BlindSighted (twitch.tv/blind_sighted)

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.

Kat and JJ are live!
Describe & Discuss: Let's chat about the events in L.A. and the chaos of protests while blind — from the point of view of a blind protester and her sighted guide.

I'm posting about it, with helpful info, *every day* until the accessibility experience for people like me improves.
There's been an open github issue for over a year and a half. It's a simple change. No excuses. Hope this helps.

These aren't "nice-to-haves" — they're the missing pieces.

What would help?
– Keyboard shortcuts (j/k) to jump between posts
– Landmarks or headings for screen reader nav
– Restore focus or scroll position after interaction
Reddit had it. Twitter *STILL* has it. This is basic UX for screen reader users.
Let’s make Bluesky usable, not just compliant. #A11y

Yes, Bluesky has alt text. But alt text isn’t the full picture (pun intended). It’s meaningless if I can’t even reach the post.
Adding alt text to an inaccessible site is like advertising hearing aids on the radio — you’re leaving out a majority of the people who need it the most.
#Accessibility

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.
Day 23 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

Bills stacked up fast; I'm $200 short for the rent check — which was already sent off and just hasn't cleared yet.
So I desperately need help getting that last $200 ASAP.
Please help —

Day 19 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

So much asking for a simple and reasonable accommodation from @support.bsky.team
So little acknowledgement or improvement.
How is Elon's twitter still lightyears ahead... in 2025?

Then we see how many games in the series we can make accessible... everything but the most recent two seems achievable.

Fun stream tonight. Did a little demo of #FiveNightsAtFreddys with #Accessibility modded in!
Just a proof of concept for now — the real work is ahead!

Five Nights At Freddy's should have always been accessible!
— let's fix that.

Blind_Sighted - Twitch The world is getting scarier — and more accessible! Announcing new accessibility mod in the works — then another Resident Evil stream!

Y'all — the world is getting scarier.
And also more accessible!
New #Accessibility #mod project in the works here at Blind Sighted.

Come join us over on #twitch for the announcement and demo — folowed by more #ResidentEvil — #blind chick style.
