Hey #blind #students of #Mastodon.

So I'm running into some accessibility issues in my algebra course involving graphing. I do not have the support of state services for the blind, however I'm connected with disability services on campus. Otherwise, I'm going at all this on my own and for the most part handeling things well.

However, I'm not exactly sure how best to overcome things where advanced math and graphing come into play.

My tools currently include a standard, non-graphic calculator, a laptop running NVDA as a screen reader, 80-cell braille display on lone from disability services and a whole lot of tenacity. So far, I've maintained a consistent A in my course, but with the graphing stuff, I'm concerned that might change.

So, what are your tools and techniques for dealing with this and more advanced calculatory things? What add-ons may be of use, what tools should I be looking at, and what questions should I be asking?

Thank you so much in advanced to anyone who offers any advice.

Hi all!

We are the #students in the #occupation of the #Ghent #university ! The occupation is organized by two organisations: Ghent Students for Palestine (facebook.com/people/Gent-Stude…) and End Fossil Ghent (linktr.ee/endfossil_gent)

We started the occupation last monday, to ask the #UGent to divest from both Israel and #fossil fuels and are planning to stay until they've done both!

Since October 7th, I've joined protests, fundraising events for Gaza, and students on university campuses.

As a Jew and someone who has a ton of friends and family in Israel, I want to share some thoughts on claims of antisemitism in student encampments and the broader Palestinian solidarity movement:

Well done! 🎉

Thanks @philn and @slomo for your help!
