i’ve stopped trash talking comic sans after learning the font is actually one of the only dyslexia-friendly fonts that come standard with most computers and i advocate for others doing the same
In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans, other dyslexia-friendly alternatives include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic and Trebuchet.
thank
Random fact: Verdana is one of the few fonts which was specifically designed to be as easy to read as possible, even at smaller type sizes. It was designed this way for use on screen, but the same principles apply in print too. This is part of why some Universities use Verdana as their default font for documents.
“In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans” is one of the best things I’ve ever read on this website
Century Gothic and Trebuchet are both quite handsome typefaces.
I’m partial to Century Gothic as well. It’s serif, but not boring.
There’s also a dyslexic font designed especially for dyslexic people to read.
You can install on your tablets, laptops and browers etc, so not only can you change things like documents into it, you can change websites into that font as well!
I’m sure you’re bright enough to do a google search, but since I’m dumb enough to forget to post a link, here it is. Better late than never
I default to arial for this reason, but I will now be defaulting to verdana or dyslexie. nice.
I don’t think I have dyslexia but that dyslexie font was the easiest fucking thing to read ever. Books should be written in that shit.
ALSO!!!
For computer reading, when you mix up lines of text, there’s a web browser app called Beeline Reader. It looks like this
The colors are also customizable, to an extent and while I don’t have dyslexia, I have adhd which makes reading large amounts of text harder and this helps A LOT.
This is dope. I freaking love how much more accessible this information is nowadays.
for our dyslexic ravens.
Literally the only thing I was able to read correctly were the two photos showing how and why they worked-
“Here’s the full Digimon movie, without any weird edits or anything! 😀 this was randomly recommended to me. I’m surprised it wasn’t striked for copyright yet.”
oh cool! i was never really into digimon but if anyone else here was, here’s the full movie for you!
The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
I FEEL CALLED OUT
Never lose a perfect shower line again.*
*Remember to erase promptly if you share a bathroom with anyone.
I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis
WHAT
Also these handy little guys if you prefer a notepad:
Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.
Oh my GOD no one told me these existed
Also
God fucking bless the people who made these
Going back into the shower (you don’t need to turn it on) can be enough to retrieve the memory
Our brains refresh every time we go through a doorway. It packs away the data from the room we left so it can load up the floor plan of the room we’re going into. If you go back to the room where you had the thought your brain will often unpack the memory when it’s loading up the floor plan
Wait- is THAT why we remember what we were about to do when we leave the room we walked into then forgot why??
i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster
we all need to practice saying “I hadn’t thought of it like that” “I hadn’t seen it that way before” “I must have misunderstood the first time I heard about it” “if I had known those facts I wouldn’t have thought like I did”
Can I just say I really love @feminismandhappiness‘s addition, because for those of us who grew up being valued for our intelligence, it’s really okay if admitting you were wrong is difficult, and learning to approach it in a different way can be really helpful! Here are some other ways that might be easier to digest, for those of us who have trouble with the whole “I was wrong” thing.
“Thank you for giving me more context!”
“That makes a lot more sense now.”
“I really appreciate the additional information on this subject.”
“Your perspective is really helping me understand this better.”
“I’m going to do some more research now that I realize how complex this issue really is.”
“I didn’t realize how much information was left out when I was taught about this the first time.”
“I see that my opinion was being deliberately guided in one specific direction. Thank you for helping me realize that.”
“This was way over-simplified when I first encountered it. I’m glad I’m starting to see the whole picture.”
“Now I get it!”
“You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you!”
“I can see this is something I’ll need to look into a bit more before I jump to conclusions.”
“I am happy to have more data. Now I can draw a more accurate conclusion.”
“This is really helping me re-contextualize this issue.”
“This is much more nuanced than I realized before. I can see how the information I had access to previously has been oversimplified.”
“This really is more complicated than I originally thought. I’m glad I can take this new information into account.”
Being wrong isn’t a personal failing, but it can be difficult to realize that if you grew up being praised for being smart. Learning to accept changes of opinion as simply “new conclusions based on more thorough research” can be a really useful step in internalizing that idea.
gentiles have no idea which Jewish holidays are particularly significant relative to other Jewish holidays
gentiles will be like “are you going to fly across the country to be with your family for Hanukkah? also do you really need time off for Yom Kippur”
Not to make you my teacher but if you dont mind what are the most significant Jewish holidays/what they mean
Ive tried to google it but i usually only find christian bullshit
If you dont wanna thats all good to
hey! it’s admirable to want to know more. i’d recommend checking out JewFAQ’s Gentile’s Guide to the Holidays as sort of a short entry point. if you want more information on any of the specific holidays mentioned, you can check out the individual articles for those holidays under the “times” tab 😊
Hey this link was incredibly helpful! Thank you! 😊 *signal boosts*
There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without infringing copyright! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more sites for free images ❤
Thanks for the information!!
I will reblog this everytime i see it
Ok so while we’re at this, I just checked out Unsplash, and it’s an AMAZING site for free images?
