Wear the Mark, by Dean DiMarzo, aka longestsoloever

A song about masking, inspired by the character Gangle from The Amazing Digital Circus. Released shortly after episode 4. The lyrics are incredible.

"Another day, another show with no rehearsal"
"Hard to say what remains when I stumble off the stage. Does the one behind the role still have a face?"

As an autistic person, I can often rely on alt text to understand memes. The thing is, memes expect its context to be automatically understood. Yet it is context that I can struggle with if it isn't presented. Therefore, sometimes memes can just look like nonsense to me at first.
It isn't until reading the description for blind people that the context is explained. So, I would argue strongly that alt text for accessibility goes beyond just those that can't physically see.

(long text warning) When the world is graced by people with Horse Autism, then we also have Thousand Mile Horses. Such horses are actually quite common; it’s having enough Horse Autism to recognize them that’s rare. Hence, though a horse may be an S-Rank pull, it is humiliated at the hands of a filthy casual, dying in a stable without ever being recognized as a horse that can run a thousand miles. Such a horse needs to eat a metric fuckton of grain, but the guy feeding horses couldn’t recognize what he has on his hands without a metric fuckton of help. Hence this horse, though it has such enormous potential, never eats its fill, never unlocks its true power, it never gets a chance to shine and it gets assigned scrub tier on the Horse Leaderboards; who’d look for top talent in the bronze league? You whip it wantonly, you don’t feed it enough to reach its potential, it cries out to you and you just crack the whip again, grumbling “there ain’t a damn decent horse on this earth;” is it really the horse, or is it your neurotypical ass?

(long text warning) The Tang dynasty poet Han Yu (768–824) wrote a well-known fable about Bole and qianlima. Only when an era has a man like Po-le are there thousand-li horses. Thousand-li horses are common, but Po-les, on the other hand, are rare. Thus even though there may be famous horses, they only become abused under the hand of the man to whom they are enslaved, and they die in the stables—never having been recognized as thousand-li horses. Thousand-li horses at times consume a whole dan [approximately 60 kg] of grain in one feeding. If the one who feeds them does so without knowing they are capable of a thousand-li, then even though they may have the ability to go so far, they, having not eaten their fill, are lacking in strength, and their talent and beauty are not apparent. Moreover, if one wanted to rank them with regular horses, they would not make the grade. How then could they be asked to have the ability of going a thousand li? They are whipped inappropriately and fed in such a way that they cannot fulfil their innate talents. Yet when they cry out, they cannot be understood. With whip in hand the man approaches them and says, "There are not any good horses in the empire." Alas! Is it that there are really no good horses or is it perhaps that there is no one who really understands horses?

For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited theories linking vaccines to autism.

Now, scientists studying the condition fear he has preconceived notions that will harm the field and taint new funding for research.

@ProPublica#Autism is NOT a #disease, & does NOT require a #cure, thanks awfully. #Actuallyautistic people like me would be VERY grateful if neurotypicals stopped treating us as untermenschen.

But what if it's got more to do with logic than blame?

My feeling is:

1. It’s better to use the data we have to hand, as best we can. This involves focusing on & noticing outcomes.

2. It’s better to be cautious in potentially risky or even life-threatening situations (such as the one used in the famous study on this. Refs below).

3. It’s better if we all take some degree of responsibility in any situation we’re involved in.
