Lanie Molinar Carmelo<p><strong>🌟 Tech Toward Triumph: Help Me Access the World Through Braille 🌟</strong></p><p>Hi all,</p><p>I’ve launched a Crowdfunder campaign to raise support for a <strong>Handy Tech Activator Braille display</strong>—a device that would make a huge difference in my life. My mom and I created this campaign together, and she wrote a timeline of my health journey and everything I’ve been through. It’s been a long road, and this technology would help me move forward with more independence and opportunity.</p><p>🔗 <a href="https://www.crowdfunder.com/p/techtowardi-triump" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">crowdfunder.com/p/techtowardi-</span><span class="invisible">triump</span></a></p><p>This Braille display would allow me to:</p><ul><li>Access digital content independently</li><li>Continue my studies and creative work</li><li>Stay connected and advocate for myself more effectively</li></ul><p>If you can donate or share the campaign, it would mean the world to me.

I'm loving the excerpt from 'Shroud' by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and I also appreciate the accessibility features you included, such as the ALT text and the dyslexia-friendly font (which I think might be OpenDyslexic). It's really important to make sure that all readers can enjoy your content, and you're doing a great job of that.

Meadow<p>Despite my vision being quite good, I lost out on being able to enjoy a meme because of a lack of alt-text. I could clearly see everything, but the logo in the meme was unfamiliar to me. Had alt-text been added to the picture, there is a good chance I could have found my answer there and enjoyed the meme like everyone else.</p><p>Alt-text is not just for the blind. </p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/AccessibilityMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityMatters</span></a></p>
Matthew Whitaker<p>Hey everyone, </p><p>I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to invite blind musicians, producers, and artists to join an **accessibility feedback group** for Sessionwire — a platform I’ve been using and really enjoying for a couple of years now. </p><p>**What is Sessionwire?** <br>Sessionwire is a remote music collaboration platform that allows musicians, producers, and audio professionals to work together in real time. It offers studio-quality audio, high-definition video, and seamless integration with popular DAWs, letting users collaborate on projects as if they were in the same room. </p><p>**Why am I reaching out?** <br>One of the developers at Sessionwire has asked me to bring together a group of blind users to help improve the platform’s accessibility. They already know which areas need work and are eager to collaborate with us to make Sessionwire better for everyone. </p><p>**Interested in participating?** <br>If you’re interested, **please reach out to me privately (one-on-one)** and send me the email address you’d like to use for communication. If you plan to use the same address to sign up for Sessionwire, let me know; otherwise, please also send the email you’ll use for your Sessionwire account. </p><p>If you have **any questions**, feel free to let me know! </p><p>Let’s work together to make Sessionwire more accessible for the blind community! </p><p><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlindMusicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindMusicians</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AccessibilityMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityMatters</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/MusicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicTechnology</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/RemoteCollaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteCollaboration</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Sessionwire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sessionwire</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlindProducers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindProducers</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/InclusiveMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveMusic</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AccessibilityInTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityInTech</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlindArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindArtists</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AccessibilityFeedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityFeedback</span></a></p>

Christine LuBean<p>🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨</p><p>There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:</p><p>❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).<br>❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).<br>❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).</p><p>📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:<br>Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.</p><p>If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.</p><p>More details here: <a href="https://dredf.org/protect-504/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">dredf.org/protect-504/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>📢 Please share this!

Aaron<p>Someone plays music in the background during a meeting. They ask if it's bothering people. Neurotypical folks on the call quickly speak up and say it's fine.</p><p>The autistic person on the call (me):</p><p>1. has extreme difficulty participating in or even following the meeting due to the inability to separate foreground from background noise</p><p>2. experiences distress from sensory overload</p><p>3. spends the whole meeting stressing over how to bring it up in a side channel without taking the wrong tone and offending the person due to social communication difficulties</p><p>4. questions whether it should even be brought up, or if they're just being "too sensitive" due to a lifetime of conditioning to treat their own needs as invalid just because they're aren't "typical"</p><p>Meanwhile, no one on the call even realizes something is wrong or that the autistic person just got screwed over, completely by accident.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AccessibilityMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityMatters</span></a> <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>
