I support this motion 10000% ^^
Aw, aw this was so sweet. I thought it was going to be another jump scare but instead it was just lovely.
more wholesome vines in 2016 please
these are colorblind glasses. im about to take a walk around the neighborhood and experience colors like normal people. wish me luck, updates to come.
the trees. holy shit the trees. theyre different colors. like, a million different colors
grass….. it looks so soft… so green…
after laying in the grass for about an hour staring at the autumn leaves and laughing at how blue the sky is, i have some insight to share:
why the fuck do you people buy red cars like i had no idea how bright and obnoxious they looked
there are BERRIES on the trees. like bright red. id never noticed them because they blended in. a new problem has arisen now: how the fuck do you people keep yourselves from trying to eat them they’re so tempting looking
the fallen leaves are so beautiful and colorful and you all are heathens for stepping on them just to hear the crunchy sound they make
i’m so happy for you
I wish more people added image and video descriptions onto posts they made or reblogged.
I think the main reason nobody bothers to do it is because they think it’ll “look tacky,” but if you’re willing to overlook accommodations because they “look tacky,” then you should really have a conversation with yourself.
People don’t think I need image descriptions because I still reblog some and have some sight. But what they don’t know is how long it took me to figure out what that picture was. Ever wonder why I only ever like or reblog a small handful of your image or video posts when others you’ve posted seemed like something I would probably enjoy? Probably because the ones I DID like or reblog were either the only ones I could decipher relatively quickly, or because at that time, I was in a mood where I was willing to stare at a picture for ten minutes until I understood it.
Never assume I don’t still need it. It will always be helpful.
How much detail do you like in your descriptions? I know that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ answer, especially since it depends on context. But what’s your preference, generally?
Oh, thank you for asking! I’m really glad you’re interested.
So, generally, you just include anything that’s relevant, but leave out anything that’s not really. Like if you’re captioning a gif, it’s generally important to say who it is and what they are doing, but not really important to say like what’s in the background or what they are wearing unless it is connected to what they are doing in someway and makes the joke or something. Like, if part of what is funny about what a person is saying is something written on their shirt, then you would also include what is written on their shirt, but if it has nothing to do with the point of the image, you would leave it out.
Also, it’s important to note that images that are just text, like a screencap of a tweet or a quote, those are also important to caption. And for tweets and stuff, you’ll also want to include their name and handle if you can see it. Screen-readers only know that images are images and they have no idea what’s on them, so even if the image is of text, they can’t read that and will tell you only that it is an image.
Hope this is helpful! I’m always open to answer questions about other types of images, too, so don’t hesitate to ask.
So on my blog, I reblog a fair amount of *aesthetic* photos of stationery and whatnot. I like to make my image descriptions for those more… flowery, I guess? Mainly because the photos themselves are supposed to be artsy, so I feel like captions like “A brown notebook containing chemistry notes on a white table” is a little underwhelming. In this case, would doing something more along the lines of “a sable colored notebook of highlighted ionic equations, soaking in the afternoon light like it soaks up knowledge” be too flowery? I guess I never thought about it before I did it, and while I personally enjoy the flowery description, I don’t want to detract/distract too much.
That’s totally OK! As long as it still does include that information that says what it actually is. I’m sure some people will have preferences, but I don’t think there is a wrong way to do it. As long as the information is there one way or another, I think it’s perfectly OK to get flowery with it. It does enhance the vibe significantly, but for those who maybe don’t know how to make descriptions more flowery or don’t prefer to, leaving the more plane is acceptable as well.
How to Use the Word "Transgender" Correctly
“Transgender” is an ADJECTIVE that describes a person. It is NOT a noun. It is NOT a verb
Offensive/incorrect: -Alex is transgendered. -He is a transgender. -Transgenders deserve equality. -He is transgendering (that’s not even a word but I’ve heard cis people say it…yikes)
Correct: -Alex is transgender. -He is a trans person. -Transgender people deserve equality . -He is transitioning.
Other notes: -“Transgendered” is not a word. It’s offensive because it implies that being trans is something that was done to us, not something we are. Don’t say it, say “transgender.“ -Trans is short for transgender, it’s not plural for anything . -Don’t say trans* (this is a common mistake that even fairly educated people make). Just say trans. The asterisk is harmful and unnecessary (read more on that here) -Say “trans man” or “trans woman” not “transman” or “transwoman” (read more on that here)
These might seem like nit-picky things but they’re really, really important and by ignoring them, you’re actively supporting the oppression of trans people. The way people construct their language is enormously impactful and can further a culture of violence and discrimination or help change it. Using the wrong terminology is extremely dehumanizing.
If you’re abled and you know someone who is disabled, please be aware that we need abled people to say, “we can’t do that if X says they can’t do it,” or, “Of course you can go home if you’re not well enough,” or, “Stop badgering them, if they say no they mean no.”
The pressure on us to perform to abled standards, socially, romantically and professionally is STAGGERING.
Don’t speak for us, but if we say we can’t do something, stand with us. Don’t let other abled people try to strongarm us into doing something we have stated that we cannot do.

Okay, but for real, the best emails are the ones I get from Archive of Our Own that say “Comment on ________” I always flip the hell out when I see these
