#ACCESSIBLE

[vampfire1]

accessibility is not just a (usually too steep) ramp and a half working elevator you need a key for. it's also:

access to mobility aids

closed captioning, interpreters, and transcripts for those who need them OR those who prefer them

sensory safe enviroments

dim lighting

flexible seating, lights, and noise control

online forms and websites that screen readers are able to access properly

elevators that are free for everyone to use

wider doors

braille

clear signage

transit that is easy to navigate

if your "accessible" space has a ramp that doubles as a slide and a sketchy elevator you need a key for, you're fucking doing it wrong.

having to enter your business through the back door where you take your trash out does not mean that your building is accessible!!!!!!

Plain text:

Please help Ahed take care of his children (praying hands emoji) (Palestinian flag emoji) They deserve to live just as much as any child born any other place, his daughters are innocent, but they’re targets of violence and being deprived of their basic needs from the occupation. If you have any money to spare, please donate to Ahed and his daughters. If you can’t donate right now, please share this post so it can reach people who can! Ahed’s campaign has been moving very slowly, sometimes going several days without donations (broken heart emoji)

Ahed @ahdanqar is the father of three young daughters under 10 years old, Fatima (9 years old), Iman (6 years old), and Nour (1 year old). Nour has never lived a life in peace. All of them have suffered through hunger and fear during important years of their childhood. Fatima, Iman and Nour deserve a safe childhood and enough food, they deserve to eat nutritious and delicious food, they deserve clean water and to get an education. This is the basic rights of all children, but it’s denied by the occupation. Ahed is living through every parents worst nightmare, seeing their children in pain and starving, and not being able to do anything to stop it.

But you can help relieve this pain. If you donate, the money will be used to feed his daughters and save up for evacuation in the future.

Please help Ahed take care of his children 🙏🏼🇵🇸 They deserve to live just as much as any child born any other place, his daughters are innocent, but they’re targets of violence and being deprived of their basic needs from the occupation.

in light of that recent interview with harry lloyd, here's me and my friend's jayvik fankid nadja!

...this townhouse once belonged to the Roosevelts. Inspired by the stoicism of Franklin D. Roosevelt after the onset of his polio, the designer decided to re-create the room thought to be the president's own as a child.

Something that I will never understand is how accessibility is always an afterthought. Wouldn’t it just be easier and cheaper to build accessible unisex toilets rather than a bunch of random gendered ones?

Gendered toilets is such a bizarre concept to me. Some people claim it’s for safety but if a creep wants to go into a toilet and creep on some people nothing is stopping them? Plus I know a lot of my guy friends wouldn’t hesitate to kick out and call out someone creeping on a woman for example.

It’s just like how TERFs don’t want transgender people in bathrooms. Hello?? Don’t you realise there is literally no law that is preventing anyone of the opposite sex from walking into the others bathroom. It’s a public toilet, a guy could walk into the woman’s bathroom if he wanted too, there is no laws or rules. God forbid “someone pretending to be a certain gender” walks in and uses the bathroom.

Plus why do I have to go walk to the other side of the shopping centre to find one that’s accessible and has a handrail, seems pretty stupid to make people who are assumably physically disabled travel to some random corner out of the way to use a bathroom.

Fucking weirdos.

Edit: I’m talking about the laws (or lack of laws) exclusive to Australia. I have not been to other countries while legally (or otherwise) identifying as Nonbinary so I can not speak on experiences elsewhere.

Went back to my original icon and updated my theme to a more basic & cleaner one with (hopefully) a working tag for my art... this blog needed some tidying up

He's cleaning a small bowl while looking up at mushi traversing the sky. Next to him lies his wooden backpack and a square piece of cloth filled with fruits. His skin is delicately illuminated with warmth of the sun. End ID]

Reblog if you'll let them eat your pringle crumbs 🥺

[ID copied from alt: A cartoony sketch of the Pokemon Venonat. It is a bug-like Pokemon resembling a tiny puff of purple fur with small feet and hands, very large red compound eyes, and long white antennae. It appears very small in the middle of the image and looks up at the viewer with its forefingers pressed together pleadingly. It is surrounded by several Pringles, which dwarf it, as well as Pringle crumbs. End ID.]

What if I did TAZ fanart for the first time in like 4 years but in my current style...haha just kidding...unless???

Anyway hiiiii Sloane love u miss u 🖤

[ID copied from alt: A drawing of Sloane from The Adventure Zone: Balance, shown from the waist up. She is a slender, brown-skinned half-elf with scars across her nose and lips and long, wavy, blue-black hair that blows in the wind. She is dressed in all black, including a yellow jacket with a feathered ruff and fingerless gloves. In her hands is a black motorcycle helmet with a birdlike beak, which she seems to have just removed. She stands in shadow near a wall and glances behind her, alert, as though having heard something. The sun sets behind a skyscraper in the pink-orange sky behind her. A few pink petals blow around her. End ID.]

Who was the genius who decided "you know what all Australian disabled toilets need? Frosted glass doors!"

Every disabled toilet built here (or at least in NSW) in the last few years have weird frosted glass doors, WHY? Who looked at a public toilet and thought "you know what makes me feel secure while taking a shit in public? Frosted glass!" And it's only the disabled ones. Occasionally family rooms will have them too, but men and women's toilets still have normal, non-see-through doors? Why did we get this?

And like, you can't actually see through them beyond a very vague, blurry shape, it's very heavy frosting, but it's still transparent enough where I can see people walking past. Surely no one wants that right? I'm not alone in this?

I'm pretty sure the reason they do it is, "subtle" hostile architecture to stop people "misusing" them (subtle as in it doesn't immediately stand out to people who don't use these toilets) and I already hate that excuse, but surely I'm not the only one who sees the issue with that plan? If it's see through enough to deter people from having sex in them or using them for drugs or anything like that (and all the other bs excuses people usually make for hostile architecture), it's also not really suitable for it's intended use anymore??

i’m going to start sharing tools i use for accessibility under Els Accessibility Tools!!

first up is an app called Remote Mouse. it allows you to connect your phone to your computer and use your phone screen as the mouse and keyboard for the computer! as someone who doesn’t have use of their hands, this has been an absolute game changer for my technology use. i hope that it can be helpful for you guys as well(:

EDIT: there is a free version as well

I was clothes shopping a week ago and the store only has one "accessible" changing stall and it was occupied. There were about 8 "normal" changing stalls but it was a mom with a kid who chose the bigger stall because it was much easier that way. When the mom left the stall for a moment i asked if she could please use a different stall, she immediately agreed and apologized, explaining it was much easier because she was there with her kid. And i completely understand that!

A bigger stall is much more comfortable to use, especially if you're not alone. The same goes for public bathrooms. Of course it's way nicer to use the toilet where you won't knock against the walls with every movement! The list of reasons that might make accessible toilets and changing rooms easier to use than regular ones even when you're not disabled is so long. There's a reason that those rooms are always occupied.

Maybe we could just normalize having more than one accessible option? Because accessibility benefits everyone. And especially in this case if you only keep one accessible stall but make all the other ones bigger, non-disabled people won't have a need to use the accessible one.

Normalize accessibility
