#colorblind #accessiblity

When a chef I trust pulled me aside to tell me about someone who's fighting the odds to start a hot sauce company, I took notice. Jacob Wilkinson, who is visually impaired, turned a pandemic project into Blowing Smoke, featuring Ontario-grown produce with fantastic names like Devil’s Night and Yellow Snow.

Am so honoured he let me tell his story.

Crowd sourcing accessibility information

https://angrybeanie.com/news/crowd-sourcing-accessibility-information

I talk about Alternative and augmentative communication a lot here. I’m working on a gift for my soon to be former SLP clinic. There are a handful of children that don’t have adequate access to toys. I wanted to donate an adapted toy and a beginner switch (basically a bigger button) to those kids just to prove to people around the child that the child is so capable ! I did the adapting myself and raised money to cover the cost from my local network. It makes my dream a bit! #aac #Accessiblity

Thanking @alt_text for reminding me that I forgot to add alt text to my last post (now fixed).

I highly recommend following it.

(And thank you for making it, @pup_hime)

My current interests are: #accessiblity, #AntiFascism, #identity, #IntersectionalFeminism, #LGBTQ (#trans, #NonBinary), politics, and race and curating posts to help people find information on these.

I also am very pro alt-text, content warnings and other info management tools. For people who dislike bookmarks:
