Serious Q: is there a form of dyslexia or processing disorder that makes it hard to even see (words in parentheses) in a sentence? Because Lyricdancer just read a sentence with a parenthetical insertion four times out loud and skipped the parentheses every time, and then when I asked her to read all four words on the first line of text (the fourth being inside the parens) she read the three then paused for several seconds before going "oh!" and reading the fourth. She says she just couldn't see it, like gold dress/blue dress. Weird! #NeuroDivergent #NeuroScience #dyslexia

[Perfect image in original post that demonstrates how unreadable Liquid Glass in #Tahoe can be.]

Thank you for posting this! Blinding. Literally. I am mildly visually impaired (#dyslexia & old age). Until there is a transparency slider that can be set to 100% opaque (why doesn't that exist?), #Apple 26.x operating systems are no longer visually accessible. Worse, the read screen options fail to read some websites or just quit intermittently. Does Apple have anyone eating their own dog food (testing accessibility features) any more? I am sure the OS doesn't pass #ADA guidelines necessary for government contracts. Sheesh. So disappointed!

Gavin Newsom's responses to Trump's dyslexia bullying warms my heart.

I'm glad it is putting Newsom's challenges out there for public consumption. To give speeches he studies, he doesn't read a teleprompter. So he is unscripted, unlike most politicians.

What is really crazy? It is almost certain that Trump is dyslexic as well. Just untreated, undiagnosed.

great misreads. this time reading "citrus trees" as "circus trees" when surfing past an internet ad.

shared silliness. when the best comedy happens at home commenting on tv shows, anticipating ridiculous situations any of us are about to be dropped into, or just a superpotato that deserves a more distinguished destiny

proactive moment. doc scanned and tossed before 'stupid sh!t' gravity set in

A children's illustrator has been talking about how she hid her own dyslexia whilst making her book. The book has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration. She has admitted that working on a book about dyslexia has helped her to acknowledge her own difficulties. Dyslexia which involves difficulties with reading and writing can be very different for each person, but around 1 in 10 people have it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c626enjyv86o
