every time one of these "1 like = 1 answer" images goes around I get to unfollow so many people because nobody cares about access! you don't care about me, I don't care about you either, goodbye

I know the questions don't all fit in the alt text! it's better to write them out as you post the answers anyway, because nobody will keep scrolling up and down to see what you're even answering.

but you're not even making the slightest effort.

I'm fucking tired of this kind of exclusion, and it hurts especially if it's other disabled people doing it.

at this point there's no excuse for not even *trying*.

just say you don't care about disabled people and save us all the trouble. yes, even if you're disabled yourself.

you're literally posting a meme with the specific purpose of getting to know you - and you're excluding everyone who doesn't have 100% perfect vision. that communicates very clearly what kind of people you do and don't want to get to know you.

I've had enough.

I also make note of the people who somehow always "forget". can you imagine how much it sucks to be "forgotten" and left out all the fucking time? and I'm not even blind. I can see pictures fine. If I really have to I can squint and read those text pictures.

I won't actually be able to process the text in them and understand what the sentences mean, but I can understand what they're about.

a lot of people that I care about can't do that and it all just makes me so fucking angry.

it's not just a sucky meme on twitter, it's a recurring theme throughout my life. I can't even count how many groups I'm actively being excluded from by lack of access, online and offline. some days I just can't fucking take it.

special mention goes out to the nonbinary meet-up where they listened to me when I told them that where they decided to go and how they decided to talk where not accessible to me, went "oh", and proceeded to go to the inaccessible place and do the inaccessible talking

and then proceeded to not do the things they'd promised to do to make it less inaccessible, and then I went home and nobody said goodbye.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get over that one.

y'all are certainly not making me feel like there's any chance for something better.
