The wonderful @ushilotus.bsky.social illustrated my low-poly fursona from Webfishing in a real-ish style with humanoid proportions AND a chibi style! #FurryArt #Furry #Art

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

After reading what these motherfuckers said, I urge you to leave comments that warn others of who they are on their below Steam profiles. Not only that, but also to report "Juicy" to Team 6ix from the competitive Dead by Daylight scene, as they state that they're a player for the team: (3/5)

Can someone kindly tell me what this flag in #FinalFantasyVIIRemake is meant to represent?:

Happy Pride Month!

"Two Wrongs Don't Always Make a Right" Looking at the repeat assaulter laying unconscious on the sidewalk, I realize two things: That I definitely won't take squat from jerks, and that this guy only looks like my assaulter. #OneSentenceStory #MicroFiction #ShortStory #WritingCommunity #Writing

Warning(s) for: spoilers for Another Crab's Treasure and a piece from its soundtrack. "We Victims Scream as One - My Thoughts on 'Praya Dubia, The Final Scream' From Another Crab's Treasure" www.tumblr.com/active-hoper.... #AnotherCrab'sTreasure #Soundtrack #IndieGames #Video-Games

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

When you can, avoid number-only date formats. Sighted users could be confused on whether the first number is the month or day. If you've incorrectly designated your document's language, screen reader users might hear the wrong date. Writing out the month prevents this confusion.

If a word has some letters replaced with asterisks or symbols, this could confuse people. This includes people with cognitive and reading disabilities, and those learning the language. Screen reader users won't necessarily know what the word is meant to be, as it could sound like gibberish.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and useless, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.

Automatic captions make it difficult to watch videos because the viewer is forced to decipher misspelled or mistranslated words that appear in a string of text without any punctuation. These can be distracting and disorienting. Always edit your captions before publishing.

The Fright Train Survival Demo is out NOW!! 🥶 Get a taste of our action survival horror roguelite in which you play a dog paranormal special agent fighting through a huge train in Antarctica! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy76...

Accessibility awareness and training are good first steps, but they aren't the end. Teams need to create accessibility policies and strategies based on that training and newfound knowledge. Managers must empower people to enforce policies to make sure everyone does their part.

In anticipation of convention season, I've been making new stickers. #RE9 #RERquiem #ResidentEvil #LeonKennedy

To avoid being censored by social media platforms, some people intentionally misspell words or replace letters with symbols or numbers. This causes confusion and problems for screen reader users, people with cognitive and reading disabilities, and people learning the language.

New patch for the Fright Train Demo playtest, which is now OPEN to all! 🧟💥🔫🐶 Thank you so much for all the feedback we've already received, we're super pumped about this project!! Patch notes over here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/457...

On the Democratic side, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he’ll force a vote on using Congress’ war powers to restrain #Trump. Call your senators and your representative to keep the pressure on them to rein Trump in. 5calls.org/issue/stop-i... @5calls.org #callyourrep #iran

Avoid using images of big blocks of text on your website. Using actual text instead of images of text will help screen reader users, but also will help people with reading disabilities. Using actual text helps users who need to adjust the text's font, color, size, and alignment.
