  1. The #SolarpunkCity is #Accessible

    by Commando Jugendstil and Tales from the EV Studio

    "How do people move around the solarpunk city?

    With public transportation which has been enormously expanded. Private transportation is mostly limited to adapted vehicles for special #MobilityNeeds, and vehicles are available through #SharedOwnership schemes.
    It’s concert season in the solarpunk city and Webby has decided to go to the auditorium on her Isetta EV, specially adapted for people with her mobility needs. It can be boarded through a ramp, and the steering, which features an extra wheel to control brakes and accelerator, can be moved out of the way to allow Webby to board and disembark seamlessly. Strictly speaking, the car is not just hers… It is part of a dedicated #CarSharing scheme, managed through a municipalized distributed ownership programme. Next to her, Diego, a #SightImpaired musician, follows the orange path painted on the floor towards the Auditorium: the sensors in his next-gen walking stick can tell him where to turn and how far it is."

  10. I think I have just given myself #RSI by using a refreshable braille display. Or possibly that plus doom-scrolling using Android #accessibility mode and my highly ergonomic typing position. Maybe I should use that desk.

    Don't tell HR.

  13. Being sight-impaired, people often ask me what my vision is like. As I’ve been sight impaired since birth I can’t explain how my sight differs, as this is all I’ve ever known. I can describe the posterior vitreous detachments though, as they’re more recent. I have large round floaters roughly in my central vision. I’ve drawn them both here, alongside a rough pastel sketch of the view of a cedar tree through my left eye.

  17. Being a partially-sighted artist, I’m fascinated by how differently we all see the world.

    Because of the angle of the sunlight, the shadows in this photo of a footprint appear on the lower edge of the imprint rather than the upper edge. Our brains expect light to come from above, so i see this as a footprint shape sticking up out of the sand rather than indented into it.

    How do you see it?

  22. Also, rather than hound people who don’t use ALT text, just refuse to like or boost pictures that don’t have ALT text.

    You could also repost their memes, screenshots, etc. and add your own ALT text. Don’t do this with their own pictures/artwork ofc, but pictures that aren’t theirs anyway are fair game. It’s not about teaching people a lesson; it’s about discouraging ableism and fostering an inclusive environment.

  27. A gentle reminder that this is Disability Pride Month—a perfect time to get into the habit of adding ALT text to any pictures you post. There are many sight-impaired individuals who would appreciate it, and even those with excellent vision sometimes need clarity on what is going on in a picture, or what is significant about it. ALT text is also a great opportunity to add more context, humor, or commentary.

  32. Leckhampton Hill Trig Point is another pointillism-style watercolour painting, based on a walk on Leckhampton Hill. This is the view across towards Charlton Kings Common from the trig point at the top of the hill.

  36. Leckhampton Hill Walk is a recent pointillism-style watercolour painting. Unable to drive, I draw much inspiration from local spaces I can walk to.

    This is a view from along the cross-country walk up towards the top of Leckhampton Hill.

    I love fallen trees and the wealth of microbial biodiversity that makes them their home as the wood slowly decays.

  44. I put the finishing touches to this landscape this week.

    Some of the landscapes I am painting, like this one, feature benches. Thanks to Long Covid, I don’t do well with standing up while staying still, so a bench is always a welcome sign to me.

  48. From snowdrops to bas relief.

    I like to feel the shapes of leaves and flowers, to stroke grass heads, to feel the texture of bark. Bring sight-impaired, these tactile actions are part of my enjoyment of time in nature.

    I am incorporating tactile elements in the local nature-inspired artworks I am creating. This includes bas reliefs of plants.
