For Spring '22, I will be making History of the English language materials such as maps, tables of runes, descent trees, and chain shift diagrams accessible to people with visual impairment using the PIAF machine at my university. Very excited about this!

@Sanscelerien_pt De que adianta sermos génios se não formos humanos?
O Fediverse distingue-se das redes mainstream e foi formado precisamente com o ser humano, todos os seres humanos, no centro da questão.

For those who kindly share your great works with us, I ask you to consider spending a couple of minutes more including an alt text describing your beautiful works so that those whose vision is impaired can also see them.
A tip: Since you like #art, be it #paintings #sculptures, #photography... help others by reading them the colours, the positions of the objects, the textures, the scenes, etc...
You'll get more boosts and make more people happy!

Until I joined Mastodon, I hadn’t realised why people described their photos - I thought it was just a bit arty farty. Then I found out why they do it and I do it too now (unless I forget!). As well as helping visually impaired people to experience the photos, I also enjoy finding the words to describe my photos. #Blindnessandvisualimpairment #visuals #inclusion #captionyourimages
