Friday Five for oct 12
Oct. 12th, 2018 07:31 pm1. What was the best compliment you ever received?
A friend on twitter recently said they associate me with "radical kindness".
2. What are your five best talents?
Writing; taking care of plants; taking photos; finding good stuff at the thrift store; being patient with animals and people.
3. What do you wish most people knew about you, and why?
I mostly want to be known as as a good person who tries to do the right thing. Taking this question a different way, I would like if people had a greater understanding of anxiety and pain, and how much I struggle.
4. What has been your biggest accomplishment so far, and why does it mean so much to you?
Working on Access at WisCon. I think that in a small way, the Access team helped to change the world. We showed that events can do a great job with accessibility even on a small budget. We influenced other conventions and events. I hope that we helped some people "come out" as disabled, and helped non-disabled people have a greater understanding. It was a team and convention-wide effort, but I was a big part of it, and I'm very proud of that. My mentor was![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jesse_the_k.
We also created wonderful documentation for all we did, and put those ideas out into the world for other folks to use. You can see some of that documentation at: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Accessibility
5. If you could achieve anything in your life, what would it be?
Overthrow capitalism, obviously.
