From the inbox. Blind people should care about text formatting, like bold and italics. Screen readers should show it in speech, through voice changes, and Braille, after all there *are* symbols for this. Why would people use stars for italics if it weren't important to them?



@A5Paige @serrebi @bscross32 @BlindUnfiltered calling someone blind because they can't see or illiterate because they can't form the symbols of letters into words is not insulting it is being honest. It is also showing the lazy teachers who think audio is good enough the damage they are causing students, we need that.

#NationalKittenDay 1000s of kittens end up in shelters each year, never adopted. An article on humanpro.org reports that over 3.2 million cats end up in shelters & 27% are euthanized yearly. 💔

The impact of this is severe, and not just for the cats!

I would pay a small amount per-month for a service that just lets me forward spam e-mail to it, looks up the IP addresses for the malicious link, e-mail header, and domain if applicable, and e-mails the relevant abuse departments. I do this sometimes, but it's a lot of work.



IIRC, ACB President Dan Spoone did extend an olive branch to the NFB at the 2021 virtual convention general session opener. It would be nice to see a collab on the national level; states like MA do have collabs between the two orgs re: advocacy issues and showing up at events.
