Link at end but I wasn't sure how/where to report this, but one small change could nake this page a lot easier to understand. Remove the favicon's completely, and just have the hyperlinked title, instead of the URL. This page is incredibly hard to understand as it stands now. I was going to recommend it to a fellow blind person but is there an easier list of Eleventy starters? One with far less clutter? 11ty.dev/docs/starter/ @11ty

Learning a screen reader does not have to require scoping through a huge manual or asking your virtual assistants questions into the late evening... I built a training module for the that walks you through 6 chapters, 40 lessons, of everything you need to know. Used by more and more people each day as we navigate through feedback. If you are just getting into learning assistive technology, or, you know of someone needing help, I invite you to download the NVDA screen reader itself, and give it a spin.

Hey, I'm Tony. Totally blind musician, podcast host, assistive technology instructor, and founder of Inclusive Pulse.
I've got 18 music releases out there, a podcast called The Tony Gebhard Show, and I built NVDA Coach — a free, open-source add-on that teaches NVDA right inside the screen reader.
I care about accessibility, disability advocacy, LGBTQ+ inclusion, sobriety, and keeping it real. I make things, I break things, and I talk about all of it.
Based in the west coast with my guide dog Norris.
Music, motivation, and positively obnoxious.

Another giant introduction

This will have links in it because I am using my website more and more these days.

I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.

I am a totally blind man and I've contributed a lot of my free time and labor to improving Fediverse spaces, including, but not limited to, documentation. Software design, non-code contributions, community based disability solutions.

I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.

As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.

My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.

That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.

My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.

My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.

I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Learn about my podcasts I listen to at sightlessscribbles.com/podroll/

I'm an audiobook reader.

Learn about all my reading things and reading favorites at sightlessscribbles.com/reading/

Answering other asked questions with my FAQ page at sightlessscribbles.com/faq/

Some additional things that bring me profound joy.

Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!

I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.

I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.

I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.

I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.

W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0

W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0 will provide a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible to users with disabilities. Following these guidelines will address many of the needs of users with blindness, low vision and other vision impairments; deafness and hearing loss; limited movement and dexterity; speech disabilities; sensory disorders; cognitive and learning disabilities; and combinations of any of these disabilities. These guidelines address the accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, wearable devices, and other Web of Things devices. The guidelines apply to various types of web content, including static, dynamic, interactive, and streaming content; audiovisual media; virtual and augmented reality; and alternative access presentation and control. These guidelines also address related web tools such as user agents (browsers and assistive technologies), content management systems, authoring tools, and testing tools.

of course, these musings are nothing new. if you've followed me, you probably know of my little "these aren't the SCs you're looking for..." talk. i'm actually really happy about the last iteration of this presentation at last year's conference...which is why it really shits me that that conf decided NOT to release the video recordings of the talks publicly, and seem to have no intention to in future... but at least my slides are here patrickhlauke.github.io/wcag-i

and of course, one of the main parts of my job (and often also spare time) is to try and unfuck some of the clearly wrong, vague, handwavy, incongruous, outdated mumblings of some success criteria. so I'm probably "part of the problem" here. i often wish WCAG was just a set of suggestions/aims, rather than the kudgel it turned into to force some sort of compliance. but hey ho ...

Patrick H. Lauke
@[email protected]

not going to lie, one of the worst side effects of has been the obsession with reading the tea leaves of what a particular SC means (many of these written almost 20 years ago), which SC to fail things under, and generally an obsession (from industry/product owners) to satisfy WCAG ... rather than focusing on actual (which often goes beyond WCAG, or involves things that simply fall between SCs, or are just "best practice" rather than hard fails). but it is what it is...

I've been having a bad tinnitus flareup this week, which has had a big impact on my productivity and ability to focus. This feature to play a selection of white noise patterns has really helped (System Settings > Accessibility > Hearing > Audio > Background Sound). It's one of those features that I don't see mentioned ever, but it's been a godsend since I discovered it.

Dark Noise is my jam!

Screenshot of the macOS hearing accessibility menu, with options for different white noise background sounds that can be selected. Dark Noise is selected, and a volume slider is at the bottom of the window.
