To everyone who gave me suggestions for Advent wreath saving, thank you very much! :D I managed to dig up some old stuff I had (e.g. wooden candles with detachable flames) and just sort of draped the branches into place and made it look semi-presentable. I'm really sorry for not responding to everyone; I seem to be running pretty low on social ( Read more... )

Accessibility for RPG games?

kazaera Nov 26, 2009 21:59

I found this post about accessibility in RPGs via the FWD link round-up, and it's made me think about disability and accessibility for RPGs for the first time. And, man. Epiphany ahoy.

Why I no longer read Feministing

So, yeah, there is this big imbroglio going on which I am currently too tired to sum up re: Feministing and disability issues. I am heavily invested in this because I have been a semi-regular commentator on Feministing for months (under the name Zailyn), and because I'm disabled and prefer the spaces I frequent to be reasonably up to speed when it ( Read more... )

I found the stuttering blogosphere yesterday, which is way cool. I thought I was the only one who'd ever had the thought of "the problem isn't with me, it's with the idiots who can't handle someone speaking a bit differently", and although there's still some posts where I feel like a freak for really honestly never having minded (I nowadays lean ( Read more... )

Empathy and sympathy

[Note: This is in the context of RaceFail '09, the great debate about racism and cultural appropriation in sf/f that ate fandom. If you haven't run into it yet, here's a good place to start and rydra_wong has ALL the links. I'm aware the amount of stuff there is is overwhelming (I mean, I am linking to a summary of summaries of the situation, jesus), but ( Read more... )

SO THE LONDON MERLIN MEETUP WAS ENTIRELY AWESOME.

I need to friend tons of people now...

On the downside, I have realised once again just how bloody annoying a speech disorder can be. >< >< I am not keeping up with my exercises, the therapy is not working nearly as well as it should (although still loads better than it was before), this kind of ( Read more... )
