A note on accessibility.

This time around, Taakitz Week is aiming for maximum accessibility! We encourage all of our participants to add descriptive captions to their image posts and transcripts to their audio and video posts.

To help with this goal, we’ve compiled a list of resources for captioning posts:

why is captioning important?

more reasons to describe your posts

what’s important to describe?

advice for describing skin tone

If you have any questions about how to caption a post, please ask!

If you post something without a descriptive caption, there will be a bit of a lag from when you post your submission to when it’s put in the queue. This is to give the mods time to check the notes of your post and see if someone has taken the time to caption it; unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to caption every post ourselves, so we’ll be relying on the great community of accessible podcast blogs to help us out.

For a list of accessible TAZ blogs, check here!

If there are other ways for our event to be more accessible, let us know!

Woof!

So I doodled one of these then instantly became obsessed with the idea and can’t stop and have been spamming twitter with brain wolf facts sorry everyone.

SORRY FOR THE VERY PERSONAL COMIC!!

This is my half of “Unhealthy”, an essay comic double header with the lovely and talented Sarah Winifred Searle. She and I both wrote about our personal experiences as overweight ladies with eating disorders, and her story is breathtaking! You can buy a physical copy of the book here: https://topatoco.com/collections/abby-howard/products/ah-unhealthy

My animation of a flour sack. Words can’t express how proud I am of these 11 seconds.

Context is important! Pole and sex work are inextricably linked, but there are distinctions between them. Strippers made this hobby what it is, and taught me what I know, and while I haven’t lived that life, I’m honoured to stand on their shoulders.

I hear Patreon has cool stuff

taako my beloved
