Has anyone here tried to upload a video to #youtube only to have it stop because "the process was abandoned"? I am a podcaster but have been solely on audio platforms thus far. Hoping to get some advice... #podcast #posting odcaster #podcastingproblems #podcasterproblems #youtubeproblems

The only thing more agonizing than invisible disability and chronic pain is having the world believe you are fine because “You don't look disabled.” Many thanks to Diode for publishing these poems about the ways invisible disability erases suffering from view.

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

For accessibility purposes I like to use mini cell phones (I currently use the iPhone 13 mini for example). Am I crazy or is the iPhone 16e the same dimensions as the iPhone 13 mini? #apple #iphone #questions

One of my favourite shows is Slow Horses on @appletv with Gary Oldman. Something about watching him eat Chinese food is disgustingly fun! Yesterday though I noticed that they had parked in a disabled spot and that is NOT COOL! MI-5 get your act together! #Ableism
