Get Out and #ExploreNature in #NewJersey
"Find an #Accessible #Park or #NaturalArea
We’ve compiled a directory of parks and natural and scenic areas throughout the state that are accessible for people with disabilities. We’ve included trails and nature sites that have firm and even surfaces for individuals with #mobility concerns, #BrailleTrails and #AudioResources for #blind or #LowVision visitors, nature sites that offer #InclusiveProgramming, sites with #AdaptiveAmenities, and equipment to make visitor experiences more enjoyable. We are evaluating and adding new sites, so be sure to check back or sign up for email updates."

Packing to travel to the OSHWA Open Healthware Conference this morning! I'm excited to attend two workshops: (1) Open Healthware Medical Product Certification workshop, and (2) a Doctors and Makers workshop, where we brainstorm new medical products that could benefit from being FOSH. I'll be giving a talk representing work at @bce on the 9th at 10:30 AM. Videos will be posted after the conference. I'm so excited... 🙂

RE: https://friendhole.social/@beandreams/116870691137244274
This.
I'm an old, and I attended a #school for #blind and #lowVision students. One class we were required to take was #homeEc. My class was half boys and half girls.
Yes, we learned cooking and sewing, but we also learned how to iron and fold clothes, towels, and bedding, how to set the table (including for multiple courses), ettiquette (pullihg out a chair for someone, choosing from the menu when someone else is paying, etc.).
As a grown-ass adult, I can choose to do all the things however I want. Grouping my bedding into handy grab-and-go works for me.

I made some readability updates to my site today after hearing that one of my posts was hard to read.
The changes are meant to make the site more low-vision friendly:
- larger article/list text
- darker body text
- less reliance on italic text for longer notes
- cleaner post previews on category pages
I’m totally blind, so I can test structure, keyboard access, screen reader behavior, headings, and content flow, but I can’t personally judge visual readability.
If you use magnification, low-vision settings, high contrast, dark mode, reader mode, or have visual fatigue/migraine/contrast sensitivity, I’d appreciate feedback.
Does anything still feel too small, too light, too crowded, or visually tiring?

Video calls on Android with the video showing on a TV display.
Anyone here doing this?
We've got Android phones and an Android TV box.
They're on Apple.We use (genocide-complicit Meta) WhatsApp to talk currently.
Just a short description of how you'd get video showing on a TV at the Android end would be helpful. (I can see doing a WhatsApp video call will be the start.)

@JeffBishop is the best! He & his incredible team are doing amazing things for @bitsacb & for the #Blind & #LowVision community as a whole, which is why I took the opportunity to become a life member when they offered it for half price around Thanksgiving last year.

Accessibility in action!
PCB is proud to highlight Chris Hunsinger, Golden Triangle Council of the Blind President, as she tests Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s new Ready2Ride fare card vending machines.
Chris is helping evaluate accessibility features for riders who are blind or have low vision.
Accessible transportation matters. Fare machines, kiosks, apps, and transit systems should be usable by everyone.

🌐💙 Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day from PCB!
Today reminds us that accessibility must be part of everything we create.
Accessibility means alt text, screen reader friendly design, labeled buttons, keyboard navigation, accessible PDFs, audio description, clear headings, and good contrast.
Accessibility is not extra. It is a right, not a luxury.

My hope is that both Samsung and Google take into consideration the backlash over privacy concerns with Google Glass, and its negative affect on those who are blind or have low vision and depend on this technology.
What are your thoughts about smart glasses and how they can be used to benefit the visually impaired?

Thank you for making PRC’s conference such a success!
The Philadelphia Regional Chapter’s Living Your Best Accessible Life conference brought together the blind & low vision community for a day of fellowship, resources, empowerment & connection.
The turnout was incredible. It was truly standing room only.
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, presented, supported, shared resources & helped make the day possible.

@moritzdietz I’m not #blind or #lowVision, but one value of #AltText for me is that if I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be noticing in the image, alt text highlights the important details - if there is a subtle detail or joke, it can be useful, even for someone who can see the image!
It’s also important to note in all conversations with AI, that these tools are not free, and image processing can use a significant amount of tokens. We should not gate understanding behind a pay-wall.

🇲🇽 Happy Cinco de Mayo from the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind!
Today we celebrate culture, history, community, and connection.
As communities gather for festivals, meals, music, and events, accessibility matters. Inclusive planning helps people who are blind or have low vision fully take part in the celebration.
Culture and community should be open to everyone.
