I'm starting to wonder if the underlying theme of most diversity is at it's core high sensitivity.

It appears even more so when turning things around from current mainstream behaviour and considering that (high) sensitivity is how all humans start (as babies), and how that appears to be unlearned instead of kept for later life.

Which leads me to my most recent theory for the current state of the world: too many highly insensitive people telling others what to do.

Just a heads-up: my light #historicalfiction THE PLAYERS ACT 1: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE is available for 99p (e-book) until 16th January.

It's about a down-on-their luck company of strolling players who have one last chance to save their theatre company.

Expect: #neurodiversity #LGBTQ #FoundFamily #ComedyAndTragedy #Shakespeare
and mischief and merriment.

If this sounds like your cup of tea/tankard of ale please check it out. Thank you!

Accessibility is a FOSS value. ♿️

You might ask why I advocate for #OpenSource so fiercely as a disabled creator. It is simple, proprietary software is a black box. If it doesn't work for your needs, you're stuck.

With #FOSS, the community can adapt, fork, and improve tools for everyone. Freedom isn't just for power users, it is for accessibility.

For instance, there is BRLTTY, which provides access to the Linux console for people who use a refreshable Braille display.

But people naturally think of physical disabilities when they consider accessibility. We also need tools for cognitive load and distraction. Tools like Logseq allow you to link thoughts non-linearly, making it easier to track projects when your brain feels scattered. Even the stability of Debian can be an accessibility tool for those of us who find the constant breaking changes of other OSs anxiety-inducing.

What is one FOSS tool that makes your life easier? ♿️ 🏳️‍🌈
