I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Literally just listen to BIPOC when they say something is affecting them. I dealt with enough β€œwell meaning” cishet white liberals on Twitter who were all too willing to compromise the rights of marginalised communities so they could feel comfortable. If marginalised communities saying your space is hostile to them makes you uncomfortable, maybe step back and think about why that makes you uncomfortable. Your space you want to be welcoming has a problem with being welcoming and your reaction is β€œI don’t like thinking about that.”

I want Mastodon to work and I want to be a part of this community, but I will not compromise on BIPOC people’s safety and well-being for your comfort. Listen to them.

@froodie has made a wonderful infographic to share. She asks that you DON'T attribute outside the Fediverse, but you can share freely.

I have added a full-text description for users who use screen readers.

FFS, the dorm fire alarm just went off and Istg my heart is now failing 😒

Remember: masking isnt just hiding anything that you think makes you "look autistic". For me I've found its pushing my boundaries and comfort zone for NT people. Pushing myself and eventually burning myself out. I've found it super helpful to realise this, although its still a challenge.

As the UK descends into further shit fuckery, I despair. I can see that those in power are trying their hardest to stoke the culture wars further against trans and queer people. They want to use us as a distraction while they watch the nation starve.

We're about to head in for a potentially catastrophic winter, and these people don't give a shit. #UnitedKingdom

I received my certificate for the course I did today. Feels good but weird to see all distinctions in black and white. Time for a new chapter next month...

Good morning everyone! 🌈

Hope you've had a good night or today, depending on where you live!

Daily tech info to start your day with: It took less coding to send a man on the moon than to run a smartphone!

In fact, Nasa still operates some projects on programming from the 70's and 80's!

They decided to stick to older languages which are safe, reliable and so didn't need to invest.

They use HAL/S developed in 1973 and, for newer projects, ADA which was developed in 1980.

Enjoy your day! πŸ˜‡

Oof... Tmw you've masked for a whole 5 days without realising it half of the time. Big ouch.
