I mean a lot of people don’t even consider the fact that in addition to Columbus just being a terrible murderous individual, he was also an idiot and a terrible navigator.

I have today off, (thanks Indigenous People!), so I've been spending it sending get-out-the-vote texts to #Democrats in Ohio and Arizona. If you're #Blind and looking for an #Accessible way to volunteer this election cycle, Campaign for Democracy is entirely virtual, lets you text on your own time, and only requires a device with a Web browser.

@Tamasg Can I text not just “get out and vote” but actually “vote dems”. How direct can one be? :)

@vick21 @Tamasg it's a Dem-leaning campaign, (started by Gov. Newsome of CA), so the people we're texting are mostly prior Democratic voters. it's pretty direct.

Not a fan of Halloween, truth be told.
Stop buying plastic skeletons for Halloween, they're terrible for the environment. Locally sourced, all natural skeletons are much more environmentally friendly. They take a bit of prep work, but so worth it. Reuse, repurpose, recycle.

I really wanted to give @thunderbird another chance, but upon opening the app it asks me to login to my outlook account, which fails. The app also just keeps freezing and crashing. Has it somehow gotten less stable oven time?

I suddenly lost the ability to send messages with a three-finger swipe up in Braille Screen Input today. I can confirm it's broken in Messages, ChatGPT, WhatsApp and Mona. I haven't updated my phone to a new beta, it just broke. I also can't recall changing any settings or gestures that might be related. Very strange indeed. Has anyone else experienced this on 18.1?

For some time, I’ve been using Wipr on my iPhone to minimise trackers and elements that impede #accessibility. But after doing some research, I decided to give 1Blocker a try and I am very impressed. I can tell it’s working and using the web just feels a lot better with it installed.

Love 1Blocker so far. I wish they provided more explanations for some of their options, e.g. “remove annoyances”. What does this mean? :) Anyway, installed and playing with it right now.

What a coincidence!
Superintendent Ryan Walters isn't just talking about buying Bibles for schools. Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material. A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters. But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood's God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.

Okay guys, #Voiceover user here. Every time I open a message notification on my #AppleWatch and go to reply, dictation comes up automatically as soon as I double tap on the text box. This is fine initially because I can just dictate my message, but how do I get out of dictation mode when I'm finished composing my message?? Turning dictation off in settings makes it so where I'm not able to manually enable it in message text fields. Magic tap doesn't get me out... Help?

One of the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal is that every so often, I find myself using an app I’ve used for years and thinking, “dude! I am so glad I have this app, and I am grateful for the indie developer who cares about #accessibility”.
This morning I am feeling that way about the Broadcasts app. In case you’ve not discovered it, here’s the description from the App Store.

The award-winning Broadcasts 3 introduces a brand new iPhone app, a beautiful new Now Playing screen, and a revamped Search experience. Now available on Apple Vision Pro. Listen to streaming internet radio in an ultra-simple, single-purpose app. Broadcasts makes building a library of stations from around the world easier than ever — no subscription required. Use completely free with a limited-size library of stations, or upgrade to the full version to unlock the library limit and add as many of your own stations as you like from the Station Browser, or manually via URL. Search for stations from around the world as easily as from your own library. Showcase gorgeous station and track artwork (for supported stations) with the all-new Now Playing screen. Use Shazam (Beta) to power the Now Playing screen with artwork and metadata for stations that do not provide it, or simply to provide an ambient Now Playing experience for music playing nearby. Show the currently playing artwork and metadata on external displays if you want an all-screen experience. Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV with iCloud & Universal Purchase. Browse stations in grid or list view. Listen in Light or Dark mode. Edit stations to provide your own artwork, or use the Artwork Chooser to generate something fun and colorful. Thoughtful mouse, trackpad & keyboard support provides a great experience on iPad. Perform common tasks from the Command menu, and control playback using keyboard shortcuts. Use Handoff to transfer playback between devices, or AirPlay directly to a home speaker. Listen with just your Apple Watch (Cellular) while out and about, or on Apple TV at home. Supports CarPlay on certified devices; stream internet radio on your CarPlay-enabled head unit directly. Automate playback using Shortcuts.

OK, it’s Jonathan talkin’ again now. This app is a fully accessible experience with VoiceOver. I particularly like the collections feature, because you can organise your radio stations however you like. If you want to create a system where you have your favourite stations organised by genre, knock yourself out. Or maybe you prefer to have stations you listened to regularly organised by country.
The app is updated frequently, and I do find stations in there that don’t seem to show up on some other apps.
It’s definitely worth a look if you’re after an excellent, accessible, well-supported radio app, and there’s an account for the app right here on mastodon, @broadcastsapp

Here’s the App Store link.
