Second, I suddenly had to think really hard about my own ingrained ableism: I had an audience member with a white cane. I did my best to describe what I was showing on the screen (writing all those fedi alt-text captions seriously helped with that skill!)

But, the biggest problem, was I kept saying things like "you can see X in the sky with your eyes." I have to think hard about how to do that differently. I focus a lot on "naked-eye astronomy" but there's a lot of assumptions in that.

So, I know there's a really great community of accessibility activists here, and I'd love to get some suggestions of how to talk about the night sky without these built-in assumptions that I've internalized about how everyone's eyes work.

(Interesting side note: the Blind audience member was SUPER outspoken about how terrible urban light pollution is! They focused on how it drives all the birds away and causes health problems)
