Ok Iโ€™m doing it the cheesy thing people do to try and find peopleโ€ฆ I wish there was a better way to find people that you connect with on other apps.

Where are my #UK #Disable / #ChronicIllness and/Or #Neurodivergent people?!

Is there a way to use an iPhone app to view the rate of charge a iPhone is charging at?

I have multiple cables Iโ€™ve muddled up Iโ€™m trying to work out which one is the โ€˜fast chargeโ€™ cable.

There must be a way to get this data on an iPhone!? #BatteryHealth

I had such a bad night sleep last night I had about 3-4 hours and I canโ€™t function on that little sleep.

I was walking around like a drunk first thing this morning because my PoTS was so bad Iโ€™ve lost cont of the high HR alerts my watch has given me today!

So I accidentally shot a lot of footage walking around Amsterdam yesterday in #8k resolutionโ€ฆ I donโ€™t even think I have anything capable of outputting 8k!

Hereโ€™s my question: I have a #Mac is there a free way to downgrade the footage to 4k (or possibly lower)?

I donโ€™t have #FinalCutPro

IMHO falling over in a bar when you are not drunk is far worse than falling over when you ARE drunk because, everyone thinks youโ€™re drunk! #DisabledSky #Disabled #Blind #hEDS

Just sliced my BEST #braille finger on the metal part of a coat hanger and feel like I should get more pip until it heals!

Yes I can read braille with one other finger but itโ€™s literally my best one!

I worked hard today!

I also learned that if all the speakers at a train station are broken there is no way to know if the train that just pulled up is in fact YOUR train IF you are BLIND!

3-4 missed trains later they sent a human to help me.

Part of it was my fault 1/

You can set it so it just vibrates but why would you when you could loudly beep at people!

So frustrating hoped to go to Hove at the WE but busses are replacing trains (not a dealbreaker) but the station busses are transferring people to has broken lifts that are out of order! (Yep there it is).

Whose idea was that? What if #Disabled people want to travel this weekend?

A scenic view of a lush, mountainous forest landscape during autumn. The terrain features rolling hills covered in dense trees, displaying a mix of green, orange, and brown foliage. A lone figure stands on a prominent tree branch in the foreground, overlooking the expansive valley below. The scene includes a few small clearings and structures scattered among the trees, with visible pathways winding through the forest. The atmosphere is serene, with a soft blue haze in the distance enhancing the depth of the view.

Wow the artwork and skill that has gone into #AssassinsCreedShadows is incredible and I know because Iโ€™m a #BlindGamer I wonโ€™t be seeing all the detail (so I used an AI to do the image description).

Spontaneous booth interviews are always fun.

Very pleased to say I'm credited as an #accessibility consultant on #Atomfall!
Though the game isn't playable without sighted assistance, seeing it launch with audio aim cues and NPC sounds letting you tell friend from foe is a wonderful feeling.
