There's a "no more turing tests" tag now.
This might be kinda obvious but we'll just stick it here anyway. Also, shoutout to acorn_squash, who made a perceptive comment about disability and neurodivergence in the last post.

We wrote a bunch of words today! A bunch of them specifically in a fediverse thread about obstacles people face to adding image descriptions riffing off the essay "Laziness Does Not Exist" by Devon Price.
...kind of fediverse inside baseball, all things considered, but now our wrists are sending "hey, you might wanna chill a little" signals, so we're not gonna write a lot more here. So you get the link instead. :P

Okay, also: if you're using the HTML editor to write your Dreamwidth posts, the key is <img src="[image URL]" alt="[text to display if image doesn't load]" title="[text to display when mouse hovers over image]">
. If you use Dreamwidth's image hosting, the HTML it gives you to copy gets auto-filled with the "Title" in the mouseover and the "Short Description" in the alt text.
Ania Onion Bula's Ableism Challenge is a little over five years old. We first took it a little under five years ago - July 9th.
...these days, I think it doesn't go far enough. But whether it does or not, it was still an important step for us towards fighting our learned ableism. And we want to share it in case anyone else would get something out of trying it.
