@milo-handsoftime youre a homestuck enjoyer, right?

so bECAUSE OF THE UPDATE I WENT OUTSIDE AND STARTED SCREAMING AT 12AM SO NATURALLY SOMEONE THOUGHT I WAS BEING MURDERED AND CALLED THE POLICE AND WHEN THEY GOT HERE I HAD TO GIVE THEM MY EXPLANATION FOR SCREAMING AT 12AM SO I JUST SAID HOMESTUCK AND ONE OF THE COPS EYES SUDDENLY GOT REALLY BIG AND THEN HE SAID “IT UPDATED??!?” AND THEN HE READ THE UPDATE ON HIS PHONE I HAVE A GROWN POLICE MAN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY CRYING AND CURSING AT HUSSIE UNDER HIS BREATH HIS PARTER GAVE HIM A SHOCK BLANKET OH MY GOD 

so ive been on here for a year now. wow

it's almost like I can barely walk and need extra things to put weight on besides my legs.

Well, that got reblogged to the wrong blog. Anyways analogy time.

A plumber is working a job. They need a wrench, but for whatever reason, they don't have one. So, they call a friend, co-worker, or even their client if they have a wrench. Once they are given a wrench, they can finish their job properly.

Accessibility tools are the wrench, and the plumber's job is life. We need these tools to live and function how we want to, but we can't always get them by ourselves. My wrench is screen readers, alt text, and image IDs. I can get myself a screen reader, but how can I make alt text or image IDs for something I can't see?

Wrenches can be substituted for mobility aids, service dogs, non-speaking communication alternatives, or anything else that makes life easier for people. Glasses, damnit. Those help many people see, but if they can't see their way to the optometrist, they can't get them

on a VASTLY different note, my friends were all really sweet and accommodating when I needed to use a screenreader and couldn't see their images. They all put image descriptions and/or alt text with everything they posted until I could see right again. THIS is how to make the world accessible. THIS is the type of "oh alright here's a tool for you" mentality more people need

Shoutout to GTVS, yall are awesome
