@stephaniewalter great read 🙂 and finally some recognition for folks with cold hands like myself 🥶. In all seriousness, people need to shift their thinking about accessibility: it's not a practice for making products better for a small group of people, but for literally everybody.

I really internalized this when I had wrists pains and had to navigate with my nondominat hand for a while.
