Today I'm really struggling physically and mentally with my hand pain. So for #DecRecs I'm reccing "Elder, an Aesthetic" by MarbleGlove https://archiveofourown.org/works/40189629 (gen, #TheUntamed, 8k words)

This is a very soothing fic about learning to live with disability

finally following up on this…

Here is the list of problems that our instance has identified with the Mastodon 4.0 upgrade, and how much work I think it will take to address these issues. I think we will probably want to fix all the things which aren’t labelled “Hard” before we merge in the latest changes here.

Gonna reshare our image description advice thread from April - feel free to share the above around with anyone who might need it!

Alternatively, share these other resources on the same subject:

- @AmaBagins's thread from a Digital Accessibility Tester perspective, which has a bunch more resources: https://mastodon.art/@AmaBagins/109321545433041372

- @M0YNG's extensive guide, which covers lots of different fediverse UIs: https://m0yng.uk/Image-descriptions-on-the-Fediverse/

- @Curator's short and sweet guide for artists: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/108197411515405526

Writing image descriptions can be a hard habit to pick up, and it can be tricky to do, but it makes a difference and you can get good at it and develop your own style.

Thanks for your time!

poll that i'm intentionally doing here and not @MindmeshLink

do you identify yourself as "disabled" primarily *to other people* in any context

like, not just saying *what disability* you have, ie "depressed", but do you tell other people "i'm disabled" or put "disabled" or "cripple" or any variant of it in your bios online

i am not asking "are you disabled and do you identify at all with the concept of disability" to be clear, this is a social phenomenon wondering, and nondisabled people are included and should say "never"

to celebrate solstice here is my Mari Lwyd print scanned in nicely! I hope your longest night is warm and cosy and the shorter days are full of good things!

#DecRecs copperbadge rarely needs introduction, but i’ll attempt to give him one nonetheless—sam does an excellent job blending his own style with more period appropriate language in this, the result of which is a lot of enjoyable wordplay and other turns of phrase without ever distracting from the narrative

inspired by the bit in the cold open where aziraphale and crowley watch a rehearsal of hamlet, though it’d work well enough as a pre-canon interlude for the book instead if you prefer

@gaditb one time i refused to let #cats trend on this instance and so @aescling went in and forked the code to make #cats always trend (in a merge request i reviewed but shhh) and that is entirely the kind of energy we go for here
