a child came into the nature center and saw tadpoles for the first time and when i told him they're baby frogs he thought i was lying and i suddenly realized that if you're 3 and don't know that tadpoles become frogs it does sound pretty fake. this kid will not fall for made up shit online he is a born skeptic.

I have a client who communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word.

If she has something to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.

Whenever she wants to email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its background.

But my favorite thing was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL (“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word, made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.

I was so fascinated I didn’t even say anything.

2025: A closeted trans girl takes estrogen while boymoding (not socially transitioning). All her friends kinda know because she has like C cup breasts and an hourglass figure, but they respect her enough to let her come out on her own terms. 2050: A closeted furry takes CRISPR CAS 9 injections to become their fursona while humanmoding (not socially transitioning). All their friends kinda know because they are covered in fur and straight up vored an entire rotisserie chicken from Costco Galactic Enterprise Corporation (still $4.99), but they respect them enough to let them come out on their own terms.

any image description is better than no image description. That being said, here’s a very basic template:

Image description: a [type of image] of [subject.] [Specific relevant details.]

Examples: - A photograph of a field of wildflowers. - A digital illustration of a dog. - A traditional collage of North American woodland animals. Text reads “Eat the rich.” - Several paintings of a person. In the first two their eyes are blue and in the last one their eyes are red. - A digital illustration of Frisk from the video game Undertale. They are balancing a hotdog on their head.

There are much more comprehensive guides out there written by blind/vision impaired folks who use screen readers- this is just to get you started if the whole thing seems overwhelming or inaccessible. (Remember conflicting access needs don’t mean anyone is at fault.)

In the early 1990s, LL Cool J confided in his grandmother that he feared his rap career would fade amid the rise of gangsta rap. She encouraged him, saying, “Oh baby, just knock them out,” which inspired his 1990 hit “Mama Said Knock You Out”, a Grammy-winning and platinum-certified single.
