#ada for websites

[0littleblue0]

So I was watching Chicago (2002) on my roku and Apple has censored all of the closed captions. It’s a PG-13 movie and Deaf teens and adults should be able to read the same fucking cuss word on the screen that the actors actually say.

Should say “shit” instead of “squat”.

Should say “ass” instead of “eye”.

If you're cool with me asking, but do you happen to have any other social media sites we can follow you at?

I'm realizing I spend most of my time on Tumblr with this ask,,, but I do have Bluesky (Cooler Twitter, but I use it less than Tumblr) and a Neocities site (not really social media, essentially a sporadic HTML scrapbook the way I do things).

I also do Art Fight every year if you're in those circles. And, if we're lucky, I'll be using ComicFury regularly before the end of the year, perhaps? <:3c

I have Discord, too - not hard to find, but I do tend to decline people I don't immediately recognize...

blogging tips

[fisksaturday]

if you think youtube comment sections are bad regularly just wait until you find a disabled creator and look at their comments. it's always ppl like being like "wow its so amazing how this person can handle being like that and have such a good sense of humor about it" up to the most vitriolic like "EWEWEWWW THIS MADE ME THROW UP" shit. or of course "wow this is so unsettling to look at!"

dont even get me started on the comments of videos by people with service dogs. there's like, an extreme obsession with fakeclaiming those people in particular

Hi, so, I read both of these posts. It seems like your first source regarding Prediabetes came from a Lancet article back in 2012. Not necessarily saying this automatically disproves what you're talking about, but the fact of the matter is that 2012 was still a point in time when doctors and the general public were in agreement that the fault of Type 2 could at least relatively easily be put on the shoulders of - if nice, the food industry and how much everything around us has added sugars, and if not, the people who have Type 2 on account of bad dieting.

I'm not entirely certain this post is saying that "if you have impaired glucose tolerance you're kind of fucked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯," but it seems more on the lines of "don't guilt yourself into an eating disorder, if your doctor's not a piece of shit they'll walk you through what's going on."

I'm saying this from experience, I got told I had a high insulin resistance and high glucose levels, and I'm on some medicine right now to try and get my body to go down to safer levels before this causes me any major problems. My doctor recommended I try and aim for a low carb diet to help with the medicine, something I've been trying to do, but I've decided to relax on at least slightly after the first week where it ended with me blacking out from eating so little.

My being at risk has been known since I was a child, but all of my doctors back then, and my parents today, have tried to imply or directly tell me it is my fault and if I don't lose weight I'll have type-2 diabetes. Years I have been at risk. Years I've dealt with hypoglycemia without even knowing the name of it. Years my doctors saw all the signs, but never bothered to try and check my blood. Years my own parents insisted I must have narcolepsy, even though they also suffered signs of hypoglycemia.

It has only been this year that a doctor decided to actually check my blood levels to see what was happening instead of assuming they already knew. Posts like these with articles containing multiple sources are actually really important. Had I seen this when I was first given the medicine, I might not have malnourished myself, and I might not have been so angry with the world around me, and myself, for that first week.

I saw a comment on your blog that says 'the way you eat does not cause diabetes'...are you able to expand on that or provide a source I could read? I've been told by doctors that my pre-diabetes was due to weight gain because I get more hungry on my anti psychotics and I'd like to fact check what they've told me! Thank you so much!

Pre-diabetes was rejected as a diagnosis by the World Health Organization (although it is used by the US and UK) - the correct term for the condition is impaired glucose tolerance. Approximately 2% of people with "pre-diabetes" go on to develop diabetes per year. You heard that right - TWO PERCENT. Most diabetics actually skip the pre-diabetic phase.

There are currently no treatments for pre-diabetes besides intentional weight loss. (Hmm, that's convenient, right?) There has yet to be evidence that losing weight prevents progression from pre-diabetes to T2DM beyond a year. Interestingly, drug companies are trying to persuade the medical world to start treating patients earlier and earlier. They are using the term “pre-diabetes” to sell their drugs (including Wegovy, a weight-loss drug). Surgeons are using it to sell weight loss surgery. Everyone’s a winner, right? Not patients. Especially fat patients.

Prediabetes: The epidemic that never was, and shouldn’t be

The war on ‘prediabetes' could be a boon for pharma—but is it good medicine?

Also - I love what Dr. Asher Larmie @fatdoctorUK has to say about T2DM and insulin resistance, so here's one of their threads I pulled from Twitter:

1️⃣ You can't prevent insulin resistance. It's coded in your DNA. It may be impacted by your environment. Studies have shown it has nothing to do with your BMI.

2️⃣ The term "pre-diabetes" is a PR stunt. The correct term is impaired glucose tolerance (or impaired fasting glucose) which is sometimes referred to as intermittent hyperglycemia. It does not predict T2DM. It is best ignored and tested for every 3-5yrs.

3️⃣ there is no evidence that losing weight prevents diabetes. That's because you can't reverse insulin resistance. You can possibly postpone it by 2yrs? Furthermore there is evidence that those who are fat at the time of diagnosis fair much better than those who are thin.

4️⃣ Weight loss does not reverse diabetes in the VAST majority of people. Those that do reverse it are usually thinner with recent onset T2DM and a low A1c. Only a tiny minority can sustain that over 2yrs. Weight loss does not improve A1c levels beyond 2 yrs either.

5️⃣ Weight loss in T2DM does not improve macrovascular or microvascular health outcomes beyond 2 years. In fact, weight loss in diabetics is associated with increased mortality and morbidity (although it is not clear why). Weight cycling is known to impacts A1c levels.

6️⃣ Weight GAIN does NOT increase the risk of cardiovascular OR all causes mortality in diabetics. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that it's better to be fat and diabetic than to be thin and diabetic.

Dr. Larmie cites 18 peer reviewed journal articles (most from the last decade) that are included in their webinar on the subject, linked below.

Is Your Website ADA Compliant? Here's Why You Need ADA Website Compliance Services Now

In today’s digital age, your website is often the first point of contact between your business and potential customers. But if your site isn’t accessible to everyone—including people with disabilities—you could be missing out on opportunities, and worse, putting your business at legal risk. That’s where ADA website compliance services come in.

What Is ADA Website Compliance?

ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. Although originally created for physical spaces, it now also applies to websites. The idea is simple: digital content should be accessible to everyone, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.

To meet ADA standards, your website must follow guidelines that allow users with disabilities to interact with your content seamlessly—whether through screen readers, keyboard navigation, or alternative text for images.

Why ADA Website Compliance Matters

1. Legal Protection

Failing to comply with ADA regulations can open the door to lawsuits. In recent years, thousands of businesses—big and small—have faced legal action for not having accessible websites. ADA compliance services help you avoid these risks by ensuring your website meets the required standards, typically based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

2. Better User Experience

An accessible website isn't just good for users with disabilities—it’s good for all users. Clean navigation, readable text, proper contrast, and descriptive links make it easier for everyone to use your site. That translates to higher engagement, lower bounce rates, and increased customer satisfaction.

3. Boost SEO

Search engines love accessible websites. Features like proper HTML structure, image alt tags, and clear content hierarchy improve your SEO rankings, helping more people find your business online.

4. Inclusivity and Brand Reputation

Today’s consumers expect businesses to be inclusive and socially responsible. By investing in ADA compliance, you’re showing that your brand values accessibility and equality—something that resonates with a wide audience and strengthens your brand’s reputation.

What ADA Website Compliance Services Include

A professional ADA website compliance service typically offers:

Accessibility Audits: A comprehensive review of your current site to identify accessibility barriers.

WCAG Implementation: Updates to your site’s design and code to align with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Screen Reader Testing: Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies.

Alt Text & ARIA Labels: Adding alternative text to images and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels where needed.

Keyboard Navigation Optimization: Making sure your site can be fully navigated using only a keyboard.

Ongoing Monitoring & Reports: Continuous checks to maintain compliance as your site evolves.

Who Needs ADA Website Compliance Services?

In short—every business with a website. But especially:

E-commerce stores

Healthcare providers

Educational institutions

Law firms and financial services

Government agencies

Hospitality and travel businesses

If your website offers products, services, or public information, it needs to be accessible.

Final Thoughts: Make Accessibility a Priority

ADA compliance isn’t just a legal checkbox—it’s a commitment to digital equality. By partnering with a reliable ADA website compliance service, you're not only protecting your business but also opening your digital doors to millions of potential users who deserve equal access.

they should've never made ada a hacker (specifically with her intercepting luis' emails to his college friend & that one scene in damnation where she forces the elevator to svetlana's laboratory to open to help leon & sasha + herself escape the self destruction sequence she intentionally activated) because i've taken it now to mean (i watch way too many computer software review & repair videos) she will be annoying about her preferred linux distributions to anyone who will listen, fellow spies, hackers & whichever partner wakes up to ada typing away on her laptop in their living room looking like she hasn't slept the whole night
