Someone forgot to tell me you're not supposed to be both a girl and a geek. But, even if someone had remembered, I'd still be both anyway.

While i know twitter accessibility has taken a hit, both Quinter and Mo-Tweet are still working fabulously for me. If/when they go away, fine. But, I won't be exiting on the assumption that they're to be disappearing, as many have. I'll wait until it becomes a reality.

If you were giddily singing along to Fastball’s hit “The Way” back in 1998, you probably didn't realize it was about an elderly Texas couple who headed out one night to attend a local fiddling festival and never came home.

@AudioBananas Yes, they do, but I can't get it shipped to korea.

Good lord! i cannot believe how difficult it is to find a quality USB stereo microphone adapter. Everything is mono input. You'd think, with all the itnerest in vlogging, ASMR, VR, etc, this would be a more common thing. Recommendations extremely welcome!

Interesting how many people want to spout off on podcast shows regarding features of various products, when they haven't yet seen them, and/or discussed such features with the companies themselves. Seems similar to complaining about being fat but not dieting or exercising.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

This is definitely one solution. Anyone have any other rather painless ideas for continuing to follow my various Twitter news?

As 3rd-party Twitter clients are soon to be in the rear view mirror, I've searched for a way to easily generate RSS feeds of Twitter accounts. Enter: OpenRss https://t.co/SPeoKLDsuF

This one may not be quite so universal, possibly most recognizable to English majors, but rather creatively appropriate as well.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

I've been waiting for someone to say this just right. Well done.

Oh snap! Here are 90 facts about the '90s. https://t.co/BO9jNqkEw2

Would someone please tell me why every single freaking blindness forum has to turn in to a complaint fest about what is wrong with the world, users' personal circumstances, etc? Is it really so impossible to civilly and maturely discuss the topic for which the list was created?

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

Haha, love it!

Apple recently caused a lot of excitement when it unveiled the #DynamicIsland feature for its iPhone 14 Pro devices. And now it's come to #Android (sort of). https://t.co/6nkLxF2tvW

Your car is German. Your pizza is Italian. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies American. Your shirt is Indian. Your electronic Chinese. Your numbers Arabic. Your letters are Latin. And you complain your neighbor is an immigrant! Pull yourself together.

Umm... interesting?? Gross?? just plain strange??? Yes, all of those....

The morning of Friday, March 3, 1876, dawned sunny and cloudless over Olympian Springs in northeastern Kentucky. Then, shortly before noon, something unexpected started tumbling from the skies.

@doug_lee42 @aaron_h2002 @remixman I assure you, both are true. Not always great about clarifying my points on Twitter, but when I suggested standards, I wasn't just meaning the standard of how "Braille" is rendered, but general English language standards.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

It's been standard practice in America to cap Braille for as long as I've seen it written, so good luck with that "braille" Institute. Having said that, quite sure, since it's named for mr. Braille's proper name, it is in fact, correct to capitalize it.

[Scott Blanks, [email protected] @blindconfucius]

Did you know? I value the opinion of #blind people themselves over a nonprofit. If you want to cap Braille ( 🙋‍♂️) so be it. If you're more of a braille kinda person, go right ahead. But don't tell people like it's an immutable fact.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

@aaron_h2002 @remixman Well, i can accept that much more readily than "People should be able to do whatever they want". However, it could be argued that "American Sign Language" isn't a proper noun either, and yet it is always capped. And most medical methods and instruments named for humans are also.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

@remixman @aaron_h2002 I do think it follows general rules both in terms of proper names and standard capitalization of most language and communication methods. And, I will always do it for that reason. If you don't want to, that's fine. But do or don't based on reasonable conclusions.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

@aaron_h2002 Sorry, I did mention proper name grammar, and I stand by that. But, it's really not worth arguing over. The other thing I would say is, if you're going to make a statement like "people should be able to do it how they want", you really ought to have reasoning to back that up.

[Jenny Axler @jaxler]

@aaron_h2002 I don't believe I did, I just stated what is standard. And, whether it is right or wrong, it is, in fact, rather standard. So, chill out please.
