I taught blind high school for nearly a decade.
To begin with, it was all BrailleNote. Apex early on, then touch, then touch plus. Humanware are very good in the UK at capturing the primary/elementary school market, and my boss decided they should stick with what they knew.
Then we saw a growing number of parents and older students with the, if VoiceOver is so good on the phone a mac is the best option motif.
And the year I left, there were a growing number of iPad pro devices in circulation. Again, all the benefits of VoiceOver with a keyboard, lightweight laptop essentialy, they said.
Kind of crazy that a 1913 Puck cartoon is almost 100% relevant to day.
I'd just delete the word "reassuring".
Can we please retire the myth that there is “no engagement” in the Fediverse?
Exhibit A: this badge from #Ivory showing the activity in my account over the past 22 hours — 344 notifications (likes, boosts, follows, replies).
I was on Twitter 1.0 for 14 years, had 4x as many followers on my personal account and never ever had these many interactions. Why?
The damn Big Tech algorithms penalizing my posts whenever I shared links.
I LOVE the Fediverse and its chronological feeds ❤️
I remember exactly the "revelation" in 2020, when I had on Mastodon (account of a few months) half the followers of Twitter (account of 10 years) and yet I had double the interactions and even more reactions...
Commercial social media is a pyramid scheme based on the supposed visibility

In 1945, the US War Department realized that its soldiers stationed in Europe fighting the Nazis probably needed a good pamphlet explaining what fascism was, and how it occurs ...
... so they wrote one
and in it, they noted that America was not at all immune to this
So they explained how fascism would come to the US
Heather Cox Richardson writes about it in the latest edition of her newsletter: heathercoxrichardson.substack.…

Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
"And I remember being younger and my mother told me true. Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you. Take heed when things get hard and don't you ever turn around. Cause you’ll find someone, someday, somewhere, that grows you to the clouds."

The biggest winner in this #election has been #oligarchy. #Oligarchs came out openly against #democracy and used every trick in the book to divide the American people against one another so they can rule us more directly than they have ever done in the modern era. They control #CorporateMedia and they will now strengthen their control in DC.
We have been on the road to oligarchy for a long time, and 11/5/24 will be as big a milestone on it as 1/21/10 when the Citizens United ruling was issued.
Hey, cis folks? And especially men? If you want some low effort trans ally actions you can take, put your pronouns everywhere.
Like, everywhere.
On here, in your profile. On your other social media. On your own website. On your GitHub profile. On your resume. In your email ‘From:' header. Your email signature. Your business cards, if you have those.
Basically everywhere you introduce yourself, in other words. Make it pervasive, normal, set an example.
Then take your privilege, wield it like both sword and shield, arguing for gender neutral language everywhere you can. Legal documents, the works.
Let us see you fight for it ✊🏻
