A word about the safeword in my bio: I try to be inclusive, considerate, and generally not an arsehole, but I am not always able to do that, consciously or not. I sometimes have trouble reading the room, even more so online. The safeword can be used to unambiguously signal that I have fucked up. If you send me that, I'll try to stop and reach out to understand what it is that I have done wrong if appropriate. This is open to anyone and I hope this can become a more widespread practice.
I am now accepting applications for pro bono work. If you are a person or organisation (registered or not) that is or works with/for marginalised identities, especially LGBTQ+, or black/anti-racist activism please get in contact with me. I cannot guarantee I have the expertise or time to help you, but you're always welcome to reach out so we can work something out together, even if you're not sure. See rest of the thread for things I might be able to help with: #probono #charity #software

asking for recommendation/connections
as for payment, I'm thinking a flat rate, somewhere between 25 - 100 $ ish depending on scope, but everything is negotiable. feel free to ask questions if you're interested!
asking for recommendation/connections
I have two fairly small statically generated websites that are basically blogs/portfolios. I've done what I can to make them accessible but that is not my expertise. I'm basically looking for someone to just use it for a few minutes, and tell me what would help you use it better. Pay can vary with the scope, but I'm not thinking of big elaborate things. Like, 15-20 mins of use and a couple notes would be great
asking for recommendation/connections
Fedi, can you help me find someone who is proficient with visual impairment accessibility tools? ideally, someone who actually uses them, but familiarity with accessibility practices is also okay. I'm looking for someone to "proofread" my two websites. I can pay, but not a lot. more context in the thread below.

When you're talking about Linux, it's okay to say that it's "open source".
It's okay to say that it's "free software".
It's okay to call it "GNU/Linux", "Linux", or to mess up its name.
It's okay to refer to it as "the one with the friendly penguin".
Part of RMS' legacy has been an incessant obsession with terminology and pedantry, overshadowing far more important shared objectives which are fundamentally emancipatory in nature.
Pedantry is not activism; it is alienating, not emancipatory.
Perpetually confused enby, aspiring formless blob, doesn't don't understand how things work, probably loves you. Likes programming, data science, and hugs. Is interested in accessibility, anti-racism and anarchism but doesn't know much about them yet. Believes in don't pay it back, pay it forward.
