It's a little bewildering trying to figure out who I am after the divorce. My diet has gone to shit and I'm afraid to step on the bathroom scale but I've unleashed my creative side to do quite a few art projects recently. It hasn't been all bad.

I know it's time to write another novel but I'm scared to take on a project that big so I'm procrastinating.

We try on a pair of shoes before we buy them. We try on coats and jackets and pants. Why don't we get to try out canes?

 

Using Firefox with ridonkulous levels of magnification, no screen reader. These are my first impressions of rblind.com

If I zoom in enough to make the text readable the side bar disappears. Same problem as Reddit.

The text lines are too long for me, I wish they were either broken into columns like the Bible or just in narrower blocks. I lose track of where I am in the message, sometimes rereading a line and sometimes skipping one. My field of vision is small enough it's hard to find the next line to read.

There's something uncomfortable about the text. Not sure if it's the font, the bright, stark white I'm seeing in dark mode, or the fact my eyes are really working overtime because it's so small. Can't really describe it but it's slightly painful to read.

There's no icon on the open tab. It makes finding this tab harder when multiple tabs are open.

I don't like having to scroll down two pages worth of stuff to find the CREATE button to submit this post, and I echo D. Hamlin's complaint about having to select a language before I post this. I really hope we don't have to do that every time we post or comment.

When I write rblind.com it doesn't appear as a clickable hyperlink in this window but it does when I click PREVIEW. We'll find out when I post this if it converts into one by itself or if I have to manually add the link.

The PREVIEW button doesn't change when clicked. It's hard to tell if I'm in preview mode or not. That may be a dark mode issue, I'm not sure.

Make up your mind, Dude. Do you want liberty or do you want a taco?

That's one small test for man, one giant leap for mankind
