Consider your site content that is routinely updated, like weather maps, Covid charts, or stock graphs. Screen reader users encounter maps and charts where the image has been updated but the alt text hasn't. This can lead to confusion. Always update alt text when updating images.

Currently having to work a seasonal job while sick, please help if you're able
Due to being a refugee, I only get invited to interviews for menial and service jobs. Because of my disability, I can't work those. I live on modest and sporadic freelance earnings and can't afford surgical expenses. Please help if you can 🙏

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.

When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

Es gibt Foto-Agenturen für lizensfreie Bilder, d.h. Bilder, die ihr umsonst verwenden könnt, solange es nicht-kommerziell bleibt. Es gibt auch Foto- oder Grafikmenschen, die für queere Projekte/Umfragen/Petitionen umsonst arbeiten würden (hi, hmu!). Es gibt Alternativen zu KI-Dreck. ❤️

I also analyze patterns of online exclusionary discourse in my book”非二元的な性を生きる”.
Every time a public figure comes out, the posts and reactions become filled with exclusionary takes on nonbinary identities.🥲

Next week in my class, we’ll be looking at the history of activism by people living nonbinary identities in Japan. I want to take the time to talk carefully about why dismissive claims are so problematic, and how people have resisted them over time.

it's not so much a debate concerning who has it worse and more so the fact that women have it worse then men because they're an oppressed class and that, since some women are trans and some men are trans, it's likely that some trans women will have a bone to pick with some trans men's behaviour

like i think you should realise when a trans woman says "this is misogyny" and a guy tells her they should just make out sloppy style for solidarity's sake, that's vile actually. you can see how that's vile surely

Literal years of disabled people BEGGING senators and MPs to listen to them that death would be offered before the necessary care, and they brushed us off.

Only for the obvious inevitable to happen.

We fucking told you. Multiple times.
What now?!
A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.

There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.

This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

Sask. woman considers MAID because she can't get needed surgery for rare disease | CBC News
For the past eight years Jolene Van Alstine has suffered from a rare form of parathyroid disease, normocalcemic primary hyperparathryroidism (nPHPT). It causes extreme bone pain.

Menschen im Asylverfahren erhalten deutlich niedrigere Leistungen, als Bürgergeldbeziehende. Lediglich 441 € pro Monat. In sogenannten AnkER-Zentren werden Teile der Leistungen in Form von Sachleistungen ausgegeben. Dadurch sinkt der effektive Geldbetrag noch weiter. Ein Skandal!

Clara Siewert (9. Dezember 1862-11. Oktober 1945) zog Ende der 1890er nach Berlin. Der Austritt aus der Berliner Secession 1912 beendete ihre Karriere, Käthe Kollwitz setzte sich erfolglos für sie ein. Wolfgang Gurlitt stellte ihre Werke noch einmal aus. 1945 starb sie verarmt.

Selbstbildnis, 1910.

What were your favourite reads/pieces of media this year that ft transmasculinity??
solomonskalozub.blogspot.com/2025/12/tran... I threw this together as an easier reference for people looking for *something* featuring transmasculinity. I will eventually get back to doing essays for each individual media I mention here, but I felt this may aid people in finding the story they need!
