I have seen a lot of posts on here talking about individual extensions for chrome to help people, but I haven’t seen a place where they’re compiled together. So here you are! font/text

no caps - Makes everything lower case

Open Dyslexic: changes the font to Open Dyslexic and makes it larger. Personal favourite.

Dyslexie: changes the font to dyslexie and allows change to font size and colour (blue). Can be turned off. (Doesn’t seem to work on facebook)

Font Changer: Allows you to change the font on specific website or on everything using a Google Font. I believe you can also upload your own, if there’s a specific font you need.

BeeLine Reader: Uses a gradient so your eye follows along one line to the next

overlays/colour change

Color Overlay - Irlen Filter for Chromebook: Puts a coloured overlay over the screen. can choose colour and opacity. 

Sunglasses: Tints the screen grey to reduce contrast

Desaturate: Removes all colour and makes everything a greyscale

High Contrast: Change contrast or invert colour scheme

Deluminate: Similar to High Contrast, but tries to keep photos in tact

G.lux: Makes the colour of the display change depending on the time of day (also cuts down on blue light so it’s easier to fall asleep)

reduce visual distraction

Readability: Can change things such as margins, colours, etc… as well as reduce visual business

Ad Block Plus: blocks ads. What more needs to be said?

FlashControl: Stops flash animations running by themselves

Hide GIFS: Allows you to keep GIFS from displaying

Text Mode: Loads pages in black/white, covers images, with text only.

audio

SpeakIt!: Reads small section of highlighted text aloud

Chrome Speak: Reads small section of highlighted text aloud

So, I’m thinking about making a shirt…

You can find the shirt here:

Seriously. Because I have an idea for one, and I want to see whether I can make it work. I don’t know if I can find an artist who’d be interested in collaborating on it, but if I can, I have some ideas on how to fund it. I just want to see enough people would be interested in it.

- only if there are no disabilities getting ‘fixed’ so that to all intents and purposes the person now functions exactly like an abled person (John only has one leg, but we gave him a robo-leg that functions exactly like a regular leg so now he can do everything his friends can and it’s hardly ever even mentioned!)

- no people ‘compensating’ for their disabilities with magical abilities which essentially negate their difficulties (Sally is deaf, but she can psychically sense all the sound around her so she doesn’t actually miss anything or need to lip-read or sign or do anything actual deaf people do!)

- some acknowledgement that for at least some disabilities, you ARE going to be more at risk in a dangerous situation. Doesn’t mean everyone has to insta-die, obviously, but I’d feel weird about something that didn’t even acknowledge that, for example, mobility problems are going to make it harder to run away from zombies; I’d like to read about how people deal with that and what strategies they use to keep themselves safe, rather than something which just ignores it.

anyway, all of that probably sounds really negative but I don’t mean to because actually that comic sounds awesome! and it’s mostly a personal preference kind of deal, because I know a lot of people would be happy to see disabled characters kicking ass and taking names (or just being represented at all), it’s just that speaking solely for myself I’m a bit tired of the whole thing where disabled characters aren’t actually really affected by their disability; it makes it much harder for me to relate to them, because my own disability is a pain in the fucking butt. (also, I realise I’ve focused mostly on physical disabilities in this post; I am aware there are other kinds)

Maybe we can try to sexualize our awarenesses to get more people to notice them? I don’t know. What do you guys think?

Save the Autoimmune Systems! Oh my gosh; so sexy! Save the Spinal Cords! Much hot. Very sexy. Wow.

Etc.

Hmm…it could work.
