Y'all, It's with a heavy heart that I am pleading with y'all for help. My husband's cat of 19 years is passing. We just barely got financially stable, and cannot afford his end of life care. We desperately need help to send him off peacefully. 😭💔 gofund.me/6a78d1832 #MutualAid #PetLoss #Cats

The cat is close to the camera, with upright ears and long white whiskers. The tongue is sticking out slightly. A black mat is under part of the cat, and a white appliance and a wooden surface are in the background.

The cat’s eyes are partly closed and the ears are upright. A black mat is behind the cat, and the floor is light gray.

Finally got on mastodon! It's even accessible and useable unlike this hell hole. Y'all should follow me there. @rootkat@kolektiva.social ... until I finish setting up my own instance, anyway.

Hey y'all — could really use some help. Finances are more than tight. Electric is heading for a shut off. More importantly, the cat and dog are going to run out of food before next payday. I know we're all struggling, but please, anything helps. conundrum9999 on venmo and cashapp

Missed some of my daily posts. Last week was rough. Really sinking in how left out I've been after doing the minimal work to implement an accessible interface to this thing. Really fucked with me. As a result I fell behind on work and am now paying for it by not having rent money.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.” No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post. Compliance ≠ usability. Day 23 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

Update: It's not inspiring that blind girl had to make her own accessibility tools while y'all were just over here having community and doing nothing about it. That's actually an an indictment of you. Doublyy so if your first reaction was inspiration and not guilt.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Oh no really — ableism looked great on you for the last 2.5 years — don't pretend to care now. I don't need your performative solidarity. I clearly have to just make the world more inclusive to blind folks by my goddamn self.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Not that I expect any of you to do anything or say anything or acknowledge me in any way. Y'all were fine just ... abandoning me for the last couple years so it's ok. I actually don't expect much from you. Go ahead and like this and move on. Scroll on past. Don't own your complicity. I get it.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

If you used to interact with me on twitter — or you're part of my Portland community — know that I am so betrayed, upset and disappointed in you all. I'll get over it because I have no other choice if I want community. But y'all really need to do the fuck better.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Me: Hey comrades bluesky isn't accessible. Comrades: But the alt text! Me: there's more to a11y than alt text comrades: *tags bsky support once or twice* Me: ... me: ...? me: ... Also me: Well guess I'm fixing it myself.

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Do you feel shitty? Do you feel ashamed? Good. DO that more. If you don't then you're an ableist piece of shit and get the actual fuck off my timeline and out of my "community".

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

I'm not a front end dev. How many of you are? How many of you front end devs call yourselves an ally? Already had the skills? And in 2.5 years not a single one of you fucking tried? Reached out to me to help solve the problem?

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Can you tell I'm fucking pissed that I had to make this accessible for my self and it was fucking easy and you all let me down?

120

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

And now I'm just furious that you all let it go on this long and forced me to make my own fucking accommodations — again? Are you fucking kidding me? It was this simple and not a single person from bluesky devs to allies to random devs just .... fucking fixed it?

052

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

At first I was so excited to be able to scroll the timeline. To read all your posts -- finally! To see so many names I used to see on twitter. So much info I've been excluded from the last 2.5 years.

010

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

In Portland, "community" looks like all your comrades leaving you out in the cold, not standing up for you, not stepping up to help — and then cheering for you when you solve the problem your fucking self. Thanks for making me have to make my own bluesky client, assholes.

010

Kat Q @kataquin.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

So I'm fucking pissed off. In < 24 hours I've tought myself enough front end web dev to make a fully accessible bluesky client, with keyboard nav. How do I have so many disability "allies" who are also front end devs and y'all just act fucking helpless while I've been isolated for 2.5 years?

@parkroseperma.bsky.social in response to "Does PPB make you feel safe?" Blind Portlander here — absolutely the fuck they don't. They assaulted my sighted guide and I for having linked arms. After 5 minutes of us screaming that I'm blind. Cane in hand. 👩‍🦯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBJC...

What would help? – Keyboard shortcuts (j/k) to jump between posts – Landmarks or headings for screen reader nav – Restore focus or scroll position after interaction Reddit had it. Twitter *STILL* has it. This is basic UX for screen reader users. Let’s make Bluesky usable, not just compliant. #A11y
