Re: frustrated with blindness (read post if you want context)
Let's not forget that blind schools seem to have trouble discouraging some of the really silly "blindisms" that make it harder for us to make it in the outside world. There was a drama thread not so long ago where communication came up, and I think this counts to some extent.
Canlorn, I'm with you for the most part. Blind folks either criticize the snot out of fucking everything or, more commonly, they fawn when something is 65% accessible instead of the formerly 40% accessible that it used to be. It's good to recognize meaningful progress, but it's more important, I think, to keep pushing for more When my college's web portal wasn't screenreader-friendly at first, I told them right away. They worked on it. When they asked how the updates were, I said, in essence, "Good, a bunch more stuff works now. But here's a list of seven things that don't. I personally only need three of them, but other blind folks will need more". I don't know if all seven were eventually addressed, but the point was that I acknowledged that they were moving but asked them to keep going.
