Autism does define me.
Not a limitation, but an explanation.
I am different, think different, act different. I have different needs and different reactions.
Dont limit me, I know my own limits.
I am autistic.
Accept diversity.

Pain of an unemployed person:
• You wake up late, but still feel tired
• Every day feels the same
• You apply for jobs daily, no replies
• Money feels tight all the time
• You feel guilty even while resting
• Confidence slowly goes down
• You start doubting yourself
• Skills are there, opportunity is not
• Nights are full of overthinking
• You feel stuck and helpless
• You are trying, but no one sees it
Being unemployed is not laziness.
It’s mental pressure no one understands 😔.
A wave of manic energy in December had me put together a long deck called "HarfBuzz at 20! " , celebrating 20 years of HarfBuzz. 🎂
I designed the deck to be presented at the #WebEnginesHackfest later this year. Then reality hit that I cannot present this deck in any sane amount of time.
Inspired by all the great presentations coming out of #FOSDEM today, I decided that instead of tossing the deck out, I just put it out here to be read by the curious. I will present a highly condensed version at the hackfest in June.
Let me know what you think. 🙏

"But Wikipedia cannot survive by refusing to change. Ostrom’s Nobel prize-winning research reminds us that the communities that govern shared resources often grow conservative over time.
"For anyone who cares about the future of reliable information online, Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary is not just a celebration. It is an urgent warning about what happens when the institutions we depend on cannot adapt to the people they are meant to serve."

This week I learned, from a blind acquaintance here, that when we write in ALL CAPS in alt text, their screenreader reads it all out, *one letter at a time*.
Totally defeating the point of alt text making things accessible, right?
Needless to say, I've stopped.
Well, LOL remains LOL, of course!
