"Give it to me straight, doctor."

"I'm afraid you have a serious case of left-handedness."

"It is treatable?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Brain surgery. We will have to flip your brain around."

(I'm left-handed, btw.)

Smashing Magazine: Designing Better UX For Left-Handed People. “Today, roughly 10% of people are left-handed. Yet most products — digital and physical — aren’t designed with it in mind. Let’s change that. More design patterns in Smart Interface Design Patterns, a friendly video course on UX and design patterns by Vitaly.”

#Lefthanders in the #UnitedStates make up 12% of the population today, nearly triple the 3.5% reported in 1900. What caused this dramatic increase, and is it likely to continue?

Hey left-handers!

I'm the founder of Esquerdinos, a soon-to-be clothing brand celebrating our unique community.

This is where I plan to document that journey.

This Mastodon space will document our journey, sharing the highs and the inevitable challenges. I know the odds aren’t always in our favor, but that’s never stopped us before, right?

A designer coffee cup at an event with a curved handle. Because fuck left-handed people, that‘s why!

At least the coffee is good!

I only just barely remember being at school (before my mother pulled me out of that shit), and aside from teachers enabling bullying, talking over me, screaming at me, dragging me around the classroom and ripping my clothes, or just hitting me, one thing they also did before any of that was try forcing me to be strictly right-handed. It didn't take. But some form of ambidexterity did develop. It's weird. I can only write and draw with my left hand. But when it came to sports I would, for example, play tennis with my right hand, pool with my left, and soccer with both feet (though that was more my dad's encouragement - and I initially favoured my right foot by far!) #LeftHanded #LeftHandedness #lefty #leftist

tl;dr: Es spricht nichts dagegen, rechtshändig zu spielen, wenn jmd. sonst viel mit der linken Hand macht, sich aber das Spielen richtig anfühlt.

Aber es ist anmaßend, Menschen die neu (mit bsplw. einem Zupfinstrument) starten, gleich das rechtshändige Spielen als die bessere Variante hinzustellen.

Besonders, wenn du selbst nicht weißt, wie es ist, linkshändig durchs Leben zu gehen. Stop it.

Another Crappy Bible Story; this time with reflection on the violence and morally dubious lessons from the Hebrew Bible. Left-handers might find this one particularly interesting. 🫱

Crappy Bible Stories, Part 2: 'The Dirt Came Out'

Not all the pages in the Bible are gold-edged. People who only expect the Bible to be heart-warming stories of good and holy people are in for a shock when they read beyond the 'Greatest Hits' stories. And nowhere is that more obvious than in the Book of Judges. Many of the characters in that book are deeply flawed people. Some of them do some pretty reprehensible things. All in all, it's a rather bleak book. There's more I could say to redeem it, but Judges brings us our next 'Crappy Bible Stor

@adb That‘s the one. 😆 I think there are also the ones with narrow handles, but I can‘t seem to find them online at a shop in the EU.
Ah well. They seem to be really good quality, so the price seems right.
