#no icon or description

[anakinh]

i am begging new followers to give themselves an icon and a description. idk if you’ve heard but there are a lot of spambots lately. your funny anime url is the only thing keeping you from being reported and blocked

#me.txt #if you just followed me and you're seeing this YES this is directed at you. go on search and find the tag 'iconedit' #go wild #remember to credit #i had someone follow me with the url 'iamnotabot' #no icon or description #listen. this made me laugh but you are on THIN FUCKING ICE

the church in the coptic monastery of the virgin mary in bethlehem, palestine. this unique church is built inside of a cave tunnel which connects it to the nearby church of the nativity. the holy family is said to have passed through it during their stay in bethlehem. saint helena, who established churches across palestine during her time, is said to have established this one as well. the coptic archbishop of jerusalem purchased this and four nearby homes in the 1950s, establishing the monastery and re-establishing the church. today, the site is maintained by two nuns.

#palestine #coptic #interior #worship #christian #diasporic palestine #cave worship #my posts #found a kuwaiti coptic church with a flickr with a ton of pictures of palestinian coptic churches #so i may post some very soon... #according to what i read about this the nuns are renown for their icon paintings & crafts #but i couldn't find any sort of online description of/by them even in arabic #so i didnt mention it in the caption

Imagine, for a moment, that your internet just stopped loading images one day. Your dash might look pretty different (and less usable), but at least you can still make posts — whether about your internet situation, or about completely unrelated topics.

Then, imagine that one or more of your posts blew up, to the tune of hundreds if not thousands of notes. Imagine people started adding images to your posts.

Imagine your post circulating almost entirely in the form with four or five images attached, and with everyone in the notes laughing about those images — except you, who started the post in the first place, who can't even see those images because you're trapped in Tumblr's loading gradient hellscape.

You're excluded from any further conversations on your own post, because someone added a mystery image with the caption "don't leave this in the tags," but you have no idea which set of tags it is, and can't tell if it's one of the good takes from the tags or one of the horrible takes from the tags. You're excluded from the Tumblr users playing with JPEGs like dolls. You can try to guess the contents of the images based on people's reactions, but it's hard. And no one adding images even seems to notice the irony.

This is, of course, a real problem plaguing Tumblr users with regularly slow internet. And it's also a huge, insidious problem plaguing blind and low vision people who rely on either screen readers, or image descriptions in combination with enlarged text on their device.

People with disabilities around comprehending images, people who have images (or gifs) disabled due to photosensitivity, and many others are also affected.

If you add an image to a post without either alt text, an in-post image description, or even both for maximal inclusivity, you don't know if OP — or the person whose tags you're peer reviewing, or whose reply you're screenshotting — will actually be able to see it. From their perspective, you might just be shoving a mystery rectangle in their face, expecting them to be able to guess — or responding to them without them being able to know.

Imagine being on the receiving end of that expectation constantly. Imagine how isolating that must feel.

We need, collectively, to stop making assumptions that everyone we interact with online will be able to access, physically see, and mentally process images. The assumption that disabled people are vanishingly rare and statistically shouldn't really need to be considered is an assumption of structural and/or implicit ableism.

Write image descriptions. Write image descriptions for every image you post, if you're able — but if you have limited energy, or you're still learning, you should at least start trying your absolute best to describe images you add to other people's posts. If you're starting a conversation, even an online conversation, you should make your best effort to be accessible.

So: Write IDs, especially if they're as simple as just text, like screenshotted tags (link to guide). Write IDs even if you think the best ID you can write is too short, or too incomplete (link to post explaining why even "bad" IDs help).

Write IDs in general (link to a huge compilation of guides). Challenge ableist assumptions and inaccessibility.

#this is not a callout post or anything - i've actually reminded a few people in my notes about this recently #pointing out the disability flag in my icon - and they've all been very courteous #it's just that the site culture as a whole needs to change. urgently #accessibility #image descriptions

you don’t have to be a Zutara shipper to dislike Ka/taang

Most of my irl friends are not shippers and the word “Zutara” does not exist in their vocabulary, but they think Ka/taang is weird. Because a prepubescent boy with a teenage girl is weird. He’s a child. She’s a teenager. Anyone who stops and thinks about what they were like at twelve vs fourteen knows those were some long years.

I started getting the ick for Ka/taang in The Headband and it reached its apex in Nightmares and Daydreams. I didn’t even start liking Zutara until The Southern Raiders. I liked Katara with Haru but the creators sank that ship with a strategically placed moustache

I am a ZK shipper so things like parallels and symbolism and Katara’s development as an adult matter to me. But even without all that, I didn’t like Ka/taang. Because before my analytical brain jumped in, my lizard brain said “ick.”

#honestly Haru’s moustache was the most effective ship sink I’ve ever seen #Jetara had to be sunk by a boulder to the chest but all Harutara needed was a few pixels above his lip #RIP Harutara you would’ve been a malewife x girlboss icon #anti kataang #Zutara #harutara #I think we need to bring back the word “icky” because it conveys a sentiment that doesn’t have moral baggage but is extremely descriptive

Can i use your art for icons with credits? :)

Yes you can! ! I don’t mind, this goes for everyone but if you wanna repost, use, dub, etc with my art, go right ahead! I don’t mind as long as you give me proper credit ^^

#ask reply #anytime I see people using my art as icons I get so happy #i point and go ‘that’s me’ pff #proper credit is descriptions of posts tagging me or in bio if icons #just as long as my name is somewhere we Gucci

the face sephiroth makes while looking back at cloud, it's so badass. It shows the pain that he's converted to hatred. it shows a man that's too far gone.

Brought to you because of my searing hatred for the DEA 💛

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #trans meme #context: the DEA has reign over controlled substances which testosterone is classified as (this is unironically fucked up imo) #this applies also to any disabled and otherwise who rely on their controlled substance/s and are thus under the mercy of the DEA <3 #described images #image description in alt #also the random guy in the background who's not even part of the group is iconic #i'm very sure i have made a post like this but it bears repeating lest anybody forget how much the dea SUCKS #i love that NIXON made the dea. like why are we letting HIM have any lasting effect on the american people. NIXON. #nixon and regan both are under my hate list ngl why is regan remembered fondly by anybody 😭 (rhetorical) #words cannot descrobe how much i hate the war on drugs and the lasting affect and damages it's done to my fellow americans #how the fuck did they let drugs win the war on drugs. they destroyed peoples lives and for what. #my grandma once said he (regan) was her favourite president ever and i was quite literally like 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

HEY NEW FOLLOWERS

if you're REAL (not a spam bot) you had better add a blog description (literally anything) and a custom icon in the next day or two or I will block you! Probably also don't use a picture of a real person (you or otherwise) because that's what the porn bots do!

#for the blog description literally just 'not a bot! don't block!' will probably do #but not everyone checks descriptions before they block so custom icon is most important! #we know tumblr isn't letting you change it immediately but do it quick! #we've just been at war with the bots so long you have to make sure you don't look like the enemy! #we shoot on sight!
