  • Finalized a replacement wheelchair (via tele-health appointment) in September (August?) of 2020 (A process that began in January 2020); finally got confirmation that Medicare approved it in November. My old motor wheelchair died in January 2021. Spent two+ months in a rented, folding manual wheelchair. New Wheelchair arrived at the end of March. I did not learn until they were rolling it up my driveway (after I'd already paid the 20% co-pay) that the model of wheelchair I actually ordered had been discontinued, and nearly every detail of the design of this chair is different from the chair I thought I was getting.

  • I'm now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The side effects were not so bad. But I'm still uneasy because of the Delta variant.

  • This year, after being in the public domain for over two years, the design I came up with for the Disability Pride flag suddenly got famous (someone made a Reddit post about it, I think). And at least a couple posts about it on Tumblr got over 10,000 notes each. With the increased sample size of eyeballs on it, enough people with visually-triggered epilepsy discovered that it created a flicker effect when they scrolled past it online, and some people had seizures because of that.

    So much of July was spent redesigning the flag, with several people helping out. Most people (including some who were hurt by the original), were kind and helpful. And now the new design (in my new default icon) is also in the public domain.


So, yeah. I think that catches you up on all the big news from me.
