Victory Amps, which is based in the UK, started researching accessibility when they were building a customised amplifier for guitarist, and social-media personality, Anthony Ferraro.

He had reached out, asking if he could try an amplifier in their existing lineup, but Victory wanted to build him an amp that was entirely accessible.

They released a statement that said:

“We researched accessibility in musical equipment and were shocked by how little existed – especially in guitar amplification. So, we learned braille standards, spacing rules and dot heights, developed a custom embossing process, and rebuilt the front and rear panels of the Duchess MKII V40 so every control could be understood by touch alone – without compromising tone, feel or design.”

They sent the customised amplifier to Anthony, along with a letter in braille that explained what they had done.

Yesterday they announced that braille panel options will be available to everyone at no extra cost. They will also be donating a portion of each sale to a “UK registered blind charity chosen by Anthony.”

This frame actually actually makes me want to rip my heart out holy shit.

Was it casual when i literally carried your soul in my body and once you got it back you walk straight towards my best friend and you barely even look at me?

"We’re told we’re exhausted because we’re doing too much. But most people aren’t doing too much. They’re taking in too much.

Content. Opinions. Noise. Stimulation. Advice. Outrage. Entertainment. All intake. No release.

Humans were never built to live this way. For most of history, energy moved through the body every day. People made things. Songs, tools, stories, meals, rituals, shelters. Creation wasn’t a hobby or an identity. It was how the nervous system stayed sane.

Now we call it rest when nothing leaves us. We scroll. We watch. We consume. And then we wonder why we feel weird, anxious, inflamed, dull, restless, depressed, or strangely empty even when life looks 'easy'.

Energy has to go somewhere."

So fucking real oh my god

It bothers me so much that the healthcare system relies so much on the patient's ability to advocate for themselves, organize their history, and be so persistent against every medical “professional” who says there’s nothing wrong/they can do. But so many struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and face such ingrained systemic barriers, that the people who need and deserve help and support can’t access it.

I saw something recently that resonated with me: “Access shouldn't depend on who has the energy to fight for it.” And I’ve never agreed with anything more.

To the Gods lost to time

We may have no way of knowing your name, but we do know you. We know you existed.

We may have no way of knowing what purpose you served in your pantheon, but we appreciate the work that you did, and the work you continue to do.

You may be older than what we think of as the first civilizations, you may be older than evolution, but thank you for being with our ancestors.

Thank you for holding their hands, teaching them how to hunt, which plants were edible, how to walk, how to develop.

It's because of you that humanity exists in the way we know today.

I'm sorry you've been lost to time.

tangential to last reblogged post, one of the single biggest things you can do as an adult to improve communication between you and children and increase their overall ease in ANY situation is to allow them to express emotions to you without minimizing it. it can be very very tempting to bust out 'it won't be so bad' when a kid is afraid of something or a 'you'll see them again soon' when a kid is homesick but i promise you, i PROMISE you that the kid will be better served by a "that DOES sound really scary" or a "you look like you feel REALLY sad that mom is gone". you will not escalate things by bringing further attention to the hard emotions, because things escalate when a kids reality is denied by those with power over them.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

looked up Heidi because I'm a journalist

for reasons I can't imagine this publisher of sexless Alaska love stories is averaging under 20 likes each on posts about her books, so if I can be so honest I kind of have my doubts that her books are getting read even with the excessive use of generous lending policies

[ariaste]

Also her claim that authors are not getting paid per borrow is.... wrong. With ebooks (which is what she's talking about here with Libby) there are two forms of licensing for libraries to lend out ebooks.

The first kind is that they buy a license for a pre-determined amount of check-outs. I'll just make some numbers up for the sake of illustrating what that looks like: Let's say $20 for 20 borrows. When the ebook has been checked out 20 times, the library has to renew the license and pay more money in order to continue lending out the ebook. The author gets a cut of that $20 as their royalties.

The second kind is literally paying per borrow. (Again just making up numbers here) Let's say the library pays 50 cents every time the book is checked out. The author still gets a cut as their royalties. Is it just 10 or 20 cents per borrow? Yes, but that adds up! AND it means that people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to read my book at all are able to read it, which is great! AND it means that the library is thriving and being used, which is also great!

So yes, authors DO get paid from library activity!!!!!!

Do not feel guilty for using the library. I don't know one single author (except this Little Miss Ma'am in the screenshots, apparently) who would resent their readers for using libraries.

school uniform codes extending to what colours you’re allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and you’re not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????

[at-the-end-of-all]

“oh it’s to prepare you for the workplace” okay. i don’t think any workplace should be dictating what you can and can’t do with your body either and i think it’s strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own

#okay maybe im dumb but why is that illegal???

You need a liquor license to be able to sell alcohol. You can't just set up in a public park and start selling booze. Whether you're selling from a brick and mortar store or a vendor stand at an event (like say a 4th of July event), you/the establishment needs to get a license for selling the stuff.

it feels obvious now that you mention that 🤦‍♀️
