@jaypeach53 @WeirdWriter Audiobooks are a great option to engage with stories, and still have that same imagination aspect. For me, I became blind when I was 14 and had to go learn braille (alongside relearning everything). Learning at a later age like that, I'm a comparatively slow reader. Personal preferences aside, the main point is engaging with stories; print, ebook, braille, audio, whatever works for you.

@WeirdWriter Ugh, but good on you! I recently had a short message exchange with a guy who started getting into reading, though he’s in his 30s. Reading had been difficult for him before, more a chore than anything enjoyable. He’s encouraging others to start reading too, which I applaud. I mentioned to him that the best thing about reading is imagining the characters and scenes. Imagination is so important. We’re already outsourcing it to visual media, and apparently AR now too. No, just no!

@me @afewbugs I’ve found Mastodon really easy to use with a screen reader, and apps like Mona make scrolling the timelines and interacting even easier. I don’t know about resources as such, so I’ll boost, but just wanted to put in my 2 pennies too.
Edit: Just had a look and, of course, @FediTips has something on it: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-use-mastodon-through-a-screen-reader/

What do you think of when you hear the word #Ocarina?
A. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
B. pre-Columbian South/Central American instruments.
C. Clay flutes from around the world: xūn, etc.
D. Italian #ClassicalMusic.
The #Instrument was invented by Giuseppe Donati in 1853 for playing classical repertoire, but ocarina quickly became a catch-all term for similar clay flutes.
This is Gruppo Ocarinistico Budriese with Sonata by C. Avati.
