#gaad

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). You can read more about it here (link) and even see events going on.

Accessibility is crucial, and there's a lot of different types of accessibility.

In this post, I want to talk about two types: Color Contrast and Image Descriptions.

Color Contrast

If you make any kind of visual content where you have text on a background (like an infographic or flyer), please check the color contrast here (link). This will tell you whether the contrast passes WCAG guidelines (more about that here: link). WCAG is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and it's designed to make sure web content is accessible.

Color contrast is one small part of that, and their guidelines include checking for things like colorblindness. If you're not sure what color you're using, you can check out this color picker (link) and/or use an extension/add-on (like this: link) to select a color from a web page.

Image Descriptions

Image Descriptions are just what they sound like: a description of an image. There are lots of reasons why image descriptions are helpful and lots of different types of people who benefit from them.

If you're a visual content creator, please start describing your images. You're the person who knows best what you created, and you're the one who created it.

If you see someone else's image and it doesn't have a description, please check the reblogs with comments and see if someone has already described it. If they have, please reblog that version.

If there's not a description, please take the time to write one if you have spoons. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Anything is better than nothing. There's lots of guides out there, but my fav is this one from @keplercryptids (link).

We Can All Contribute

Here’s the link to the Global Accessibility Awareness Day website: https://accessibility.day/. There’s a bunch of events being held, virtually and in person, as well as tools and chances to explore accessibility features across different technologies.

I have a bunch of the hints/ tips/ guides on my blog: https://911described.tumblr.com/resources

Probably the most important of those is this spreadsheet, which has a bunch of descriptions in it

I’ll also be reblogging some more posts about how to improve accessibility on tumblr fandom posts, tagging them as “911 description resources”, in case people want to find it at a later date.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, or GAAD, a day dedicated to everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than one billion people with disabilities/impairments.

One of the main tools for digital accessibility is assistive technology. For a brief overview of what assistive technology is, check out Understanding Assistive Technology: Simply Said. 

Our Technology for Equal Access goes into more detail and how people use assistive technology to help with sensory, mobility, and learning disabilities. (I really, really highly recommend this one, it has a lot of different first-hand accounts.)

हैलो दोस्तो, मेरा नाम पिंटो है, मैं मुंबई का रहने वाला हूँ। यह कहानी पर मेरी पहली कहानी है। मेरी तरफ से आप सभी के लंड और चूत को मेरा नमस्कार। यह कहानी लड़कियों और भाभी की चूत में पानी लाएगी और मर्दो का लंड खड़ा हो जाएगा। Sara Pani Padosan Ki Gaad Mein Chhod diya.
