This Is Me, A Live Blind Person, Telling You All It Is Okay And Good To Learn Braille! Accessibility

This is me, a live blind person, telling you all it is okay and good to learn braille! Accessibility tools that help people and which can be used by anyone are good and you can use them! More people using and knowing braille would actually be a huge help to the blind community because it would make braille more widely spread and give people less excuses to deny us the ability to read (which is a huge issue, about 90 percent of the blind population is functionally illiterate because people are refusing to teach us braille when we absolutely need it). Also braille is cool.

some people think i learned braille for Cool Points but i actually learned it bc my medicine holder has the days printed in braille and i forget to take my medication a lot. i didnt feel like turning on a light one night just to see my medication so i learned braille out of spite. now everytime i go anywhere i have to read the braille signs and i have seen “woman” misspelled as “noman” SEVERAL times.

I’m pretty sure someone on @staff has a grudge against the vision impaired at this point. It’s impossible to even read text with a screen reader in the app.

I miss being included in social media. We’re an afterthought at best these days. It’s damn lonely.

Anyway. ..

By the way, @staff is changing the video player and photo viewer on the mobile app to the one from Tumblr TV. As a result, they have made the abhorrent decision to remove an important accessibility feature in order to TikTok-ifying Tumblr. You can no longer zoom in on photos. Or so I though. Because the visually impaired are now second-class users to the Tumblr Staff, they just decided to make it harder to zoom in on photos.

So, for all of you who, like me, find the pinch-to-zoom feature on Tumblr invaluable to read and view photos, you now have to:

Tap the Photo > Tap the “more” button in the description > tap the photo again

This will open the old photo viewer (for now, anyway) which was formerly one tap away. It will grant you all the former features of the old photo viewer, including the ability to zoom in.
