A note about accessibility for the blind

I think it would be incredibly useful if there were some function where one could turn off photos, and only be able to see text posts.

If I try to scroll through my dashboard it just goes "photo photo photo photo photo photo photo photo"ad nauseam.

Perhaps some sort of filter or way to go to 1 dashboard for photos and One dashboard for text. That, I could see being wildly useful for a number of people. Sometimes you want to look at art and sometimes you want to read.


The newest addition to changing font size and style when editing a post is quite inaccessible. It's very confusing to have the option to make text bigger pop up in a whole separate screen. Hard to navigate. It's very visual. I admire it from a design perspective for the people who can see but for me.. not so much.

Many of the buttons such as to click on a person's profile if you want to unfollow or block r "unlabeled", meaning my phone just says "unlabeled", so I have no idea what I'm clicking on. It's possible I could accidentally tip someone


Additionally, the ability to block people from all your blogs. If someone leaves a nasty comment on something from a side blog, you should be able to block them from your specific blog that they commented on, as well as your main blog. This is been an issue from the beginning. Shouldn't have to message someone or go on to a laptop to properly block them.

I was recently repeatedly harassed by someone and unable to block them because it was on my side blog, and they were using their side blog as well, which was definitely on purpose to make it even harder to block them.

Maybe when you hover over somebody's comment, and option should pop up to decide which blog/s you want to block them from.

I don't know the lingo to explain this last one as much, but maybe something that's easier to scroll with with two fingers. With many screen readers, you have to use two fingers to scroll, because one finger is used to drag around the screen to have it read out loud. Maybe a little sidebar where you can swipe up and down when it is selected, which is a feature that my phone does have. For example, if I click on volume controls, I can swipe up for up and down for down.

Oh yes, and this new thing where you can scroll through images only is kind of cool except they are not recognized as images by screen readers, and only read the username of the person who posted it, as well as asking to like and follow them. My phone can usually analyze pictures of text, but not through this feature.


Going through the whole app using a screen reader on IOS and Android would be a pretty good way to get an idea of some of the issues

I'd like to tag someone and I saw that really helpful woman whose username started with like. Zirg but I'll have to find it

If you care about accessibility for the blind on here, please boost as well! :-)

I just noticed my dough nation post is being hidden so:

I have an amazon list here (link) of food + basic necessities I could use some help with. I'd also be delighted if anyone could help with groceries via wall mart ecard or transportation via Uber ecard.

Links to both are on my list and my email address is thatdiabolicalfeminist@gmail.com

I'm not in crisis currently but I'm physically disabled and trying to live significantly below the poverty line with an income less than minimum wage and this is very difficult.

I did receive some dough nations from the other post and I'm extremely grateful to those who contributed!! I've been too sick to cook recently and I've been especially full of gratitude every time I reach for those snack bars and nuts!

However I could still really use some help if any financially secure adults want to make a poor disabled person's life easier.

unironically people need to learn to say “they haven’t done anything wrong i just find them annoying”

gummiebun

I personally think people need to understand that if someone hasn’t wronged you or anyone else, you should NOT dislike them. You don’t have to like them; just remain neutral.

hollowboobtheory

nope! this is the kind of attitude the leads to you picking apart every little thing a person does digging through their past for dirt and problematizing everything about them, exaggerating harm, assuming the worst about them, putting words in their mouth, etc, to justify the fact that you simply don’t vibe with them when the truth is that you will not get along with everybody you meet in life and it’s extremely possible to be civil to someone you don’t like. you don’t have to be friends with everybody its fine. it’s certainly nicer than falsely accusing them of some heinous shit rather than admit that you’re not some Disney princess who’s never had an unfairly mean thought in her life and loves everybody and sings with little birdies and is never bitchy or irritable. sometimes you get annoyed for stupid reasons and understanding that your personal feelings about a person aren’t necessarily related to their morals or worthiness as a human being is the first step to being a civil adult.

Carefully reading all this discourse about bananas and agriculture under the context of global capitalism, and I can't write anything about it because the shortest take I have in mind could be submitted as a thesis paper

elbiotipo

Like I always say, "where the food comes from" is the most important question you can ever ask, and it has multiple answers, including many that allow for plentiful and diverse food, but if the answer is "from exploited third world workers and agroecosystems to satisfy inmediate 24/7 consumerism in the first world" then that's the wrong answer and it should be changed by any means necessary

But this is not a new thing either, "where the food comes from" has literally defined all human relationships through history and now the relationships between entire societies in a global scale. Eduardo Galeano wrote about the United Fruit Company, which was almost a century old when he published Las Venas Abiertas, and United Fruit was only perpetuating the same explotaitive system of enviromental imperialism that the Europeans enforced on the Americas all the way back when they introduced their crops and forced the natives and then slaves to plant them.

The solution is, and I don't think anyone will be surprised, the construction of a socialist society, but the production of food alone is perhaps, at least to me, the most important and complex question. But it's not like we're flying blind here. We've seen actual socialist states approaching it with sucesses and failures,and indeed, some are very big successes (suggested reading; agroecology in Cuba and agrosystems in China). They are worth studying and emulating.

But it's not a theoretical issue. People can endure many things, but when food production fails, people die, society collapses, and the enviroment is damaged irreversibly. You can't make sweeping statements about such a problem that has been with us since the beginning of civilization. Producing good food, in abundance, available for all, and in a way that is balanced with the enviroment is not only the greatest question of our times, is the greatest question of ANY time, and the base of a good society.

Asking where the food comes from is literally the foundations of the historical materialist method.

honest.. it needs to be better known that you can get phalloplasty without a vaginectomy (= keeping the vagina), you can get phalloplasty with or without 'burying' your t-dick (aka its either in the phallus or remains outside of it/accessible), you can get phalloplasty with or without creating testicles, you can get phalloplasty with or without urethral lengthening, and there are multiple options for graft sites outside of arm or thigh grafts.

i knew pretty much none of this before i happened upon the blog of someone who had phalloplasty without vaginectomy. this is all stuff a surgeon would explain to you - but you may never consult a surgeon if you, like i did, think the only option available for phalloplasty is forearm graft phalloplasty with testicles, vaginectomy, clitoral burial and urethral lengthening, and that doesnt work for you.

phalloplasty in general is misrepresented terribly all over the place and many, many people say "i dont want bottom surgery because phalloplasty cant give me (x) result" and the one thing holding them back will be something thats entirely possible. meanwhile the main thing you hear about phalloplasty in the community is "the technology isnt there yet" "it doesnt look good/natural" "its not functional" etc etc, and while that may be true for many people, i suspect the lack of information about what a post-op phallus can actually look, feel and function like and the options you have regarding the surgery play a big role in the really bad reputation it gets and makes a lot of people completely give up on a surgery theyd really want because theyve been fed outdated and incomplete ideas about it.

If you know your partner doesn’t really want to have sex with you, don’t let them feel like they have to do it anyway.

If someone feels pressured by social norms into sexual activities and you go along with it, you may not have directly pressured them but you’re still having sex with someone who doesn’t actually want to have it.

Find out how your partners actually feel about the sex you’re interested in having with them. And if they don’t seem like they’re actually interested in it, you need to be the one to say no. Maybe it’ll spark a conversation where they explain you misread their feelings, but if you care at all about your partner and about not being an abuser, you need to err on the side of NOT having sex with a potentially unwilling partner… and NOT letting them feel bad about it either!

Reassure your partner that sex is never mandatory under any circumstance! Let them know you’d rather never have sex with them again than have sex they don’t actually want to have! Don’t let them apologise and feel guilty - comfort and reassure them that there’s nothing to be sorry about and that you’re glad when they tell you honestly what they want and don’t want!

If having sex with your partner is an important part of a relationship for you, you may not be a good fit with someone who isn’t genuinely interested in sex with you. It can suck to face that, but it’s not worse than having sex with an unwilling partner who only goes along with it because they don’t feel like they’re allowed to say no.

We live in a culture that makes people feel like they have to have sex in some situations, but there’s no situation that makes it okay to have sex with someone you know doesn’t actually want to have it. Even if you’ve been married for a long time! If they aren’t really interested and their willingness is due to pressure, you having sex with them anyway is a violation.

End rape culture. No sex without meaningful informed & active consent!

Programming Note: USians, urge your Senators to vote no on KOSA!

Hello, friends! Bad Advisor here.

If you're a Bad Advice reader, I suspect you agree it's really important that young folks, including and especially LGBTQIA+ teens, deserve safe and affirming places to gather online. The mis-named "Kids Online Safety Act," or KOSA, impedes rather than ensures this!

Contact your Senators today and let them know you oppose KOSA and they should, too!

(h/t to the fab Captain Awkward for putting this on the Bad Advisor's radar today!)

Here, have a photo of the Bad Advisor's goober pets as a little treat.

I think it is an understandable but fraught tactic to try to show to the liberal the position they are occupying by using historical examples which are associated with widely understood outrage or like, which are now understood to have "been bad." I'm going to use the internment of japanese americans because I'm japanese american and I think it's like, my lane to do so. you can absolutely be like "liberals who agree with this lesser-evilism would have absolutely been passive towards japanese internment" and I completely agree but the thing is that they WERE it's WHY IT HAPPENED. if america had been burned to the ground at the time we would never have gotten here in the first place. the liberal position is based on understanding historical atrocity through the clarity of hindsight - they can see that Japanese Internment was Bad, but if you confront them with any of the countless ongoing atrocities that American Empire is committing then, well, we don't know all the facts, it's up for debate, they're not sure if that's really whats happening, etc etc etc, quibbling ineffectually into a position where they are allowed to passively sit by until the present wooshes past them into history and they are able to say "Wow, that was a horrible thing we did. Why didn't anyone stop them?" despite having been there and stared down the bodies themselves.

Strippers on strike: Why dancers at one bar in America's strip club capital won't go back to work
In America's strip club capital, dancers from one bar have been on strike for nearly four months. Here's what the Portland strippers say wil
Fox News

Trouble is brewing in America's strip club capital, where dancers from one bar have been on strike for nearly four months as they attempt to become the second unionized strip club in the country.

Most of the 33 strippers employed by Portland's Magic Tavern launched their strike on April 4, citing "dangerous working conditions," Willamette Week reported.

"We’re fighting for basic safety and respect in the workplace, just like any other industry expects," Nyx, one of the dancers on strike, told the outlet.

The dancers say a slew of safety concerns spurred the strike, ranging from a lack of security cameras, an unstable pole, unmarked and uneven stage flooring, the scent of gas and more. They accuse management of retaliating against dancers who complained, and naming an official club group chat "Anus Tarts."
