You know what makes me sad?

It makes me sad, and not a little bit mad, that there are disabled people -- even those who are Disability Advocates -- who hate Disability Pride Month because they're convinced it was invented by normate people to make themselves feel better. I suspect that's because it follows directly after June's Queer Pride Month, and, if you are young enough to not remember the history for yourself ('cause we all know it's not being taught n schools), it can feel like a leftover crumb. But it is so, so, not.

If I were Queen of Calendars, I might move Disability Pride Month to April, to commemorate the 504 Sit-in of 1977, especially the occupation of the regional offices of Health, Education, and Welfare in San Fransisco, by over 500 people, mostly disabled (with their personal care assistants). The Occupation lasted 28 Days -- the longest protest occupation of a federal building in U.S. History. Since Queer Pride Month commemorates a protest, maybe Disability Pride Month should, too. The biggest knock against April is the weather is still iffy in much of the country for pride parades and outdoor gatherings.

(Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was the legal predecessor of the ADA. And no, that's not a typo. Most of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was passed in 1973, but the one section that outlined rights for the disabled was put to the side, and ignored for four whole years, because it was deemed to be too expensive and confusing to extend civil rights to disabled people. It was the Sit-In in 1977 that finally pushed President Carter to sign it, and make it law).

Here's a retrospective report on the Sit-In from CBS news, that aired in the '80s (Auto-generated captions):

(the video is 6 minute, 12 seconds. But the news report ends at 5 minutes 42 seconds)

no rolls barred llc or w/e please please hire me to write captions on your videos.

#you can't keep doing this (letting youtube auto-generate your captions) #i think every youtube channel with more than 100k subs should legally have to provide subtitles #please. i want to understand you. #no rolls barred #genuinely considering writing an email #as someone with an interest in transcribing and a love of nerd shit. I could do it.

[asimplecabbage]

Hear me out. Ban watching YouTube videos and TikToks on full volume in public (I know this idea is not controversial or new). Normalize subtitles instead. Strong-arm companies into making shit accessible to the hearing-impaired by making these accommodations the default and not just a hit-or-miss add-on.

#this post was inspired by the horrendous YouTube auto-generated captions

"Also she's straight up killed and eaten some people which. Again, is not a psychic power, but. holy shit. Gotta do what you gotta do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #girl" is the most iconic line I've ever heard in a YouTube video it took me tf out thank you for your saiki k video essay (and double thank you for captioning it how tf are big YouTubers out here not even captioning their shit and relying on the trash auto captions 🙄🙄)

HEHEHEHE thank you!!!! :D and yeah ugh i hate when videos don’t have captions -_-

#TO BE PERFECTLY FAIR…. #youtube had made their little in-site caption creator AWFUL to use #it used to be super user-friendly and made sense and u could easily and quickly put some captions together from scratch #but it’s WAY harder now and it’s AWFUL #i honestly just edited the auto captions it generated #which also to be fair were 90% accurate #i pretty much only had to correct name spelling and of course added dialogue tags and such #i think i’ll look into like captioning in adobe or another program good for that #because i genuinely used to love captioning my videos like it wasn’t even a chore it was something i enjoyed doing #but youtube fucked it all up because of course they did #asks #megid0nt

the overlap between this boom in tumblr porn bots and the sudden shift in approach that youtube comment bots have taken is. interesting to say the least

#angel.txt #idk if they actually happened around the same time or if i’m just noticing them at the same time but wow #the youtube bots are so interesting right now? #they’ll all comment the same generic stuff but it’ll come off as super realistic to people who dont notice the pfps or usernames #it’s like they’re throwing either all the comments on the video or the auto-generated captions into some AI to generate a feasable comment #like im watching a colleen ballanger vlog and 50 top comments mention her by name and her family and her kids and shit its Weird!!? #like if this is the next step up after making their pfp/username match the uploader and replying to people with video chat prize scam links #then wow idk if i want to know what comes after this #its funny tho im realizing now it’s probably a new approach to how youtube will display @usernames instead of display names in comments #so the ‘i want to chat with you!’ creator scam isnt feasable anymore hskdjdk

Don’t you love when you turn on captions on YouTube for a song/music video and it just says

#we all know YouTube’s auto generated captions are horrendous but still #rosie rants #im not hard of hearing or anything but I sometimes have trouble deciphering the words for voices with heavy accents

The official video of that Kazutaka Kodaka and Akihiro Hino panel at Level-5's TGS appearance last year is unfortunately private now (boo!) but the part I found most interesting at the time was the list of mystery games and other media that they each liked and found influential, so I'm gonna list them here so I can finally throw out the post-it note I wrote them on.

Kodaka mentioned Cross Detective Story (specifying that he played it on the Playstation, not the Saturn, and that he liked how gory it was, as well as the theme song by Pizzicato Five), Edogawa Ranpo stories, the Kindaichi Case Files (specifically one of the TV shows), and Great Detective Sanma.

Hino brought up the Portopia Serial Murder Case (specifying that he played it on PC, not the Famicom, and that he enjoyed the unexpected culprit) and Policenauts.

#Kazutaka Kodaka #Akihiro Hino #about half of these are only available in english via fan translations and one of them isn't available in english at all lol #speaking of translations this is based off of a google translation of auto generated japanese youtube captions #so if i missed a detail help me out

Don't let them lie to you. There's always a next group for Authoritarians, for people of that mindset. And you will not turn that Authoritarian Tiger into a vegetarian by feeding it your friends.

#jabber jay #too many youtubers who i KNOW have the production means to include captions DONT #like if you have a script you should have captions #if you have a fancy multicam setup and lapel mics and are sponsored by fucking GEICO you should have captions #literally all you need to do is run a speech to text (THE AUTO GENEREATED BIT) on the video and edit it from there #another pet peeve is when you can tell they ran speech to text and did not proofread it

I've noticed that YouTube's auto-generated captions have begun indicating when music without dialogue is playing, but sometimes these musical interludes are captioned as "[music]", and sometimes they're captioned as "[foreign music]", and at first I was like "okay, there must be some algorithmic exotifying going on here", but I've listened to numerous examples and for the life of me I can't figure out how it decides which one to use. At one point it was captioning the Pizza Tower soundtrack as "[foreign music]".

Hi! I decided to record 2 hours of myself talking about my personal pick for the best character in the AA trilogy.

I really wanted to upload this fully subtitled but the auto-captions apparently take forever to process... so here is is without for now and I'll go back in the next few days and try to up the accessibility on it.

If you want to hear me analyze Franziska to a deranged degree and talk about how she's the whole reason I even got into AA in the first place, here's two fucking hours of that for you!

MASSIVE THANKS TO @cryptidwithacopiccollection FOR ILLUSTRATING A GENEROUS HALF OF THIS VIDEO!!!!! I AM STILL IN AWE AT THE NUMBER OF PIECES SHE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROJECT PLEASE GO SHOW HER SOME LOVE

Reblogs, youtube comments, and youtube likes are always nice! Thanks so much!
