minus-squarepomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·10 months agoHey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe: I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning). I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.

minus-squareHeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWithout getting into too long of a tirade, I’d rather be called disabled than differently abled. I don’t get super hearing because my vision sucks.
minus-squareteftlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoYes but in their specific cases they are differently abled. Hemmer has his telepathy and Geordi his visor.
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoSame - I don’t shame anyone for not doing it, but I do try to call out/praise when it’s done and/or done exceptionally well. Hopefully that helps.
minus-squarepomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoIt most certainly helps, thank you
