hi my name is dan and i enjoy garbage
u know that reminds me of this tweet going around making fun of dark mode users like ‘haha do you guys need your books on dark paper’ and it’s like yeah some people can’t read text printed on white paper? regular books aren’t accessible to some people for that reason. whats the joke.
source: used to work for a company that produced large print documents and one of the services we provided was putting documents onto different coloured paper for people who couldn’t read black on white 👍
My mom!!! My mom!!!
My mom is very dyslexic and has always had a really really hard time with reading, especially black text on white paper. When she went back to college to get her degree, she found that using a colored transparent folder (she says that highlighter yellow and greens worked best for her) over a printed paper helped her distinguish words a LOT easier!! Of course, this may not work for everyone, but it helped her a lot!! She says it’s the only way she was able to pass her ethics class :]
tag by sunderwight: #people mocking accessibility stuff always end up going 'what’s next? another thing that is actually a good idea and already done sometimes?’
