welcome to daybreakthing! a liomoqai flag & term-making blog!!
please read our byf & boundaries (link) before interacting!
like what we do? consider giving us a tip (link)!
Harassing someone does not make you a good person. And this goes for "problematic" people, too.
You're allowed to dislike people, heck, even hate people, but as soon as that hate becomes harmful to others and yourself, you are seen as a dangerous person to be around. An unlikeable scumbag, who likes to throw people around because they don't have the same opinions as you.
I am disappointed. Utterly so.
i am so disappointed in this community. what the actual fuck is wrong with you people. if you think harassing people is okay, block us. i mean that so sincerely. i don't care that the purpose of this blog is archival; fuck all the way off. we have absolutely 0 tolerance for this behavior. you should be ashamed.
ETA: i do not care if said person is on the other side of a discourse stance. this goes for a hell of a lot more than just what we've been made aware of today. it does not matter if someone is part of an "acceptable group to target" or has an identity you don't agree with. this is fucking disgusting, and we are so tired of seeing it.

Mullwolf / Wolfmull
Mullerian + Wolffian flag and symbol as well as two combo terms. Intended for intersex people who would find the term useful for whatever reason ( hence the purple stripes. )
Made by combining the Mullerian and Wolffian flags and symbols from here. I have another alternative symbol somewhere but I can't find it right now. When I do i'll post it separately and link it here.
Here are the plain symbols for repositioning or use elsewhere. in order: with outline and plain black.
Made on request for anon but free for anyone to use anywhere. This was in my drafts for a few months and I'm very low energy so if there are any formatting, spelling, or other mistakes / inaccuracies I apologize. ( Coiner is intersex. )
No strange comments or arguments please. I really don't have the brain power at the moment, i'm just going to delete it and block. Thank you for understanding.

just made a flag that isn’t simple striped for the first time and thought i should add a psd to the post (and maybe the layers? i’ve seen some do that)— how should i do that? i downloaded the psd but i’m not sure how to really attach it right?
we add psds to our posts by using an external link ! you can upload the psd file to google drive, catbox, filegarden, or any other file hosting site & then add a link to it in ur post !
[pt: use alt text responsibly /end pt]
A guide on what alt text is and how to use it! This guide is geared for those new to writing alt text, or for those who have been doing so for a while, but still need a little extra help. This is also geared towards describing flags, but can be used as a guide for describing most images
[pt: The mechanics /end pt]
What is alt text?
Alt text is an (optional, but highly encouraged) accessibility feature that allows you to describe your images for the blind and the visually impaired. This allows your blind and visually impaired viewers to better understand the contents of your post.
How does that work?
Some blind people use screenreaders (as well as other accessibility features) to navigate their phones, which will read alt text. Visually impaired people may also use screenreaders, depending on what their visual impairment is.
Why do we use alt text?
Because blind people and visually impaired people may not be able to fully see or look at the images. Screenreaders can't actually read the contents of images, so we have to describe them.
Where is alt text located?
Alt text is attached to an image. On tumblr, you may locate it by clicking the little "alt" square that appears on images with alt text. If you use a screenreader, it will automatically read alt text out by scanning the image. You can add alt text to an image by pressing the meatballs menu.

[pt: how to write alt text /end pt]
If you're not sure what to describe in alt text, that's okay. I'm here to help you!
Generally, what you need to describe will be the subject of the photo, what it looks like, what the subject is doing, what it's wearing (if it is wearing clothing,) and briefly, what the surrounding environment is. You may also describe anything else if it offers context necessary to the post. Here's an example:

Here's a few more; this time, for flags!
(source; source; source; thank you to @rwuffles, @daybreakthing, and @the-astropaws for letting me use their flags and descriptions!)

[pt: Dos and Don'ts /end pt]
DO:
DON'T:
¹This includes writing a description for an image that's not there, using it for jokes, using it to credit the source of an image, using it as an "about me," etcetera. This purposefully misleads blind and visually impaired people.
If you're going to do this, at least write in the post "this image description isn't accurate." No, putting "this blog isn't screenreader friendly" in your bio means nothing, it has to be in the post (if you're publicly tagging it.) While it's preferable you don't do this at all, at least signal that you're doing so.
²This includes hex codes. Someone is less likely to know what "#c75f6d" or what "dusky rose" looks like. However, they will probably be able to visualize "a dull, reddish pink."

[pt: I'm still confused /end pt]
Don't worry! People don't seem to realize this, but alt text is a skill like any other. And just like with other skills, practice goes a long way. If you're only just starting to write alt text, it's okay if you don't know where to start!
Here's a secret: everyone has a different way of witting alt text. People have different methods of writing, whether in books, texting, or even alt text. It's a good idea to study how other people write alt text and find a way that works best for you.
You can also practice describing random images! It might feel silly, but it can help you figure out how you want to word things and what to describe. You can also get a feel for how you want to write.
If all else fails, there are always image description blogs; like @/accessibilitea, for example. You can also ask a friend for help.
Oh, and here's a heads up: as long as you're describing an image as accurately and cohesively as possible, it's a good image description. Also, something is better than nothing.
