2024
🧞🧞🧞 I actually had someone thank me for sharing my pronouns with her yesterday. Of all possible reactions, I did not expect that. Ever.
But it was a good thing to have happen.
🍃 One fun thing about Minnesota is weed is legal for recreation use. I was able to walk into Hi Flora and order a THC drink just like ordering a mix drink at a more traditional bar. I particularly enjoyed the Clarity coffee which combines high dose THC and caffiene for a wild ride.
I made this for my friends’ daughter who is raising money for her local dance team. Scan this QR code to be taken to Amelie’s Popcorn Page.
🧑🏼🦯 One of my favorite discoveries while on vacation is that in the city of Minneapolis, a lot of the intersections have audio pedestrian signals (more and more common), as well as Braille on the cross-walk buttons telling you which street the button is for. This turned out to be useful as I’d gotten separated from my group and ended up walking a few extra blocks.
📰 All checked in at the airport and the hotel. This is my first time traveling by air alone as a blind person, so here’s hoping everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
Here’s a post that details the new #A11y features coming to #iOS18.

😸 My Changeling needs your help. They’re going away for a few days and want to get me a water dispenser/automatic feeder. Are there any recommendations for accessible versions of these devices. Thanks.
💻It’s 2024. I should not, when my government name is common enough to make using these services difficult, have to have an iCloud, Gmail, or Yahoo dot com address to reset my password when the promotional and monthly bill emails come to my custom domain email address just fine. Requiring such things is an antiquated standard. For fuck’s sake!
🎶🎶 My #TongueDrum is arriving today. They sound so cool.
🍿 Now watching: Leprichaun (1992)
For fellow fans, the entire franchise is available on iTunes for $25 U.S.
I had my first RCS convo yesterday with a friend. Because they were a friend and my sense of them is they value their privacy, I felt it necessary to let them know their read receipts were on. If you find yourself in a similar situation with my friend or if you have a friend who values their privacy and may not be aware of this, I found the article below that explains how to turn this feature off.

Question: How many woods make a forest?
I have no idea, either!
💻 This year is the year I replace my #AppleWatch. Series10 with aluminum case, cellular connection and all the other cool features.
Scan the QR code now to watch what I’m watching.

I realized the other day that the password for Chime I have in 1Password is not correct. When I was unable to reset my password through their standard password reset, I wasn’t getting the final email I needed. Calling them got me someone who advised me to log out of the mobile app and try resetting my password that way. I let them know I wouldn’t be doing that as that was the only access I had to the account at this point. I still have no password reset email.
💻🎶Playing with the haptic feature of Apple Music in iOS18. Through the Fire and Flames by Dragon Force is the coolest experience I’ve had with it so far because of the fast rums and guitar and piano.
I love this idea.
