It just occurred to me that a lot of people might not know this...
Some easy ways to make your dash more accessible to those who have tags filtered for accessibility:
If the post you are reblogging has pictures in it that do not have a Image Description, please tag the post as "No ID" or "Undescribed"
Better yet, please consider making your own image description if you can !
[ Image Descriptions will usually be formatted like this directly underneath the image they are describing, or at the top of your reblog chain it you're describing an image in a reblog chain. Most people use the indented text to seperate it from the body text of a post, and start the description with "ID:" and end it with "End ID".
Image Descriptions are accessibility features for those who are blind or low vision and use screenreaders to browse the internet, and if you want even more reason to be accessible, it also helps with media preservation if the original image gets removed or corrupted!
Alt text can also be attached directly to an image if you are the one posting it, though again, Tumblr is notorious for breaking this feature and not everyone can access the alt text option]
If a post contains text in bold format, tag it as "Bold Text"
If a post contains text in italics, tag it as "italicized text"
If a post contains plain text in different colors, tag it as "colored text" -- if it has red text, please tag it as both "colored text" and "red text".
If a post contains a word in all caps, especially sentences in all caps, please tag it as "Capslock" or "all caps"
(for the above four text alterations, they can sometimes but not always mess up screen readers; depending on the software used, text effects can cause glitches, and words in all caps can be taken by some screenreaders as being very long acronyms, so it can cause caps locked words to be read out loud letter by letter instead of as a single word
Colored text can also cause eyestrain, and red text in particular can be a trigger for anxiety and panic.)
If the post you are reblogging contains an inside joke about something existing that is not actually a real thing (such as: Goncharov, the 'lost' Faction Paradox novel 'Wallowing in Pessimism' Mire', The Ice Wars of Europa, and similar memes/inside jokes, please tag them as "Unreality".
Similarly, if you are reblogging posts with the meme of "the fbi agent watching me through my computer" or the "its me boy the ps4 I'm in your head", and variations thereupon, please tag them as both "Unreality" and "paranoia inducing"
(if anyone knows of a more widely used equivalent to that tag, please let me know!)
If the post you are reblogging contains insects, spiders, snakes, sharks, and other animals that commonly have associated phobias, please tag them with the animal in question, and *not* the phobia itself to avoid filling those community tags with examples of the phobia.
If the post you are reblogging contains videos or gifs with flashing lights, please tag them as "Flashing" and *not* as "photosensitivity" to avoid filling that community tag with seizure or migraine -inducing images.
If the post you are reblogging contains images with blood, please tag them with "blood"
If the post contains graphic violence and injuries, please tag it as "gore"
If the post contains horror, please tag it as "horror".
If a post contains art that involves eye injuries or the threat of eye injuries, please tag it as "eye horror"
If the post contains art/manipulated images of unnatural bodies in unnatural shapes , contortions, with too many eyes/mouths/hands etc, please tag it as "body horror"
If a post contains real human beings with scars or limb differences, *please do not tag it as body horror!* Instead you can tag it as "scars", "burn scars", "limb differences" , etc as required.
Real disabled human beings should not be reduced to being dehumanized objects of horror!
If a post contains a video or audio recording that is very loud, or becomes very loud, please tag it as "volume warning".
Similarly to the "no id" tag for undescribed images, if a video does not have a plain text transcript or subtitles, please tag it as "no id", and "no transcript" or "no subtitles".
If a post contains material such as nudity or suggestive images that you wouldn't want your boss, a coworker, or customer seeing to get you in trouble at work, please tag it as "NSFW" and or "NSFT"
using these tags is *not* a 'moral condemnation' of any kind and is merely a way to keep people from losing their jobs or getting penalized because they were scrolling tumblr in the break room and someone glanced over to see porn someone's dashboard!
If a post contains discussion of suicide, please tag it as "suicide"
If a post contains discussion or images of self harm, tag it as "self harm"
If a post contains discussion of rape or sexual assault, please tag it as "rape" and "sexual assault"
If a post contains discussion of pedophilia, please tag it as "pedophilia" and "CSA" / "Child sexual abuse". If the post contains discussion of grooming, please tag it as the above and "grooming".
There's probably some more out there that I'm not thinking of off the top of my head, but if you know of other tags that can help filter posts to be more accessible, please let me know!
Tagging these things means that people who have these tags blacklisted will be safer scrolling their dash, and makes it easier and safer for everyone to enjoy Tumblr :)
All of the above tags in question should be tagged as just the words within the quotes -- never censor a trigger tag, or put "tw" or "cw" in front or behind it, as this makes it nearly impossible for someone to filter every possible permutation of the censored tag. Censoring a tag does more harm than good as it means people who have that tag filtered are getting exposed to that content now!
