Many forms of resistance aren’t accessible to disabled people Does that mean we shouldn’t support them? Of course not. Resist any & every way you can But let’s also commit to making the resistance accessible. To including disabled individuals & never shaming someone for being unable to participate

Yep. I'll be nice when it's appropriate. I'll be persistent af. I'll apologize if I'm wrong. And I will judge you harshly if I share the alt text 'how & why' link with you & you refuse to use alt text. If you refuse to provide accessibility (won't, not can't) then you're abelist & I'm not interested

We're just a couple hours away, in SW Ohio. Kentucky has taken a beating all. spring. My heart goes out to them. I don't care how they voted. This has been unrelenting for them and I'm worried they won't get federal help they desperately need.

So... Rhetorical question disguised as a "serious question." Noted.
nobody (@1in8billion.bsky.social) reply parent
It's like refusing to hold the door for someone on crutches. Or more accurately, refusing to provide crutches. Yeah, I'm better than that. Are you... not? That's a rhetorical question.
nobody (@1in8billion.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, you can say what you want but people ARE receptive & do change. Every day. Not everyone is offended by the same things you are. And if you think you can shame me for feeling I'm at least marginally better than ppl who refuse to provide accessibility, I promise you cannot.

This is actually pretty offensive, but I'm assuming you don't mean it to be. You should follow @ufw.bsky.social (United Farm Workers) to see who is really keeping us fed. Owners aren't out spraying crops. They're paying people minimum wage to do it.

I'm seeing a lot of people screenshotting from major news outlets without saying where it's from, then getting a bit sniffly when asked, as if everyone should already know, or as if it doesn't matter. Don't share screenshots of text without a source, and indeed without alt text

Like I said, I assume people don't know, which is why I share a what/why/how link. If they know & refuse I'm definitely going to assume they don't gaf. Moral binary ✅ It's the same link for everyone. If I've shared it with you more than 1x it was an oversight on my part.

If I've asked before & you ignored/refused, I muted your account. Somehow muted accounts come back, and if I saw another unaccessible post I asked again. Maybe I should just block?

How is it spam? I asked & provided a link. I used to put a long personal message on every ask but the result was exactly the same: either people didn't know about alt text & were glad to learn, they ignored it, or they were offended. It's totally up to you which group you choose to be part of. 🤷🏼♂️

Today is Josephine Baker day! Baker was a revolutionary of every kind. Painfully dedicated to art, forcefully anti-segregation, and on top of that, a bisexual icon. She spoke at the March on Washington and was asked by Coretta Scott King to continue Dr King's fight when he was assassinated.
