21, disabled catgirl deeply in love with the worst fictional addict you've ever seen. Too filthy to live, too spiteful to die.

Shout out to everyone at the counter-protests. Very few fash showed up in most places, and were vastly outnumbered. There was an incident at the one I attended where a racist started squaring up with a black guy, and both got arrested. Thankfully the crowd pressured the police to release the black guy (with chants like Give Him Back) and we successfully got him de-arrested and released!

It's heavily likely that a lot of the 100+ announced attacks were decoys or testing public & police response. That, or the fash got intimidated by the numbers. But I think one of the first is more likely.

However, showing up was not useless! Sending a message in every area that we will not tolerate racist attacks and that we will protect our community. If you can, please turn up to the day of counter-protests on Saturday. Check out the green and black cross website for advice (especially legal advice) to stay safe during protests & counter-protests.

Accessible fancy text for all

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a particularly huge fan of people doing fancy text like this:

Oooh look at this fancy text aren't I so fancy

Or some, like, homestuck typing quirk-ass text like this:

GC: Objection!!!

I think it's hard to read, it's hard to make sense of, and honestly I think it's also kinda annoying. But, I understand that for some people, it's how they want to (or need to) express themselves. And as someone who's a bit of a big fan of accessibility, I'd like to give people the choice to do what they want, but in a way that's not going to completely heck over people using screen readers.

So, I'd like introduce Accessible fancy text ๐ŸŽ‰!!!

Below is a snippet you can use in your cohost posts (chosts) to make sure that if you use fancy text (which I wouldn't recommend using in general but still), it'll still be readable to screen readers. Below the fold is a writeup about it that goes into more detail.

The Snippet

<!-- use div, p, span, whatever works here -->
<div aria-describedby="user-content-id-name">
	<span aria-hidden="true"> <!-- Put your stuff here! --> </span>
	<span id="id-name" style="clip: rect(0 0 0 0); clip-path: inset(50%); height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; width: 1px;">Rewrite the stuff but in human-readable text</span>
</div>

It also works inline too!
