Only a handful of warm days left in Toronto, I suspect! Took advantage of the nice weather today to check out @cnibfoundation.bsky.social's Fragrant Garden. Grateful to the CNIB for their help with family in recent years. That & my own visual issues have made me more aware of visual accessiblity.

July is Disability Pride Month, and we're celebrating the incredible contributions, voices, and experiences of disabled LGBT+ people.

We will be marking this month by sharing content that uplifts and educates, starting with the story behind the Disability Pride Flag and the meaning of its colours.

🌈 Pride is about visibility, celebration, and creating space for everyone to thrive.

This year, we’re excited to partner with Pride at Work Canada to help build safer, more equitable workplaces across the country.

We’re here on Bluesky to continue to advocate for a Canada where every person who is blind, Deafblind, or partially sighted has the right to communicate and live independently. #DisabilityJustice #CNIB #DeafblindAwareness 🌐 www.cnib.ca/en/about-us

People's assumptions about us are often our biggest barrier to independence and participation.

That we can't hold down a job, for example, or have a family. We need everyone to see the person, not the sight loss.

Vision loss is often preventable — but only if caught early. Eye exams can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure & more. Don’t wait. Make eye care a lifelong habit. 🔗 Learn more: www.cnib.ca/en/resources...

Did you know that you can set up a reminder to add alt text on BlueSky?

Just go to Settings, then Accessibility and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on - it’s a handy way to make sure you never forget, and it helps blind and partially sighted people to enjoy your posts!
