Replying to @Etsy
@Etsy it's been 15 days now. And an Etsy store has been shut down for the crime of trying to change their bank details... How is this ok Etsy support? At what point is ok to start panicking? What about bills? What about existing orders? How is this ok?

For anyone wondering. It was finally resolved this morning. A month an a half of her business income gone "for her protection" an absolute betrayal from @Etsy. You systems need to be changed

Replying to @Etsy
@Etsy please can you expedite my urgent support ticket #15889451 My account access has been limited due to suspicious login, so no income whilst I wait for a response - perhaps worse my poor customers are left thinking I've run of with their money as my shop has been hidden.

There just isn't a context that a good government bans protests. Fix the issues don't just sweep people under the rug

Before Christmas I promised to better support law enforcement to stop disruptive protests. Today, this government has delivered on that promise.

The amount of people who feel that blind people don't deserve nice things... Is disheartening. And for today it's been too much for me. A thread.

What they were already aiming for. The brail knights are a community of blind TTRPG players, where the entire is based on books, dice rolls, and imagination. Make those books available to the blind. We live in a digital age where that doesn't mean a separate book being printed

Just a file layout in a way that doesn't stop it from being accessible. Yet there has been a response of "don't make demands of the industry" Why the hell not? I can't think of a single reason why we don't make demands...

At this point, making sure a PDF works with a screen reader should be as common sense as checking your webpage works in different browsers. Come on People!
