Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 4hSo much this. I have been saying that Accessible Design and Responsive Design are the same thing* since before smartphones. And yet both are STILL treated as an afterthought, bolt on or annoyance by many designers. *i.e. they're both ways of looking at Universal Design. 031

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 28/09/2026This seems to reinforce their bigotries so they become resistant to being told they're being lied to no matter how obvious the evidence is that they're being lied to and exploited by the political grifters. In fact the more obvious it is, the more stubborn in their beliefs they become. 0596
Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 28/09/2026People REALLY don’t like being told they’re wrong. What the far right have done is weaponise this and tell people that the feelings of bigotry that they’re secretly ashamed of are actually good. And if deployed cunningly this works on far more people than you'd think, which is exhausting. 314340
Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 28/09/2026I have discovered that a way of making myself do something I keep putting off starting (could be quite a small thing) is to tell myself I don’t have to do it and that no-one's forcing me. Bam. Suddenly it gets done. 061

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 27/09/2026Have you ever had someone get your name wrong and then they keep calling you that so frequently (a name over-user) that you don't have the heart to correct them? Their confidence is sometimes so strong that you feel it would be too embarrassing for them for you to point out the mistake. 141

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 27/09/2026I am almost convinced that some objects evaporate. I'm not talking about little things like spoons or scissors. It's things like a certain jacket or top that I know I had, know I didn't donate to a charity shop, and know I didn't give away and yet it's not anywhere in the bloody house. 120

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 27/09/2026The capitalist obsession with “other people getting free stuff” is a symptom of their sickness that some people get taken in by because it’s more important to them that others suffer than everyone is OK. They see themselves as potential billionaires (not gonna happen). 110

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 24/09/2026NB as someone with ADHD I have always suffered from being told I'm lazy (including by myself). This isn't that kind of laziness.

Chris Limb @catmachine.com · 24/09/2026The far right do well by telling people their bigotry is good. Those falling for this then discover that they far prefer bringing others down than raising themselves up. It's easier for a start. Less mental effort. Laziness is the root of all evil. 100
