I am a partially sighted blind person. My cane helps me move through and explore the physical world while screen readers and other assistive tech help me do the same with all things cyber. I also tend to have very little confidence that the Powers That Be really know what is best for me.

Good luck

  • Cold beer or glass of wine and music…sometimes listening or, when really stressed, playing piano or guitar while singing, all badly I must admit…and the singing usually requires more than one adult beverage.

    Music is really a part of everything in my life really. I use it to:

    • Wake up
    • Get energized
    • Relax
    • Express my mood
    • Concentrate
    • Distract myself
    • Fall asleep

    If I am not playing it I am listening to it. If I am not listening to it it’s playing in my head





  • we are not redditors anymore, we don’t belong there

    This is something that became very clear to me when I made the mistake of going back for a visit yesterday and found a lot of that “fear, derision, doubt, apathy” in one of the last places I expected to find it. It was heartbreaking but did make it clear that we (or, at least, I) really do not belong there anymore.

    It is time to help build something new.
