they may be visible again tonight in many places

People often blame screen readers for memes or posts being inaccessible. But frustrations with how screen readers work don't let us off the hook. We should still try. Adrian Roselli has a great resource on what screen readers are (and aren't). adrianroselli.com/2021/10/blam...

Bluesky rn: "So what is wrong with Ameri ... hold on ... OMG NORTHERN LIGHTS BRB." (I'm a joiner.)

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

Jesus REICH Sam got cooked 😂

I'm in southern missouri and this is the brightest I have EVER seen the northern lights what on earth !!!

I just love space weather 😍

The Dragonsteel leather bound edition of The Eye of the World will be delayed a couple months because, basically, they're not quite happy with it yet & getting it to be as nice looking & feeling as they want it is more important than rushing it to shelves & i find that to be a very valid excuse.

curiously the way every game was made before 2023 is no longer possible

People who want to make the web accessible need to understand the many different ways that people with disabilities use the web. This W3C resource offers a good introduction to how disabled people navigate the web, and barriers they commonly encounter. www.w3.org/WAI/people-u...

If a word has some letters replaced with asterisks, this could confuse people. This includes people with cognitive and reading disabilities, and those learning the language. Screen reader users won't necessarily know what the word is meant to be, as it could sound like gibberish.

I wish anyone else in the industry was making a mouse with all the functionality of the MX Master without the Logitech of it all. (and tbh "Master" naming) The hardware is so nice but Logitech's software practices are so bad

I received a donation via Zelle so I adjusted the goal accordingly. Thank you so much to everyone that has shared and donated so far. Every bit helps ❤️

Templates could be designed and coded according to web accessibility standards, but this won't ensure that the final product would be accessible. Content creators still need to know about key accessibility concepts, including alt text, link text, and proper headings.

Survived my (hopefully) last 5-hour 9am session. 😮‍💨

Please don't hate me. I'm doing everything I can but it's just not enough and I don't know what to even do anymore. gofund.me/de22ca37e

Nothing 🍄 has done at Tesla justifies a $1 trillion pay package. That board should be shopping around for a new CEO, not trying to reward the walking reputation liability

Fuck React

When things work as they should and UX patterns are intuitive, accessibility is quiet.

#Marketing #ProTip: The easiest way to boost your #ConversionRate is to limit the campaign audience to folks who actually CAN convert

I have watched this work locally. When things are going terribly and the local GOP abandons their people and the local dems show up with food pantries and stuff to help anyone who needs it. It bleeds through the noise. Sometimes it radicalizes them into our cause. But we get NO support down here.

Help Sean get back on his feet

Light I hate doing this. But with Sunflower's passing I went on short term disability. The problem is that it took a few days to get approved and now I'm gonna be missing about a week from my next paycheck. Should just be the one paycheck that screws me up. But kofi has helped me in the past and

I'm probably gonna be scarce until people stop freaking out about things that Bsky themselves never said about dislikes, just FYI
