Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students

Steve Harvey is the only host of anything that I can appreciate

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

chronicallyjenni 7 Everyday Hacks You Wouldn’t Have Without Disabled People!

You know the little ramp at the end of a pavement? That’s called a curb cut; made for wheelchair users. But now used by parents with buggies, cyclists, people with suitcases and more.

That’s the curb cut effect: when access for disabled people ends up helping everyone.

1. Electric Toothbrush

Originally designed for people with limited grip or coordination, now everyone uses them.

2. Ramps

Built for wheelchair access, but perfect for buggies, bikes and suitcases too.

3. Text-to-Speech & Voice Assistants

Created for blind people and those who struggle with mobility, now it’s how half of us set timers.

4. Velcro

This stuff was used in disability care settings long before it hit trainers and schoolbags.

5. Audiobooks

Originally made for blind readers, now a go-to for multitasking or rest. It's one of my favourite pastimes!

6. Touchless & Automatic Doors

Again made for accessibility but now essential in supermarkets, airports and hospitals.

7. Subtitles & Captions

Originally for Deaf and hard of hearing people, now everyone uses them, on the train, at night, or just to focus better.

Disability drives innovation. Accessibility helps everyone. So next time you use one of these, remember where it came from. Be sure to share this so more people realise the impact disability has on their lives.

Video Description: Jenni, a white disabled woman with auburn hair and using a manual wheelchair, shows 7 everyday hacks we wouldn’t have without disabled people, including the electric toothbrush, kerb ramps, voice assistants, Velcro, audiobooks, automatic doors and captions. These are all examples of the curb cut effect: access tools designed by or for disabled people that now benefit everyone.

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️
