New instance, so a new #intro post. I' don't really know what to say so I'll extend my bio a bit.I'm a disabled lesbian trans woman from the north-west of England. I'm totally blind and have cerebral palsy. I possibly neurodivergent in some form or other as well but haven't been diagnosed. I've been happily married for nearly 7 years at the time of writing. My wife doesn't do much on social media so I usually don't mention her name in public posts.of my interests include:Music, both playing and listening. I play keyboards, drums and bass. I love synthesisers and learning how to program my own patches on the ones that are accessible to me. I have a fairly eclectic music taste and favourite genres include pop, soul, R&B, rock, electronic music and others. It's probably easier to say what I don't like.reading. mainly fantacy and sci-fi but I'll give most things a go if the blurb grabs me.Technology interests me, but mainly as an end user rather than messing about with servers and stuff like that, although I have done a bit of coding. One tech thing I am fascinated by though is speech synthesisers.Accessibility is of course important to me, and I've been known to go on rants about that. I'm a full-time screen reader user. NVDA on windows and VoiceOver on iOS.I've done a fair git of Wikipedia editing in the past, but not much these days.I think that'll do for now, but feel free to ask me things. I don't bight, much.Here's some hashtags.#Disabled #Trans #Blind #CerebralPalsy #England #UK #neurodivergent #Music #drums #Bass #Synthesisers #Reading #Bookstodon #Geek

Wikipedia mentions that it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day on the English version's main page, but to create an account on there and many of the Wikimedia Foundation's other projects you have to complete an inaccessible captcha. They offer an option for someone to create an account for you if you can't fill it in, but that's not good enough.There's been a ticket open about this since 2006 according to the date stamp and nothing's been done.https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6845#GAAD #Wikipedia #Wikimedia
