I'm mostly here to reblog everything I love: SCA, writing, fiber arts, and various fandoms. I also do some D&D writing with redwingedwhump and whumphs, so feel free to ask me things!

Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.

The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.

A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like

And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like

The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just

The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.

#this post has 10k notes to me

When you left this tag three days ago, I thought "that's so sweet, but no. No way this concept is even close to that popular."

This is it. This is my job. This is what I do for a living. I make those faces and then I tell my uncaring monitor exactly what is wrong with this website and what the site owner needs to do to fix it with all the fucks I can’t put in official work documents sprinkled liberally throughout.

And now I will be picturing Gordon Ramsey when I do it.

the year was Two Thousand and twenty-four. I took a puff of my Electronic-Cigarette, inhaling the vapours. my mobile terminal buzzed in my pocket, a flat slab of microchips and glossy touchscreen. I ignored it....... probably another Electronic-Mail

that "pear shaped" is an idiom meaning "something has gone wrong" is a scathing indictment of the british people, and their lack of proper respect and appreciation for a "thick bitch"

As someone who’s been learning to throw pots on a wheel lately, I read that and thought, ‘Ha! You’d call a cockup pear-shaped, too, if you’d ever had a pot get a torque twist and go from lovely cylinder to fat-bottomed mess!’ And then I realised that was too perfect to be a coincidence and looked it up and that is 100% the probable origin of that phrase.

Going back to my roots and making things out of cardboard and hot glue. FRANKIE IN THE WHEELCHAIR 🧑‍🦽⚡️‼️

Unfortunately the chair is not super accurate to real ones, it functions more as a stand than anything, but the wheels do turn!

so cool!

it looks good though! I like how you colored it! Did you make it with the Dollightful tutorial?

As a wheelchair using doll collector, this delights me muchly.

Always gonna love the real distinct, utterly batshit vibe of the illustrations that ecologists make when trying to display as many unique animals from a given ecosystem in one frame as they possibly can

Like girl take me to the colourful rockpool where the population density is absolutely irresponsible

Reblog if you want to hang out there later

oouggh I love the ones they did for the BMNH’s ecology exhibit… should post them later

Hey crocheters of Tumblr!

I want to crochet a length of I guess it would be best described as netting? Like for a mesh bag, but flat. Holes 1-3", I'm not super picky unless one size is faster than another to make.

Anyone got any resources or suggestions on where to look?

Thanks!

grabbed this very quickly off the internet but any variety of this would work? you can experiment w spacings and number of chains for different results!

Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for and failing to find in any format I could understand.

Thank you!

Eldest daughter is trying to learn to spin yarn on a drop spindle. Can smaller children spin yarn? She really really wants to be involved with crafts. She's not quite there for knitting or crochet and is a little reckless with embroidery materials. She's 3. A very clever 3.

sure, i'd give her some fiber with a longer staple length, something with a little more tooth to it, not merino as it tends to be slippery. corriedale or cheviot or romney, or whatever similar stuff you have. make sure the spindle is sturdy and can survive being dropped and banged around and possibly being used as a sword. little kids in places like Peru that still have a strong tradition of handspinning learn to spin young, and even if she picks it up and puts it down again and again you might be surprised at how well it sticks long term
