(Unrelated to MY employment situation, this time!)

I prefer contract/freelance as a deaf, neurodivergent, and disabled person because it enables me to accommodate myself.

Most comms happen over text formats, my hours are more flexible, generally no expectations about online time.

My accommodations are written into policies. No accomm battles.

I see more development leads in my future, but I’m also open to writing, research, experimenting, testing.

Whether software engineering, design, requirements gathering, disability or accessibility studies.

Might sound broad/indecisive, but I’m truly open to exploring & great at weighing nuance. 🥰

That’s so kind 💜💜💜

“Never gonna fully heal” is one the hardest things to try to fathom. “Time heals all wounds” just isn’t true, and I wish more people in my life talked about that growing up. Working a lot on that specific piece of acceptance right now.

Ty 💜 It is a very weird experience. Spirograph is an interesting way to think about it. Kind of… inconsistent, but predictable

Definitely got a big ol helping of anxiety. Unsure about the first bc I’ve never had it (but keeping an eye on it)
