Ok I’m doing it the cheesy thing people do to try and find people… I wish there was a better way to find people that you connect with on other apps.

Where are my #UK #Disable / #ChronicIllness and/Or #Neurodivergent people?!

Is there a way to use an iPhone app to view the rate of charge a iPhone is charging at?

I have multiple cables I’ve muddled up I’m trying to work out which one is the ‘fast charge’ cable.

There must be a way to get this data on an iPhone!? #BatteryHealth

I had such a bad night sleep last night I had about 3-4 hours and I can’t function on that little sleep.

I was walking around like a drunk first thing this morning because my PoTS was so bad I’ve lost cont of the high HR alerts my watch has given me today!

I’ve completed #DoomTheDarkAges on the easiest setting for campaign and I don’t know what I’m going to my life now… EPIC game! #BlindGamer

So I accidentally shot a lot of footage walking around Amsterdam yesterday in #8k resolution… I don’t even think I have anything capable of outputting 8k!

Here’s my question: I have a #Mac is there a free way to downgrade the footage to 4k (or possibly lower)?

I don’t have #FinalCutPro

IMHO falling over in a bar when you are not drunk is far worse than falling over when you ARE drunk because, everyone thinks you’re drunk! #DisabledSky #Disabled #Blind #hEDS

Just sliced my BEST #braille finger on the metal part of a coat hanger and feel like I should get more pip until it heals!

Yes I can read braille with one other finger but it’s literally my best one!

I worked hard today!

I also learned that if all the speakers at a train station are broken there is no way to know if the train that just pulled up is in fact YOUR train IF you are BLIND!

3-4 missed trains later they sent a human to help me.

Part of it was my fault 1/

It’s dawning on me that I have to go to town tomorrow in the school holidays so I’m going to take my cane that shouts* aggressively at people!

*ok it does not actually shout but it beeps loud! I think it’s my favourite feature 😂

So frustrating hoped to go to Hove at the WE but busses are replacing trains (not a dealbreaker) but the station busses are transferring people to has broken lifts that are out of order! (Yep there it is).

Whose idea was that? What if #Disabled people want to travel this weekend?

#Bug with @bsky.app if your using Apple dynamic fonts to write image descriptions in the #AltText box on iOS app you can’t actually hit the button to save/confirm because the keyboard is covering it… #Accessibility

Wow the artwork and skill that has gone into #AssassinsCreedShadows is incredible and I know because I’m a #BlindGamer I won’t be seeing all the detail (so I used an AI to do the image description).

Spontaneous booth interviews are always fun.

There were some great minds at GDC and I learned so much from the none stop 5-55 minute conversations throughout the week.
