October is blindness awareness month and you might have noticed that recently I've been talking more about vision in general lately. I'm going to answer some common questions and give you some facts. First, blindness is a spectrum. Only 10% of us see nothing, most have residual/some usable vision

I have been told it's ADHD awareness month. I was not aware of this. I faintly remember perhaps being aware of it last year, but I must've forgotten it in the interim. This is likely due to the ADHD.

Perhaps we should have an awareness month for ADHD awareness month.

I'm just saying most keyboard problems can be solved with "more keyboard" 😛

Then it sounds like you need a 96%

Have you considered a 60% layout keyb?

What I always want from apps like Focus Friend (and what they rarely ever have) is something like a "stopwatch mode" that counts up instead of down. Timers don't work for my brain, but I want the bean to knit socks!

Reverse scope creep is when you start the summer with lofty ambitions of rewriting this textbook, and by the end of it you settle for some line edits and rearranging a few chapters.

Worldcon in general seems to be such a mess this year, but even just this panel has so many LAYERS of terribleness to it

Aristotle is like garlic: whatever amount you've put into the dish (chapter), you need to add more of it.
