#ScreenReader users! I have a question regarding fillable #PDF forms and document structure.

Many of these forms come with a (graphic) tabular structure on top of the actual content structure. Would it be okay to drop the table during tagging for #accessibility reasons or should it be included so that the screen-read "appearance" matches the visible appearance of the document?

Feel free to include your Ko-Fi/PayPal link in the response, I gladly pay for advice! #a11y #needHelpWith

Hello! Do you like magical cats from space?

I made a text-based character creator so that you can have one for your very own!

It's 5-10 mins to play and totally free. ^_^

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

A while ago, I saw a toot from someone linking to a website where an algorithm would produce an endless beat of electronic music (from lo-fi to techno, depending on the settings).

Sadly, I haven't bookmarked that.

Anyone here knows what I'm talking about and can help me finding it?

i guess to start please look at the two best cat pics i have ever taken

So... the Dutch city of Utrecht has an underwater webcam at a particular lock that is not used by ships much in spring. People can watch for fishes waiting to get inland, and can ring a "doorbell" to alert the lock keeper so they might open the lock if there are enough fish waiting...

hey does someone have that lesbian flag meme handy that assigns one of the stripes to each letter in "lesbian" and then spells alternate versions?

Who has 2 thumbs and no current #knitting project? It me!
There are some finishing touches left on my #UrsinaSweater, but first: blocking and final fit check.

I've recently learned that there are apparently enzyme sticks that you can throw into your drains to keep them clean and blockage-free long-term.

I'm someone who generally forgets to clean drains regularly and thus have to deal with more or less nasty blockages every now and then, so these sound like a pretty good solution to me.

Does anyone have experience with these? Do they actually work all that well? Or is this just a gimmick with good marketing?

Boosts appreciated.
I'm close to moving back to Windows. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to hold oneself back, deny oneself better and easier accessibility in the name of open source, when many open source developers don't give a crap about accessibility, and/or don't educate themselves on it. KDE connect, GSConnect, all were inaccessible for one reason or another, not the least because of Gnome-shell's terrible accessibility issues. That was just the last straw. With the only thing holding me to Linux being Emacs+Emacspeak, I think its time to quit Linux and just use what actually works. It's interesting how being "free" just means being under the power and whim of other people, a mass of developers who have no insentive for accessibility, rather than a cohesive company who does. This is serious, and I want every developer to understand this, understand my deep frustration with FOSS.

I'm amazed what some people do with simple strips of wood… #kumiko #woodworking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuqwJz9RNE

Being autistic, I deeply, deeply appreciate everyone here who CW's eye contact and selfies. Often I'm happy to see humans, and I just need a heads up so I am not taken by surprise.

Thanks all
