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.

I haven't checked DW in a few days, so maybe they changed a setting? Or maybe it depends on what browser/device you're using. (I'm on Firefox on a Macbook.)
Just a little confused as to what's going on, but I figure there must be a way to revert to the old style and retain it?

Some journal styles appear unaffected and I'm glad yours is one of them. I use one of the site skins for mine and it was affected in a big way.

There was a code push and it changed a lot.
