#and as someone who doesn't use a screenreader i'm not quite sure which one is right

[lettersregardingjeeves]

So Mr. Wooster contacted me recently to let me know that he's awfully braced about adding some of the original illustrations he got when he published his stories in magazines, but he's got a dilemma about the image descriptions and hasn't the foggiest idea how to solve it. And as his secretary, I would like to ask a question on his behalf.

hi welcome

he/him, it/its, xe/xyr. ND disabled transfag, gay trans boy. not putting your age in your bio is online privacy 101 but for those who need to know i am over 18.

no DNI but i do block liberally. this is a strictly inclusionist space and i will not tolerate presuming to know someone else's experiences better than they do or demonization (etc.) attached to any identity. in particular i would like to mention that those with paraphilias and paraphilic disorders are welcome here. yes, even the big three.

I always want my blog to be more accessible, and welcome feedback or suggestions on how to do so.

If I add an image description to your post, please edit it in with or without credit. If you want to reblog a different chain/version of a post I've added a description to, please copy the relevant description into your reblog, again with or without credit.

If you want to include my tags in your reblog, please either copy/paste or describe your screenshot.

Tagging system is in the works, I have a few running tags but they're not very consistent. If you want me to tag something, ask me and I will either tag it or tell you that I won't.

Accessibility tags:

# undescribed : for any image or video that isn't described

# description implied : for when there isn't an ID explicitly written out, but it's easy to infer the image from the rest of the post

# image incidental or irrelevant : for when a post can be understood without any of the (undescribed) images

# described : (inconsistent) for when an image or video is described

# id in alt : (inconsistent) for when an image is described in the alt text

# captioned : video may not be transcribed or described, but you can get all necessary information from either the video or the audio, without needing the other. if there's small differences between captions and audio i may tag this and then add a second tag with what the differences are rather than type a full description.

# minimal audio : for when a video can be understood without the audio. i may add a short description of the audio in the tags rather than a full description.

note: i'm in the process of rethinking how i tag for videos, and will likely do more to separate out the visual and audio components in my tagging, as those are (in)accessible to separate groups of people. i'm going to continue using these tags for now but may be adding new ones and updating this in the future.

# no plaintext : (inconsistent) for posts with cursive, zalgo, more than a few words in all caps or colour, leetspeak, heavy typing quirks, or any other form of text that may not be easily readable or screenreader friendly, and that don't have a plaintext version included

# plaintext : (inconsistent) for posts with any of the above that have a plaintext version included

# flashing : (inconsistent) for flashing lights

# eyestrain : (inconsistent) for stuff that seems eyestrain-y

# unreality : (inconsistent) for unreality

# unreality maybe : (inconsistent) for stuff that i'm not sure whether or not is unreality, which is more often than being sure

note: may add a tag for stuff that isn't real but is more of a bit that doesn't fall into typical unreality triggers - think promotional posts for things that don't exist, onion headlines, and the like. The closest i have right now is # satire but that doesn't feel quite right for everything in this category.

Other tags:

# faggotry-enjoyer original : for my posts

# faggotry-enjoyer asks : for asks

# faggotry-enjoyer additions : for when i add in the text of a reblog rather than just tags, excluding image descriptions

# horny on main : what it says on the tin

quite a few others that are primarily vibes-based and which i barely keep track of in my head.
