Dagnabbit! In this, the year of our Lord 2026, you would think that the days of screenreader users such as myself getting stopped cold by #captcha on websites would be long behind us. But, alas, such is not the case. I’ve talked a lot about my battles with #Bluesky and captcha, which I ultimately lost. This afternoon, I had decided to give some financial love to my local newspaper, the Knoxville News Sentinel. While I think that paywalls are evil, there are times when I actually want to read articles that are behind them. Anyway, I was happily filling out all the info, and at the very last step, there it was: captcha. And there wasn’t even anything to solve! It was just…there. And of course it wouldn’t let me get past it. Actually, I think captcha is more evil than paywalls, come to think of it.

Not without your help. But you're not helping."
