No pictures tonight because Shabbat will arrive just after lighting the Chanukiah, but I wanted to drop in to wish everyone who observes a Shabbat Shalom, a Chodesh Tov, and a joyous and peaceful sixth night of Chanukah. For everyone else, I hope you have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend. #Chanukah #StayVisible #Mazeldon #ShabbatShalom

Agreed reading character by character is better than silent, but it's still a problem for people whose synth just starts babbling unintelligible things at them. We have enough of that with the special character art, so I figured I'd not add to it.

Just a quick note to explain why I'm transliterating Hebrew instead of just typing it: Eloquence, which is a speech synthesizer used by a lot of blind people who use screen readers, really freaks out with Hebrew, to the point where it just announces characters. So it's a lot easier for screen reader users to read if I just transliterate it. #Chanukah #Mazeldon #Accessibility #A11Y

Sometimes you don't have a choice, because either there's not an actual feed for said podcasts, or the feed isn't reliably updated.

Hey blind hive mind: What's good in accessible microwaves? My husband doesn't have an Amazon account and really doesn't want one, so an Alexa-powered one would be a lower priority. Thanks in advance.

One of these days I'm going to remember to check spelling for my alt text. I'd think about it more if I took more pictures.
