“Are you married?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your husband’s name?”
“I don’t have a husband”
“But you said that you’re married”
“Yes.”
I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass but I’m calling to schedule brain surgery here so yes I’m thinking a bit literally

I’m currently working on two book-length projects:
a nonfiction semi-memoir about my hometown, new england’s settler colonial history, and my relationship to indigeneity
and a dystopian novel about eugenics that I fondly call my neovictorian Gattaca

hi! I’m Benji (they/them). I’m a Chicanx writer, art historian, and disabled scholar/activist in New England.
I’m interested in memory, memorialization, and their intersections with nationalism and the state.
I’m also a fiber artist (mostly knitting, also weaving) & a devout Red Sox fan

Those navigating here from Twitter today. People here are telling you to use alt text. I agree but I just want you to know as you are new or just learning to remember progress over perfection. I depend on alt text great deal of the time and work in accessibility and I still make mistakes

In our latest, in light of the ongoing wildfires, we speak with Kathy McAfee about how capitalist "solutions" to climate crisis—like carbon trading and offset markets—don't work, and how ultimately there is no such thing as "green capitalism."

this is a great resource & made me realize what was bothering me about the Alt Text Discourse: in all of it, I didn’t see a single person ask “What tools would make writing alt text more accessible?”
As someone w/severe brain fog & OCD, having the process broken down like this is a game changer

I really wanted to stay out of this but I am not seeing people sharing resources on how to write alt text, which is intimidating for some people (and that’s okay!).
Short version: Describe it like you’re telling someone across the room.
