    In 1950, two researchers noticed something that didn’t quite add up. Hector #Chevigny, a writer who had lost his sight in adulthood, and #psychologist Sydell #Braverman were studying the #psychological lives of blind people when they stumbled upon an intriguing pattern ...

    Not voting, as I was born #disabled

    In the #blind community, I was #sighted, although I was born with #cataracts and have always been #LegallyBlind. My dad was blind, and navigated everywhere with his #whitecane. He ws part of an #advocacy #organiztion, and he traveled around the #US by air. His sister, my Aunt Buffy, was a #COBOL #programmer for Sears in #Chicago. She took me to her work once. We rode the #El with her #GuideDog, Ginger.

    This meant that it was tough to get away with "Blind kids can't. . ." unless I'd actually *tried*..

  13. CW: hashtag oversaturation, absolutely non-screenreader friendly

    I #do #not #understand the #urge to #put a #hashtag in #front of #random #words in #toots.

    #Besides the #fact that it is a #pain in the #ass for #screenreader #users, #most of those #hashtags are just #useless and do #not even #help to #reach a #bigger #audience.
    On the #contrary, even for #sighted #folks it's #hard to #read, so they #probably #ignore the #post and just #continue #scrolling.

    #JustSaying.

  18. Ok, question for all my #sighted friends on here. Why are you guys seemingly obsessed with app icons? Apple announced their new Creator Studio bundle last week, and everyone is upset because the app icons look bad I guess? Like why do you care, it's like me getting mad because the app name is stupid or something. I don't get it.

  39. #Blind and #PartiallySighted people on Mastodon and the Fediverse use special apps called “screen readers” that read text out loud, so they can tell what is on the screen.

    There are many things that #sighted people can do to make their posts more accessible to people using #Screen Readers.

    It is all fine. And also there are #SpeechToText apps, allowing people dictate their posts. But wouldn't it be nice to have a #VoiceMessages available as well? In a way similar to instant communicators? It could work as a #ServerSide #plugin or in a client. Perhaps somebody is already working on it?
