I think dark text on a light background is the main distinction that helps, though you wouldn't wanna do blue/yellow or red/green due to color blindness.

I think the issue with the font itself is that you're using a font designed for print media which is hard to read on a screen for folks with vision and reading related disabilities

Everyone should really just be adding a transcript regardless though, that way it doesn't matter. On Android, I use the OCR tool in the "Image Toolbox" app available on Fdroid (I'm guilty of not doing this myself often btw- I need to be better about it myself)

OP your font sucks butt (in the bad way) and as white text on a black background it is completely illegible to me. Please consider making your posts more accessible

Image transcription:

Yeah sure Tumblr is a hellsite but I know someone who wrote a fanfic in the 1990s that someone else didn’t like, so when she was selling printed copies of the zine with the story in it out of her hotel room at a convention, this other woman STOOD IN FRONT OF HER DOOR TO REFUSE PEOPLE ACCESS. Because the story featured a ship she disliked. And I feel like somehow, 10,000 Tumblrs still can’t compare to that level of Extra.
Your periodic reminder that the technology and the scale of distribution changes, the basic impulse to fandom wank does not

It didn't occur to me that the poll may function that way. Does it? I thought this was engagement bait in which the poll's author lists only wrong answers as options

In 7th grade, my class was doing an exercise in which you describe yourself using a list of adjectives starting with each letter in your name. My last name ends in the letter H, so I described myself with 11 grandiose adjectives, followed by "and most of all: Humble." I didn't get a single laugh, so I just ended up sounding like a narcissist

PEMDAS isn't obvious to "common people"? Why not? It doesn't seem like an arbitrary convention to me...

If "×" means "groups of," then "2+2×4" means "two plus two groups of four" which only makes sense, to me, to be read as "two plus two groups of four" rather than "two plus two groups of four"

Sure the order of operations could be arbitrarily different, but I feel like we settled on that order because it simply makes more sense intuitively.

I'm aware of the possibility that it only feels natural and intuitive to me because I was taught that way, but I at least don't think that applies to this specific example

"Therapy speak" is such a growing problem that it was included in a newsletter I just got about "Trends for therapists to look out for in 2026." It was #2 on the 6 item list

I used to be able to trust that when a new client says "my partner gaslights me" they meant they are literally being abused, but now I have to ask whether they're being hyperbolic or using that term colloquially, which risks invalidating their experience.

This is similar to how people going gluten free caused a headache for people with celiac disease. Yes, there have been benefits, like growing awareness and more options on the shelf, but it also led to celiac folks not being taken/treated seriously, which could be deadly.

LeatherHub... This is the same company that blew up on TikTok after the cancer scandal?? (For those who don't know, they were providing leather for a sex toy manufacturer, and it turned out their leather products were causing cancer due to chemicals leaching out of the leather)

You mentioned elsewhere that you'll be seeing someone about your TBI soon. However, if you're interested in exploring this stuff right now so I can help you advocate for yourself here on Lemmy, please feel free to DM me. I would like to help you craft a disclaimer to improve your experience here

Your reading comprehension has been impaired by your TBI. Are you aware that your reading comprehension is impaired? If you share what part of your brain is damaged, people can learn to communicate with you more effectively. Please tell us what part of your brain is damaged.

even if you were right [that being high as a kite, sleep deprivation, being psychotic, and having a TBI makes it hard to avoid using racial slurs] it'd be pretty fucking difficult to empathize with [getting banned for using racial slurs] in any way.

Hope this helps

Also, OP, please tell us what part(s) of your brain are damaged so we can accommodate you better. I previously assumed the left temporal lobe, but my new guess is the right temporo-parietal junction

Edit: Also, obviously a psychotic episode can make it hard to avoid using racial slurs. I'm not agreeing with the other commenter- just trying to help
