Gentle request that if u would like to add my tags to a post for whatever reason, pls copy/paste rather than taking a screenshot so that the post remains accessible to visually impaired users! If you’re on mobile and can’t copy/paste, I’m always happy to provide a transcription :]

#meg talks #i don’t wanna sound all high and mighty especially considering it’s really just been this past year that i’ve been learning abt these things #but yeah i do try to make this blog as accessible as i know how to #so i would prefer that if people are going to post my tags which are… err… a part of my blog i guess #then they pls do so in an accessible way #not that i ever mind reblogging and adding an image description #it’s not that it annoys me or smth #but if i do that then there’s still an inaccessible version of my post in the reblog chain #ppl might see the version w the screenshots but not my description #if that makes sense #coughs anyway #oh also aside from the fact that the text can be read by screen readers #there’s also the fact that users can to some degree customize the way text posts are displayed #to avoid eye strain or triggering migraines and such #but that’s not smth you can really do for images #a lot of the time i see tags screenshotted in day mode w the light gray text against the white background #for some ppl that’s quite hard to read #if not tiring/painful to try #personally at one point in 2020 i was so sick that even having my eyes open for very long was exhausting and painful #and this went on for A Long While #so i would have appreciated these kinds of things and still do when im dealing w migraines #also i just moved into an apartment and didn’t have wifi for like a week!!#image/video descriptions were super helpful bc a lot of the time nothing would load at all #tl;dr there’s lots of reasons someone might need a transcription
