Wagtail Space is a go! We're on the hunt for speakers right now. If you have a great Wagtail story to tell or a story about #AI, #Accessibility , or #Sustainability that would be relevant to our audience, we definitely want to connect. 😁
Keep your alt text short, but don't be afraid to add a little whimsy. Describe colors. And more tips!

I've started looking into the issue reported by @dhamlinmusic in https://dragonscave.space/@dhamlinmusic/115951152387096282
If you use Pachli with #accessibility services like #Talkback enabled, what would be the most useful thing to read out when reading a post with a quote?
A few options I'm considering, but could well be wrong.

I'm so glad NVDA, Narrator, Orca, VoiceOver, TDSR, and Fenrir exist. I'm so, so glad JAWS is not the only desktop screen reader, and that FS did not persue JAWS for Mac.
I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.
As usual, another dumb implementation in #FinTech #Philippines scene.
A certain №1 (or №2?) #bank is now blocking #Android #accessibility features, they tagged it as "Compromised device". 🤦🏽🤷🏽

I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
What's here today:
• A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
• A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
• Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
This is how a legacy gets started — together.
Explore and submit: https://blind.productions
You must be 18 or older to join.

So Google showed off a new feature on their Android keyboard where you can use ASL for dictation. On paper it seems very useful, but when I stopped to think about it it didn't make much sense to me.
Voice dictation has advantages over typing in that it's faster (albeit with less control over the exact transcribed text), and can be done with one hand or sometimes even hands free without looking at the screen. Meanwhile the new ASL dictation is still faster with less control, but seemingly requires three hands (one of them can be a mount) and to look at the screen while you use both hands for signing. In what situations would this be better than typing?
Can I get any thoughts on this from any deaf/mute people? Or even from hearing/voiced people who use voice dictation, as I almost never use that feature. It's entirely possible I missed something, but my current analysis is that it's yet another flashy yet ultimately useless feature.

A website that's hard to navigate isn't just frustrating, for non-English speakers and people with low literacy, it can mean going without healthcare entirely.
Working alongside After Bruce, we helped Multnomah County Health Department build a multilingual, accessible Drupal website so more people can find the care they need.
Everyone should have access to healthcare.

During the early pandemic, everyone was using online tools for lessons, work, & events. As soon as hegemons wanted not just "essential workers" but everyone back at the grindstone, the accessibility that online can offer was yanked back from disabled ppl.
We warned at the time that the lesson to take from how "horrible" people thought online schooling was was to *improve* it. That the years of ableist underinvestment in creative accessible online tools & training for presenters/teachers was largely to blame. Abled ppl ignored this or wrote op-eds saying online was inherently bad.
Just this week alone, we've heard how schools in Minnesota are trying to instruct students online and doctors are doing telemedicine because of ICE kidnappers. A rail crash in Catalunya resulted in a university cancelling exams because students can't commute to school.
Even if you're naïve enough to assume there will only be one pandemic, there are other reasons for accessibility.

I’ve proposed an Accessibility Law of Headlines:
https://adrianroselli.com/2026/03/accessibility-law-of-headlines.html
Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong.
There. Now you don’t need to read it (my post nor one making a BS claim).
Tell Congress to oppose the ADA 30 Days to Comply Act (H.R. 6453)! Congress is considering a bill that would weaken the #ADA by forcing people with disabilities to notify businesses of #accessibility barriers and then wait at least 30 days for them to be addressed. This bill only applies to architectural accessibility barriers.
Take action here: https://speak4.app/lp/8c011so6?ts=1775232348.
ACB’s Claire Stanley shares a summary of this proposed legislation in this video.

I’m happy to see this Django feature finished:
We replaced the blank choice label of a select form control with words, rather than only dashes.
Why?
Not every screen reader pronounces dashes, meaning that some configurations could not read the original blank choice text.
Plus, it’s always great to have more options to customize your forms!
I ran out of spoons after coding the proof of concept, but the great thing about OSS is that there is a team that can pick up where you left off. 🚀

to any of you folks who've been interested in Grand theft auto V, or who have ever played using gta-11y, I have an exciting announcement for you. I've jumped on the "Vibe coding train." I purchased claude to make something totally unrelated, but had a sudden lightbulb moment: what if I could fix up this mod? the result, 360 degree navigation assist, driving assists, turn-by-turn navigation, fast traffic collision alerts, water depth detection, slope detection, dropoff detection, combat assists with beacons placed on nearest hostile pedestrians, and much, much more! download at: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q5r8jlxnr1s8lskzgqece/gta-11y_V2.0.7z?rlkey=mscui105r9lcp34dyirzg8u1i&dl=1 please feel free to provide feedback or suggestions! #GTA #GrandTheftAuto #Accessibility #Blind #PleaseBoostForReach

Tired: "Why don't you add alt text to your images?"
Wired: "No alt, no boost."
Inspired: "Hey, here's some alt text you can copy and paste, if you'd like!"
Episode 157 of Technically Working is out. This Is Fine, Everything Is Fine.
@damashe used the Blindshell Classic 3 as his real work phone. The dual SIM is broken, there is no company name field in contacts, and apps access your microphone without asking. He still doesn't think it's a terrible phone. Go figure.

Curious whether the number of tags in a post affects people's willingness to boost. Is there a point where you think a tag has too many posts for you to comfortably boost it?

I feel like I have to do an #introduction post after 3 years on this instance.
I'm sans serif girl - even if, at 40, I'm not a girl anymore (actually I'm not exactly a girl at all 'cause my gender is neutral, but you know force of habit; also in Italian we don't have a neutral equivalent and I'm not very fond of overextended [? I don't even know if this word exists] masculine) but I'm quite attached to this nickname - a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace, #biromantic, #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
All my interests are things that I can do on my own like #reading, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, going on walks, taking nature #pictures. I told you: boring!
My best friends live far away from me and I'm obviously sad about it, but not so sad as a normal person would be because I don't despise my time alone, on the contrary I quite like it as it allows me to recharge from everyday stressing things like noises, traffic, work, and of course PEOPLE.
When I had my full earing I used to play the bass guitar and ukulele (and a bit of violin) but I quit because with only one ear left I find it quite difficult and a little bit painful. I also loved going to concerts but I can't anymore.
So most of my free time slots now are taken up by reading #manga #manhwa and #manhua, like I used to when I was in my twenties. One has to do something to entertain theirselves, no?
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an alt text on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
I don't do immediate follow back because 1. I want to know who is following me 2. even when, after some time, I think someone is ok I almost always forget to reciprocate.
But you know: bad friend 🤝 bad mastodon user.
I've clearly forgotten something fundamental* but I'll blame the time and my age.
*Here we go! The first thing I’d forgotten is that, as one of my dearest friends always tells me, my love language is "a meme for every occasion". There’s a meme for everything, I’m sure I’ve got one in my endless archive and I'm going to post it. The second thing is that, unlike many people, I like voice messages a lot, even the longest ones. But I don't like podcasts for the record, nor audiobooks. The third thing is that, despite having read so much theory, I can’t bring myself to call me a #feminist. When I think of feminists, the image that springs to mind is about people who manage to put theory into practice, activists who take up spaces. I can’t do that – for various reasons I won’t delve into here – and so I don’t think it’s right for me to claim the label for myself. However, I have great respect for the comrades who carry out feminist practices into everyday lives.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys

Going to be redoing my website this week. I'd ideally like something lightweight and rock-solid that mostly works with static content, but I would like to have the option to add very limited eCommerce, comment form and contact form options at a later stage. WordPress seems vastly overkill for this, while I was mildly underwhelmed by #ghost last time I tried, partially due to the #accessibility of the backoffice lagging behind where I'd like it to be.
What would be good for this, something based on #astro perhaps? Eleventy? Roll my own? #webdev #indieWeb
Had a blind person tell me today, offline, that they actually hope LLMs eliminate the need to go to websites because that would mean he would never have to fight an inaccessible website again, and I'm just sad forever now. It was somewhat similar to https://www.uxtigers.com/post/accessibility-generative-ui #AI #LLM #WebDev #Accessibility
