Hey y'all — could really use some help. Finances are more than tight. Electric is heading for a shut off.
More importantly, the cat and dog are going to run out of food before next payday.
I know we're all struggling, but please, anything helps.

Missed some of my daily posts. Last week was rough. Really sinking in how left out I've been after doing the minimal work to implement an accessible interface to this thing. Really fucked with me.
As a result I fell behind on work and am now paying for it by not having rent money.

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.”
No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post.
Compliance ≠ usability.

It's not inspiring that blind girl had to make her own accessibility tools while y'all were just over here having community and doing nothing about it.
