I've been so confused. When I see "Stornoway" I think of this place:

Many forms of resistance aren’t accessible to disabled people

Does that mean we shouldn’t support them? Of course not. Resist any & every way you can

But let’s also commit to making the resistance accessible. To including disabled individuals & never shaming someone for being unable to participate

Yep. I'll be nice when it's appropriate. I'll be persistent af. I'll apologize if I'm wrong. And I will judge you harshly if I share the alt text 'how & why' link with you & you refuse to use alt text. If you refuse to provide accessibility (won't, not can't) then you're abelist & I'm not interested

if i get labeled as "intolerant" on this website, just know, ya I am.

i do not tolerate dehumanizing people.
i do not tolerate leaving people to starve.
i do not abide by any weakness in addressing those issues and i was not put on this earth to be *nice* about it

Voted for joy and we ended up with this @deborahinohio.bsky.social · May 20

We're just a couple hours away, in SW Ohio. Kentucky has taken a beating all. spring. My heart goes out to them. I don't care how they voted. This has been unrelenting for them and I'm worried they won't get federal help they desperately need.

So... Rhetorical question disguised as a "serious question."

Noted.

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

It's like refusing to hold the door for someone on crutches. Or more accurately, refusing to provide crutches. Yeah, I'm better than that. Are you... not?

That's a rhetorical question.

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

Well, you can say what you want but people ARE receptive & do change. Every day. Not everyone is offended by the same things you are. And if you think you can shame me for feeling I'm at least marginally better than ppl who refuse to provide accessibility, I promise you cannot.

it's not a movie, it's The Sims 2 trailer.

I read that as "double bath" & simultaneously thought what is that? + that sounds awesome

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

Yes, yes, yes

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

I've answered that question 3 times now.

What do you suggest

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

This is actually pretty offensive, but I'm assuming you don't mean it to be. You should follow @ufw.bsky.social (United Farm Workers) to see who is really keeping us fed.

Owners aren't out spraying crops. They're paying people minimum wage to do it.

The UFW and dozens of supporters rallied in Kent NY demanding the release of farm workers detained by ICE earlier this month as they were driven to work at Lynne-Ette & Sons Inc. on a company bus. #WeFeedYou

I'm seeing a lot of people screenshotting from major news outlets without saying where it's from, then getting a bit sniffly when asked, as if everyone should already know, or as if it doesn't matter.
Don't share screenshots of text without a source, and indeed without alt text

Yours is the only one I've seen that has alt text. You win! ✨

Please use alt text on the images you post. It's an important #accessibility aid. ✨ www.howtogeek.com/821673/what-...

Like I said, I assume people don't know, which is why I share a what/why/how link. If they know & refuse I'm definitely going to assume they don't gaf. Moral binary ✅

It's the same link for everyone. If I've shared it with you more than 1x it was an oversight on my part.

If only storms discriminated btwn red & blue voters. But yeah, fuck em all.

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

There's a bluesky accessibility setting to remind you 🤷🏼‍♂️

nobody @1in8billion.bsky.social · May 21

Yes. It works every single day. Literally every day.

I don't have the energy to beg people to do the right thing, especially people who supposedly care about inclusion and accessibility. I provided the information and tools. The decision to do the right thing is on you. ✌🏻
