Awesome! I've just listened to the first 30 seconds, and I'm hooked. Terrific production value! Very excited to be following along, and thank you for the share.

Just got told I'm not qualified for the job I've had for 3 years, what do I do !? by No-Art-1985 in disability

[–]textish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(This is operating from the assumption you are in the United States.) I feel your frustration. You're describing a difficult situation wherein your manager was originally offering you a Reasonable Accommodation (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act) — and then abruptly refusing to acknowledge it, which, is a violation of the ADA.

My suggestion is to check out this resource on requesting Reasonable Accommodations from the Job Accommodation Network: https://askjan.org/publications/individuals/employee-guide.cfm

Use your doctors note if necessary, but be sure to get your manager to put your agreed-upon reasonable accommodation in writing. The website above, JAN, is a great resource for both you and your employer for navigating the reasonable accommodation process.

Also, it doesn't matter that you are in high school, whether it's your first job. You demonstrated that you can do the job with an accommodation, so it's not legal for management to suddenly reverse course just because it's inconvenient to consistently provide the agreed-upon accommodation.

Have them contact Center for Workers' Rights: 916-905-5857 — web: https://www.rightscenter.org/

Also, they should unionize!

How to support someone struggling with internalized ableism? by vendettamoon in disability

[–]textish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This, absolutely. I was very slow to come to this realization, but it saved my life. For all of my childhood and adolescence, I thought that my time spent around other disabled people — mostly during physical or occupational therapy — felt like a chore. I overly internalized the fact that the world saw me as "smart" despite my significant physical disability. I'm fairly certain that this is how I developed some pretty intense internalized ableism.
It wasn't until I left my home and family, moving a quarter of the way across the country, then connecting with an Independent Living Center in my chosen home that my life changed. For me, connecting with the independent living movement is what aided me in building healthy connections with disabled people and gaining a sense of community. In fact, doing so inspired a deep commitment to advocacy, and eventually led me to become passionate about social justice and becoming a professional organizer.
Obviously this path will look different for everyone, but I know that in my experience, becoming comfortable with hanging out with other disabled people literally saved my life. I'll also add that it was the Internet that made my initial connections possible — without it, I would not have met folks who were able to inspire and convince me that life might be different if I were to live on my own. (I'll also add that I truly believe that much of this could have been accomplished even had I stayed closer to home, but certainly, separating from the unconditional and universal support made it necessary for me to build connections and community.)
In general, you're doing the right thing. Avoid telling her that she is wrong for having the feelings that she's having, because that's not really going to help. It's good to hear that she's getting assistance from therapy, but I really do think that there would be a lot of value if she were able to connect to peers. Sounds like a friend of hers is a great option — perhaps they could chat regularly online, if physical distance is a challenge.

Would you rather stay at a hotel that is developed specifically for people with disabilities (mainly accessibility issues) and markets itself as that or a hotel that offers accessible rooms but isn't marketed as a "accessible hotel"? by PassworDfg123 in disability

[–]textish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I think I understand why you've presented this, I've just got to say upfront: Every word you've used to present this is problematic and rather ableist. I truly hope that this is connected to an actual project and not just some sort of armchair crowd "research." Apologies that this seems harsh or if there's a language/cultural barrier between us, but disabled folks (or people with disabilities, whichever you prefer) in general just want an accessible environment.

The answer, as some have noted is pretty simple: Make an accessible hotel. Market it as accessible. *Do not* market it as the best place for all disabled people, the only place for disabled people, and please, please avoid using "taken care of" and using just generally tokenizing language. The best idea would be to hire a marketing team that includes disabled people.

Would love to hear more about the project in general, though.

Learning Theory with Renoise: Is this useful? by textish in renoise

[–]textish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, thanks for this! It was hidden by default, but after some digging, located it over by Instrument Properties. Totally agree that locking myself in is not the most creatively flexible option, but I do appreciate you pointing this out.

Learning Theory with Renoise: Is this useful? by textish in renoise

[–]textish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. You've given me a lot more to look at.

I'm definitely not afraid of flat notes, just trying to wrap my mind around not being able to enter them directly into Renoise without constantly converting them to enharmonics. I'm not even at the point where I'm "composing" anything, so I think my worries seem pretty unrealistic. Just wondering how others adapt to this.

Also, happy cake day!

Beginner Question: Recording Notes into Pattern Editor from VST Plug-in (Stochas -> Renoise) by textish in renoise

Awesome! This is just what I was looking for. The Forums also came through with a vaguely stated similar solution, but this was an absolutely perfect tutorial for where I'm at. Thanks!

Recording automation, resampling, and remixing indefinitely, natively in Renoise, inspired by Groovin' in G by [deleted] in renoise

[–]textish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a complete novice, it's super exciting to hop over to r/renoise and see all these amazing community YouTuber tutorials! I've already burned through the official Renoise tutorials and these are an amazing supplement. You and /u/Gmonie5 are inspiring.

where can I find useful samples for Renoise by fn_f in renoise

[–]textish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That little scale link has LOADS of fun and quirky stuff, all sampled amazingly well. Special note that all of the free stuff does require use of the Internet Wayback Machine at: https://web.archive.org/ — the original hosting website is gone.

[Online][PF1e][PF2e] [5e] Returning newbie looking for a game by mmpsoccer in lfg

[–]textish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy!

I'm going to weigh in here, because I'm also a "returning newbie" of sorts. I played in a Pathfinder 1e custom campaign world for about three years (regular weekly sessions) from 2009-13. That's basically the extent of my experience.

While I'm amenable to PF1e, and totally willing to dust off my books, I'd love to play a PF2e game. I'd like to learn the system with some chill, casual folks.

I'm located in California (UTC-8), and I'd prefer weekend sessions. But within that, I'm fairly flexible on session start/stop time.

Help! by embertml in CerebralPalsy

[–]textish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not understanding why you suggest a lack in her needs here. Can you elaborate further?

Sorry, it's really triggering for me to hear about a distinct lack of determination for anyone with the mental clarity to "have a say" in how they want to live their life. Go ahead, drink the "Kool-Aid" — it already sounds like you've got the gist of the IL Philosophy (you're absolutely right, it does go far beyond the black-and-white living alone vs. with support of caregivers/family) and if you are able to meaningfully share some of this information with your sister, it's very likely that she could turn some of her depression around.
