I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
What's here today:
• A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
• A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
• Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
This is how a legacy gets started — together.
Explore and submit: https://blind.productions
You must be 18 or older to join.

Curious what others have found here. I've heard Gumroad is not accessible, but I have not had any trouble with it myself.
I want to sell my book. If not Gumroad, what platforms have you found accessible and easy to maintain?
What I'm after: I upload a book, people can pre-order it, and as I update it readers get an email when new chapters come out.
Recommendations welcome.

You need to be able to trust a screen reader the way you trust your eyes.
A lot of people on Android right now are shipping software that makes that impossible, and calling it accessibility.

completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those. keyoxide: aspe:keyoxide.org:PFAQDLXSBNO7MZRNPUMWWKQ7TQ

This was invented for #AI. However, I'm finding it really nice for screen readers:
RTK rewrites output from chatty terminal commands that produce a lot of output, often in complex tables, in order to make the output 80 to 90 percent shorter. Just put rtk in front of the command you want to compress. So "rtk git status" instead of "git status". And you can be sure the compacted output is correct because it's just using regular expressions and deterministic rules under the hood to rewrite output from the tools it knows about. If it doesn't know about a particular command, it just passes the output on unchanged.
github.com/rtk-ai/rtk
Now I've got to figure out how to wire this up in #bash so it'll just happen without me typing rtk all the time.

Hör/Schau dir das Video an dann hörst du wie viel akkustische Infos man bekommt bei nur einem einzigen Tweet.
Das Video hab ich damals auf Twitter gemacht auch zur Aufklärung.
Ich sage nicht umsonst das ich alles höre was ihr seht.
Hinweis: ihr hört das in Normalgeschwindigkeit damit ihr das auch verstehen könnt. Ich höre das in 3x Geschwindigkeit

I am Florian, florian is Dutch and Florian is he/him. I tend to talk about a myriad of different things, including #accessibility, #linguistics, #infoSec, #music, #programming and #gaming. Also #books, loads of books. Twitch streamer, LGBTQIA+-friendly and, oh right, fully #blind, as well. Anything more would be telling.

Welp ... I was just informed through a Slack DM that I will no longer be working at the place I'm working at in two weeks' time. That is, evidently, how we handle that now. Not entirely unexpected as the writing on the wall was evident, but still not loving that approach for reasons I haven't quite worked out yet.
If anyone needs help with their #accessibility from someone with both native #screenReader experience and a coding background, keep me in mind I guess :) #fediHired #layoffs
