YOU FOLKS ROCK!

[jeshyr]

I just want to tell the whole world that I love my friends!

I am reading through my reading-list journals today and in the last few days worth of journal entries and other posts I've seen:

• Spoiler/trigger warnings and cut-tags for multiple different potentially-triggery topics


• Multiple people acknowledging (implicitly or explicitly) that somebody's identity doesn't necessarily match the body they're born into (in terms of sex/gender, name, etc.)


• Multiple people explicitly stating that certain things are their own opinion and that they understand other peoples' opinions will differ.


• Textual descriptions of images used in significant ways.


• User-added transcripts of included non-captioned video.

So yeah, you guys rock. Totally.

Nobody's ever perfect about recognising and acknowledging privilege, being accessible, making sure their language expresses exactly and only what they mean, or any of the other stuff but seeing people doing their best with all that stuff .... wow. It matters a lot to me that I hang around people who think this is a goal worth shooting for!

I was just sitting here being impressed. So yeah, you folks rock. Thank you for being you!!

:) Yeah, our DW circles are pretty awesome that way.

I doubt I'd have cut-tagged if I hadn't been posting on DW/LJ ;-p

Right at the bottom of the other reply from me - is a series of words above 'phone call' that say "in the year to April"

that should not be there! What happened was I put Dragon to sleep mode and at some point in my phone conversation with someone wishing me Happy Birthday but not coming to Event - I must have said "wake up" and Dragon did just that - typing a huge amount of words into this here 'box' - I thought I deleted it all but...

I am typing this by hand - not using Dragon "the microphone is OFF"

Cathy, can't edit any commentns but can delete so I did that on the assumption that you wouldn't want your private stuff left on my blog! If you want to repost the bit you want to please feel free. I got confused about which bit you meant me to leave. But I did happily read it - thank you!!

Totally :)

Well, hidden-in-some-way more generally, I guess!!
