@Infosifter That's what I was thinking. It seems a largely visual medium.

I know I've been relatively silent here and not sure who's still around, but curious about other blind folks' experiences with Instagram. Yes? No? Accessible? Not? I don't imagine ever posting but have been curious about following a few accounts.

@LauraLautaret That's what I figured too. I'm trying to get back into this platform but I really miss the lack of third party accessible desktop clients.

@SteveOfMaine I"d say it depends on your level of loss and what you want in terms of features. Probably a question for your audiologist.

@pawpower Ah, that might be why I didn't realize. I switched over to the iPad last month.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower Unusable how? I was using it on the iPod 7th Gen before it went swimming in my washer machine and I had to get an iPad. I was using Voice Dream with Voiceover though and not a braille display so your user experience might be different.

Good for them. ACcessibility is a feature, not a bug.

@pawpower He's able to walk up and down stairs in them without a problem.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower Now that I think about it, they wouldn't work for you. They don't really have grip but they're a very tough rubber and they don't slide. I think Champ likes them because he can feel ground under his paws instead of with those sneaker type that feel like he's wearing a shoe.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower They're color-coated according to size.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower I don't know if she'd be a medium or a large but I"ll tell you the larbe only come in purple.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower I have to slip them on something like a glass and then slide it onto his paw because I really need both hands, so I don't know if it wil work for you, but they work really well.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@pawpower I use PAWZ for hchamp. They are shaped like and look kind of like balloons and they're hard to get on but once they're on, they're on.

So, I"m doing some research on streaming service apps after getting an Amazon Fire Stick recently, and I"m wondering if anyone has experience with Hulu with the HBO Max add-on?

@kayleyjothomas I would not object to being part of a square. Although if I wound up taking on too much work it would probably me more helpful if I were squared, since I would need double the me to get it all done.

I love how our government is in shambles and I've already posted nearly 8 weeks of content in all five of my classes. Get out of my way, America.

Sometimes, being a person with a disability sucks. I'm not asking for sympathy. I just think people need to know and appreciate it.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

@kayleyjothomas Well, if it's any consolation I plowed through it because of the new legislation that requires our syllabi to be publicly available months in advance and I already have to start prep on my summer course as soon as I get it assigned.

[Poetprodigy7🖋 @poetprodigy7]

Well, I found my answer, and it's no. This is what bothers me about audip description. It shouldn't be selective. Not everyone can afford every service, and description should be universal. End of story.
