Thank you for this!! I will be sure not to include my personal opinion when describing something to a disabled person. Again thanks for this :)

hi! my name is cassie, i’m deaf, and my full-time job primarily involves working in disability access. i’m here with an important message about image and audio descriptions:

when you’re describing things for disabled people, you should not include your personal opinion on the thing you’re describing. even if it’s positive! you shouldn’t describe things as “a beautiful painting”, “a gorgeous photo”, “a wonderful song”, etc. i mean, if you’re sighted, think about how annoying it would be if every. single. picture you saw online was captioned with “this is beautiful and you like this” or “this is ugly and you hate it”, with the expectation that you have to agree with whatever the caption says and your own opinion doesn’t matter. it would be super annoying, right!

not to mention, i’ve seen people do this on pictures of real people, which can get weird—especially if they’re in a marginalized group you’re not in, in which case it can start to feel very fetishizing. 

so, to recap:

good descriptions: “a realistically-rendered oil painting of a tree”, “a selfie of a person with short blue hair”, “a pencil sketch of taako”

bad descriptions: “a gorgeously realistic oil painting of a tree”, “a selfie of an adorable person with short blue hair”, “a fantastic pencil sketch of taako”

(i encourage reblogs on this, because this is a huge issue that i’d love to see people gain awareness of)

Gwen about Arthur and Merlin

What she says: I might be queen but even I don't have the power to stop those two once they've set their mind to something.

What she means: I might be queen but those two are idiots and they are outside my jurisdiction

This is a little happy accident, I guess

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.
