Twine

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 17:38:54 GMT

For those of you who know how to code in Twine, does anyone know if you can do Twine code in a text editer like you can regular HTML? Because i want to code something in Twine, but guess what isn't accessible! You guessed it. Not the devs' faults this time, though. People have pointed it out but they claim they need concrete problems for fixing instead of just being informed and they don't have bl/visually impaired beta testers. I'd be happy to do the beta testing, if it'd make Twine accessible, as we've got a story to tell that could benefit nicely from that non-linear storytelling method, but I know nothing about Github, nor how to sign up and find the whole thing supremely intimidating, but I really want accessible Twine. The fact it isn't makes us sad.

Bigot-poking

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 20:19:38 GMT

We are in the mood to do some writing, today. We are also in the mood to poke some bigots in the eye. So with that being said, we are hosting a prompt call. No need to boost if you don't want to, and we work best in flash fiction and poetry, but we are so tired of writer's block that if you, our awesome readers would give us some prompts, we'd be mighty greatful.

Just a quick Early Signal Boost

Tue, 05 Sep 2017 03:56:17 GMT

Tomorrow is ysabetwordsmith 's poetry fishbowl. I'm signal boosting early as it seems we'll be snowed in under work tomorrow.

If you don't know how a fishbowl works, basically, you prompt stuff and Ysabet writes it. You can find more info at her journal.

Fishbowl!

Tue, 02 May 2017 22:02:12 GMT

ysabetwordsmith is at it again. They're doing their monthly poetry fishbowl. If you want to play, go and leave them a prompt. Theme this time round is history as told by the losers" Feel free to prompt something. Ysabet will take those prompts and weave them together into stellar poems. If you post prompts you get a free copy of your poem. Plus, you can sponsor that one or any other that catches your eye.

There are also new verses added if you signal-boost.

Discord and Accessibility

Mon, 24 Apr 2017 01:28:31 GMT

So. Discord, the wildly popular chat program isn't accessible for visually impaired persons. Not even the phone app is accessible.

People have put up requests for accessibility, but the devs call it a "quality of life"feature, and actually had the balls to suggest to a totally blind Mac user that he should just use Zoom instead of Voiceover. For those of you who don't know, Zoom is a program that greatly increases the size of text. So, it's the equivalent of telling a deaf person to just turn their computer volume up.

But, they say that if they can get enough upvotes, then they'll consider the feature. So, I'm going to share their idea, because I've been fighting with Discord all day because literally nothing is accessible beyond creating an account and changing a few user settings and all of us are frustrated.

So, if people would be so kind as to upvote this feature request or leave comments that say you think that an app which has a focus on community shouldn't segregate part of that community, we'd be mighty grateful.

Here is the request page.

And ysabetwordsmith could you share this as well? Better yet, if any of you want to share this, please do.
