Hey! Accessibility people!
What common accessibility errors do people make on platforms like BlueSky and Linkedin that don't allow html formatting (or much formatting at all)? How should we handle abbreviations, creative misspellings (ex. ur gr8), etc?

Philip K Dick made it seem like living in a world where you didn't know if it was fantasy or illusion would be nonstop existential dread but I'm surprised at how it's mostly just really annoying.

Verdict on BlueSky:
There are two BlueSkys.
One is shorthand Tumblr, the other is functional Twitter.
To make your selection, just get reeeeally liberal with the block bubuttn

Wait, they're reinventing a medieval penance?
Entrepreneurs are looking for ways to recycle human hair, including weaving clippings swept off the floor of salons and barbershops into clothes.
Would you wear a sweater made from human hair?
Dutch start-up Human Material Loop is part of a growing industry of recycling hair, including weaving clippings from salons and barbershops into clothes.

I need a 4D sculpting software.
The math isn't hard, so computers should like this problem, right? The gui is the weird part and I can live with an unusable gui.

Happy Superbowl Sunday to those who celebrate. I will be respectfully participating in the traditions of my roommate's ancestral home, which is Ohio.

We've got to bring back extremely ugly but highly customized digital profiles. I want html formatting on every website I use so that I can plaster ugly pngs that I drew on my phone all over my homepage.

I left reveal codes on all the time when I was writing/editing. It also helped when I started teaching myself HTML in the 90s. And WP macros! I built a lot of macros that saved so much time & produced things I could never accomplish with Word, even after 20 years using it. Word is sooo fragile.

Here is the lesson I learned from releasing my first piece of paid content:
Just release your thing. I have gone from "weird hobbyist" to "part of the indie ttrpg community" in a week, and that is so cool.

New users, do this! Even if you previously never thought about alt text, adding it will soon be second nature. Isn’t it awesome when being considerate & thoughtful & inclusive is second nature? Wouldn’t it be great if there were a toggle switch for that in life?
Anyway. Alt text toggle! Use it!

What a great feature! Everyone should go toggle "require alt text before posting" on under "Accessibility" in the Settings menu.

I've never posted here before, but my itch.io page says that I have views from bsky, so I'll take it as a sign.
Hi! I'm Cat Jackson and I designed a method for navigating the surface of a hypercube if you're a masochistic GM. It's for sale, even though it has typos and I'm a hack.
