For anyone that can't afford a windows computer, try Emmabuntüs.

It was designed to run on computers that can no longer support windows, like my laptop 😬. It's development was assisted by the Togolese Federation of Disabled People’s Association with blind students in mind.

If you know anyone that may need, or just want, an accessible Linux, please share to get the word out and to put a spotlight on accessibility programming. ❤️

Hey, a blind, trans, first-gen USian friend of mine needs money to move out of Florida and to buy glasses that let them see a little bit.

#Blind people's glasses are expensive. Theirs will cost $1300.

On top of the costs to move to Seattle to be with their partner, this has left my pal really despairing.

I'm one of the people who's encouraged them to set up the gfm, so I'd really love to see it do well.

Friend just lost their job, right after buying a new house, and because they're on a visa they have 90 days to find another job or get deported.

If anyone has any leads on software product/partner/customer management jobs in London, please send them my way.

Your moment of zen.

Well. The goat version of zen.

A friend sent me this interesting article, and yes, I’ve experienced things like that myself during my career.

I left #gaza & left my family behind, enduring the same conditions. I look at how easy life is here, & I think about how difficult it must be for them right now. There’s no one to help them but me; doing everything in my power to ensure, at the very least, they enjoy their right to live a decent life.
I've been busy with my evacuation that I couldn't find the time to post appeals for my family. They need me & you more than ever. Pls donate & boost

Common, but impressive with a 9cm wingspan in flight and the cutest of cute Muppet-like fuzzy face.
