If you're styling a website, don't forget to check if you have accessible degrees of contrast in your color palette. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provides good definitions to follow, and there are lots of handy tools that calculate rates of contrast and if they're sufficient. Here's one of them: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

Certain posts I'm seeing make me want to write a fic about some brave anon turning himself in to one of Antifa's secret forcefemme facilities that are definitely going to be built by the Biden administration. He of course insists to himself that he doesn't WANT to be forcefemmed. He just wants to take up a space in the facility so it can't be used on someone else.
"I'm doing this to save America" he continues to insist as he applies another day's gel to his ever-smoothing skin

I appreciate the iPad for the simplicity but not at the expense of censorship

When a hardware manufacturer can tell a software manufacturer to display something like this, there’s a problem.

Not only makes adding your art to @jeremy you an awesome person, but I get to see your art displayed above my desk when the bot generates a mutation from it.

Since @lrhodes just recently suggested that there should be a feature to hide inaccessible posts, and @gemlog reminded me today that folks might not even realize their names and toots might be hard for some people to read unless they are told, I guess it is my duty now to write another round of educational posts.
Hmm, this isn't really my area of expertise ... maybe I should just go find some old one and reboost?
Nah, let's do this.
In this thread, I'll list a couple suggestions for #Accessibility adjustments you can do to help out people who are #Blind, #VisuallyImpaired, or those who for other reasons use a #ScreenReader. Boosts appreciated!

PSA for Nano Adblocker & Nano Defender (Chrome extension) users:
I strongly advise to uninstall both extensions as they can be considered malware after they have been sold off. See https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/jbua53/nanoadblocker_nanodefender_is_malware_now/ for context.

OMG, am dying!!!

Someone used the bug GitHub refused to fix, that allows you to add a commit to a repo you don’t control... to upload YouTube-dl to the DMCA request repo on GitHub.

The real story is that ‘developing’ nations have done remarkably better at fighting COVID-19 than the rich and white. The real story starts precisely where the western map ends. Here be dragons. We be dragons.

The real story is that places like Vietnam and Mongolia have completely kicked COVID-19’s ass. The real story is that places like Rwanda and Ghana have innovated and survived. There are countless stories like this — from Sri Lanka to Trinidad & Tobago, but you wouldn’t know because we’re not rich or white. But you should know. Because we’re right. This information could save your life.

(But please keep posting about a vaccine, eating like normal, and relying on your institutions to save you. It'll all work out for you I'm sure.)
