Okay, so this year's John Lewis Christmas ad featured beautiful audio description for blind and partially sighted people.
And we fully believe this masterpiece of an edit from @bagpuss.org deserves the same treatment.
Enjoy?

I don't know if there is an oldest selfie from your phone thing going around but I'm delighted that the oldest selfie in my photos is this, from March 2011.

I do think we should be able to do English degrees, but also mine had six hours a week of actual teaching time so it's not *not* a rip off
Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Political violence is bad but me and my mates need to set fire to this hotel because it contains people I don’t know personally but don’t like the idea of. Political violence is bad but I support the right of a country to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians because I’ve deemed them terrorists

At #AccessGiven25 inaugural conference in Newcastle.
First new thing for me is audio descriptions of yourself (gender, race / colouring, hair style and clothes!)
Up first, @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social and Helen Dutson.
“We want you here too.” 🖤
Meaning, accessibility efforts are a love note.
