    We just launched our Me2B Safe Specification to help put safety and respect back into tech design.

    Human Factors was about designing interfaces and environments around human cognitive capabilities and limitations to make things safer. Too much of design today is quite the opposite of this, finding ways to manipulate our limitations to capture more attention and money.

    A while ago, I was asked to give assistance tracking down the current ownership of an engine called ETI-Eloquence by , who, like a lot of blind users, depends heavily on screenreading software and the text-to-speech engines therein. ETI-Eloquence is very old.

    Awesome to see that is supporting business resilience during National Virtual Summit, by helping small businesses learn accessible design. When we design for everyone, we all benefit.

    If you struggle to remember, that’s ok! It’s a habit to get into. I recommend who will message you when you forget! Remember you can always alt text in a reply! Or add more detail after.

    If you’re confused or worried about whether alt text has worked (you can’t always see the alt symbol on your image) You can tag (People often forget to hit the “done” button which means it doesn’t get saved!)

    READ THIS! And the links in the thread. Very useful info about how we all can make our images shared in social media more accessible to all.

    I’m just a blind girl, standing in front of tech twitter, asking you to describe images. That’s it. No demands, nothing unreasonable, just a request to tell us blind folks what is in your pictures so we can enjoy them too. (I’ll even show you how to do it 👇)

    I officially have in my possession the first printed copy of my book, Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally! The book is set to release on September 7, but it’s available now for pre-order:

    Me, a white woman with glasses and brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, in a black dress with a blue and pink floral pattern. I’m sitting in my power wheelchair and my left arm is in a sling. I have a huge smile on my face because the photo was taken just after I opened the package containing my book, which I am holding up excitedly.
