Die ersten zwei Tage im Urlaub? Regen, Regen, Regen. 
Aber hey, wofür gibt es heiße Schaumbäder und gute Freunde? 
Manchmal ist gute Pflege eben Teamwork und ein bisschen Improvisation.

#FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection, a convenient way to install applications. Some ports allow users to configure options before building and installing. By default, this configuration is done through an interactive menu in the terminal.
To improve readability and #Accessibility especially for users with low vision or color blindness, it's important to offer simple and customizable color options. These features have recently been implemented and documented in the preview version of the FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook:
https://freebsd-accessibility-9d667f.gitlab.io/en/books/accessibility/colors/index.html#colors-ports
The next step is to extend these features to all terminal-based graphical components.
I'd love to hear from you:
Do you use any accessibility features in the terminal?
Which color-related assistive technologies make the biggest difference in your daily workflow?
Together, we can make FreeBSD more accessible for everyone. #ThePowerForEveryone #FreeBSD #Accessibility #OpenSource #LowVision #ColorBlindness #AssistiveTechnology #AccessibilityMatters

Accessibility matters for everyone.
Whether permanent or temporary, disability can affect us all at some point in our lives. That’s why accessibility isn’t a bonus feature: it’s a necessity.
At Jami, we’re committed to making private communication truly inclusive. From screen reader support to keyboard navigation, here’s where we stand and where we’re going: https://jami.net/how-accessible-is-jami/

@deborahh @bookstodon Thanks for the great post! I'm loving the excerpt from 'Shroud' by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and I also appreciate the accessibility features you included, such as the ALT text and the dyslexia-friendly font (which I think might be OpenDyslexic). It's really important to make sure that all readers can enjoy your content, and you're doing a great job of that. Keep up the good work! #scifi #aliens #whatToRead #bookstodon #accessibility #accessibilitymatters

Despite my vision being quite good, I lost out on being able to enjoy a meme because of a lack of alt-text. I could clearly see everything, but the logo in the meme was unfamiliar to me. Had alt-text been added to the picture, there is a good chance I could have found my answer there and enjoyed the meme like everyone else.
Alt-text is not just for the blind.
Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

www.linkedin.comJapan in 30 Contradictions: My Wheelchair‑User’s Field NotesI spent five spring weeks rolling from Seoul‑bound Kansai Airport through neon Osaka, temple‑speckled Kyoto and hyper‑dense Tokyo. Below is my long‑form unpacking of what startled me, delighted me, or left me scratching my head.
Disability rights are under attack in 17 states!
There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:
Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class). Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements). Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).
These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.
If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.
More details here: https://dredf.org/protect-504/
Please share this! More people need to know.

Introduction Post
Hi everyone! 
I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:
Who I Am
- Conservative #Christian woman and #Aroace
- Totally #blind and #ActuallyAutistic, living with multiple #chronicIllnesses
- Advocate for #DisabilityRights, passionate about creating a more inclusive world
I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.
Meet Squeaker!
I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. 
He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!
What I’m Studying
I'm currently learning:
- Digital Accessibility through the BIT Accessibility Analyst Course
- Literary Braille Proofreading via the NLS
- Programming on platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy
My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.
What I Do
I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:
- Facebook: Multiple Disabilities Peer to Peer Support Group
- Discord/Mailing List: MultAbilities
- Clubhouse: People with Multiple Disabilities
Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals. If you're interested in joining or collaborating, feel free to reach out or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech, where you'll find links to all the groups!
My Interests
When I’m not advocating or studying, you can find me:
- Exploring #technology and experimenting with self-hosting on my Raspberry Pi
- Reading #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Mystery, and some nonfiction
- Playing #AccessibleGaming titles like incremental games, puzzles, RPGs, roguelikes, and MUDs
- Enjoying delicious food—especially #chocolate, #seafood, #milk, and #cheese
I also love swimming 
when my health allows it.
My Goals
One day, I hope to found a nonprofit organization to support multiply disabled individuals. The nonprofit would:
- Provide peer support groups
- Help fund assistive technology
- Advocate for education and employment opportunities
- Collaborate with disability-focused organizations to improve accessibility
For now, I'm focused on running my support groups and building connections that could help make this dream a reality. If you have ideas or resources—or just want to chat—let me know! 
Let’s Connect!
I’m always happy to chat about:
- Accessibility in #tech or tech in general
- Disability advocacy
- Programming (#HTML, #JavaScript)
- Braille
- Books
- Or just life in general!
Feel free to follow me here or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech.

Someone plays music in the background during a meeting. They ask if it's bothering people. Neurotypical folks on the call quickly speak up and say it's fine.
The autistic person on the call (me):
1. has extreme difficulty participating in or even following the meeting due to the inability to separate foreground from background noise
2. experiences distress from sensory overload
3. spends the whole meeting stressing over how to bring it up in a side channel without taking the wrong tone and offending the person due to social communication difficulties
4. questions whether it should even be brought up, or if they're just being "too sensitive" due to a lifetime of conditioning to treat their own needs as invalid just because they're aren't "typical"
Meanwhile, no one on the call even realizes something is wrong or that the autistic person just got screwed over, completely by accident.

) Wow, the "Filter images without alt-text" setting makes it *really* quick and easy to decide if I'm not going to follow someone.
Tap profile, tap media, see this, move on.
Manchmal sind es die alltäglichen Dinge, die zu großen Herausforderungen werden. Kürzlich brauchte ich eine neue Brille, wofür eine Sehschärfenmessung notwendig ist. Früher war das problemlos möglich: Mit einer Messbrille, bei der die Gläser ausgetauscht werden, konnte ich die Untersuchung direkt im Rollstuhl machen. Doch diese Methode wird immer seltener, verdrängt durch moderne Geräte wie Autorefraktometer. Diese sind zwar technisch fortschrittlich, erfordern aber eine bestimmte Sitzposition, die ich als Rollstuhlfahrer nicht einnehmen kann.
Ich habe monatelang recherchiert, Ärzte und Optiker abtelefoniert – ohne Erfolg. Selbst ein Termin, den ich über den Service meiner Krankenkasse in einer angeblich barrierefreien Praxis vereinbart hatte, brachte keine Lösung. Vor Ort stellte sich heraus, dass zwar die Räumlichkeiten barrierefrei waren, die Untersuchung aber nicht, da das moderne Gerät meine Bedürfnisse nicht berücksichtigte.
Schließlich fand ich einen Optiker in meiner Nachbarschaft, der flexibel genug war, die klassische Messbrille zu nutzen. Doch auch das war nur durch Improvisation möglich: Meine Sitzschale musste auf einen Stuhl umgestellt werden, da die Anzeigetafel in einer festen Position montiert ist. Eine Lösung, die für mich persönlich funktionierte, aber weit entfernt von einer zugänglichen Standardlösung ist.
Diese Erfahrung zeigt, wie technologische Innovation bestehende barrierefreie Methoden verdrängen kann, ohne neue Alternativen zu schaffen. Barrierefreiheit darf kein nachträglicher Gedanke sein – sie muss von Anfang an mitgedacht werden, damit alle von Fortschritten profitieren können.
Accessibility tip: As a blind person, I love emojis like anyone else, but too many can make screen readers take forever to get to the text. Limiting to 1-2 emojis is super helpful and thoughtful. Thanks for considering! #AccessibilityMatters
My girlfriend bought me a new dress last night and I went a little off the rails trying to describe it in the alt-text
