I'm. happy to announce the alpha release of a project I've been working on for a bit, a tool to build #AltText. It's not #accessible, yet. I'm searching for someone who knows what they're doing around frontend #accessibility RT? #A11y my-alt-text-org.glitch.me

Oh, and while I'm here, I'm building something. It doesn't work very well on mobile yet. One of my frustrations with OCR is pulling the text I actually care about out of the mess returned by OCR. There has to be a better way, so let's try this: ocrop.glitch.me

Hi friends, When Elon Musk killed the last of my bots, I was sad and furious, but also resigned. I said then that I was going to close my Patreon. I changed my mind: patreon.com/posts/86254684… I'm not coming back to Twitter, but I hope you'll join the next leg of the journey.

I love making tools that make it easier to do the right thing, and I think I did here. My ability to do anything on this platform has ended, and with it my last connection to this increasingly hostile place for us trans people. I'm going to be closing this tab. Goodbye, friends

Hi folks, I know the bot has been down for a bit, but I received notice today that its access is officially cut off absent a $5000/month bill. I don't have that, and while the community has been incredibly generous, that's just not raisable sustainably. ...

Hey folks, Apologies for not catching that the bot was down. I've been having a rough time and had disengaged with Twitter. Before I restart it, I'm worried that they're going to stick me with a bill I can't afford if it's still running whenever they cut over. Research help?

Yesterday was supposed to be the day that @TwitterDev changed over to the new pricing plan but with no announcement, that time has come and gone. It's unclear how much longer this bot will function for. More time to #SaveA11yBots

Hi friends, This bot will stop working in the next 24 hours or so, just in case they hand out bans as well, it's been a pleasure serving all of you 💜 #SaveA11yBots

The cost to operate this bot will increase 500x in 3 days, April 29th. $42k/month is not fundraisable in short or perpetuity. The only way we're going to #SaveA11yBots is by raising our voices until we're heard. Are you there, @TwitterDev? RT? 💜

The bot was suspended, but is working again, at least for the next 5 days. The suspension was for posting personal information in an OCR response, but what that information was is not knowable. Apologies for the interruption 💜

Things seem to still be working, it's unclear if that's because the bot hasn't yet disconnected from the API or because the change announced only affected folks who've moved to the new pricing plans. Either way, this bot will stop working in 7 days unless we #SaveA11yBots

Hey folks, I just received a notification that the API that this bot uses to watch for people summoning it might be taken out from under it *today*. That API is part of the reason that the cost to run this bot is about to go up to $42k/month. Updates as I have them.

It looks like I was incorrect, the pricing would actually be $42,000/month. #SaveA11yBots

Today @TwitterDev announced the timeline for changes to API access. Under the new plan, I estimate that the cost to run the bot will be around $10,000/month, which is not doable by a lone dev with a Patreon. We have until April 29th to #SaveA11yBots Please RT
