The final assignment has at last been submitted for this teaching period.
I should now feel relaxed, relieved, or some other facsimile thereof.
Instead, I feel ill. Completely drained.
Dragging this sorry carcass of mine back to bed.

As a #multiplyDisabled person, I'm always thinking of ways things could be more #accessible, and one just occurred to me. I'm sitting here doing some things on my computer and needed to install a couple packages. When I tried to install them, I was asked if I wanted to proceed and to type y or n. I have some coordination issues and my hands don't always do what I want them to do. I meant to press y, but I accidentally pressed h, and the installation terminated and had to be restarted. It would be nice if programs could be made, maybe through configuration settings, a little more forgiving with things like this. I wouldn't want to be asked over and over, but if I enter something that's neither y or n, I'd like to be prompted again rather than the program just exiting. This time was on #Linux, but I'm sure I've seen other examples of this on other platforms. What do you all think? Can you think of small ways you might like your #technology to be more #accessible?

First post! Figure I should say hi before I start whining. I'm Kalany, I'm #MultiplyDisabled and queer, and I'm #autistic. I also have #ADHD #anxiety, a #ConnectiveTissueDisorder type unknown, and mild but pervasive #allergies.
I also have chronic #Migraines during which I can't always words good, so I can't always add alt text. But if you see a post of mine without alt text please feel free to add some.
Better do a proper #Introduction then, hadn't I?
I am Harriet, I am a Project Lead at Many Cats Studios here in the dank cold of the UK, I also moonlight professionally as a Games Accessibility Consultant. I am #ActuallyAutistic, #ADHD and #MultiplyDisabled and I use those characteristics to stand up and fight for better inclusion of disabled and neurodivergent developers in the games industry.
Outside of games, I love mycology, lepidopterology and fibre arts. :D Nice to meet folks!
Introduction: Cari. 32. Partnered for 6 years. Feminist. I have #Crohns #HidradenitisSuppurativa #Migraines and #PolymyalgiaRheumatica. I guess that makes me #multiplydisabled. I'm a stay-at-home dog mom and I take way too many pictures of my #dogs.
I have a BS in PoliSci and I had to drop out of law school.
My bf and I own our house so sometimes I post about #interiordesign and #homeimprovement type stuff. We also play #PokemonGo. A lot.
