I am acquiring communications between doctors that led to the decision, but the hospital where I was initially to get my prophylactic mastectomy combed through my social media, discovered threads I wrote about transphobia & ableism in medicine and kicked me out of care. Lost my oncology team. I had *some* (not a lot) financial aid at that hospital. Now I have to get surgery where I do NOT have any aid. I must raise $8000 by July! #MutualAidRequest #BreastCancer
The #AltText and broader #Accessibility community has stepped up in a big way, and we've reached a good place to start on next steps for https://alt-text.org
We're still looking to connect with folks who might want to help in the future, especially those who can help us test the accessibility and usability of the project for those who rely on alt text.
Everyone can help by boosting, and following to get updates.
So much information and so many feelings are carried around the web in the form of images.
Social media often hides how to add descriptions to images, if it's even possible. Less than 1 percent of images posted are described. That excludes those who rely on #AltText from so many experiences & so many benefits. We're building non-profit tools we believe can make the web more #Accessible. Follow for more information.
We aim to build free tools to enable those who rely on #AltText to enter places they haven't been welcome, and to make opening the gates easier for those who have committed to #AltText work.
