There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out
So I got home to discover the latest code push from Dreamwidth has effectively broken the site for me. I left a comment to that effect. It does not look as though my comment will make a difference.
I understand accessibility is complicated. This journal and DW in general was one of the few things in my life right now that did not cause me active pain. It was in fact rather sustaining. That has just sharply ceased to be the case. I have no idea what to do. I left LJ for DW. I had planned to stay here until they turned out the lights because I trusted them not to hurt me. Now my eyes hurt. I am a text-oriented person who cannot comfortably interact with the text-based form of social media which is very nearly the whole of my life online. There's nowhere to go from here. (I can't even think about the effects on my Patreon.) I am tired of being a person whose needs are disposable. I am very, very, very not happy.
[edit 2020-07-26 1:21:00] I have temporarily reverted to the old style because the alternative appears to be verging on a migraine. And perhaps in a year the horse will learn to sing.

Thank you. I have just done so. I hope it's noticed.
The announcement post has 297 comments currently, so I think you are not the only person to feel uncomfortable (and reasonably so) with the changes.
Fingers crossed. I don't want the mobile people to be miserable, but I also want to be still writing in this journal in six months.

That does feel counterproductive. (I am glad, at least, your version did not break.)

I hope you're writing in this journal then, too!

Given the state of the world, honestly, for a lot of reasons. You, too!
