I'm collating these in case any mention practical support groups who might help someone. Even a few hours' carer respite a week might be good.

"Fairphone’s progress on core impact strategies, page 21.
Under the header "Levels of circularity: 8 R’s" are 3 shaded areas pointing to "KPI 2", "KPI 3", then "KPI 3 + 4". A banded arrow along the left bridges these areas, pointing upward. Its label is "Order of Priority" from "Low" to "High".

These point to KPI 2.
Refuse: prevent raw materials use.
Rethink: redesign product in view of circularity.

These point to KPI 3.
Reduce: decrease raw materials use.
Repair: maintain and repair product.
Refurbish: revive product.
Remanufacture: make new product from second hand.
Repurpose: re-use product but with other function.

This points to KPI 3 + 4.
Recycle: salvage material streams with highest possible value.

Why is Obsidian's default font so tiny and low contrast? I can't fucking read it. This is torture. String up them louts who follow not the code!

If you're an incel coder, make your text bigger, your glyphs more distinct, your icons relevant (use icons at all? Banded lines help too), and your help docs USEFUL.

THAT's how your dreams come true. Help others to help you. Or more crassly:
get bitches on your dick, bastards on your clit, fuckers on your butt, kissers on your lips, cake on your plate, and / or whatever your gay af heart desires. Just LET ME READ YOUR FUCKING TEXT.

I saw an opportunity and did a thing. ... Huh. Or maybe it's the "everything else" green triangle: centred but unspecified?

There's a reason I want an OmniMask.

But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.

I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)

Jfc I got a lot of mileage out of one goddamn screenshot but hey!
My b/Blind and vision-impaired or sight-loss fellows shall feast tonight!

… If any of you care about niche multi-layered terminology for humorous agenerational interconnective co-created commentary on base genuine media, surprises, commentary, and intersections of such!

You goddamn linguistic nerds!!

Ooh, I feel like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHGbCyAqOU is structurally related.
OMG. THAT’S HOW ADHD BRAINS CONNECT IDEAS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKGUgOfD8U

AuHD or AudHD (urgh, I hate that initialism) people connect ideas by their structural relevance (and personal ascription of importance).
And, apparently, Neurotypical, neuro default, or neuro expected people connect ideas by narrative relevance! And, frankly, also how much importance they ascribe to the narrative, topic, or relevance.

Omg I’m an edu blogger?! This is like finding out that non-binary gender was an option! Holy shit.
