Accommodation Request To All Users

When writing long posts, please break your text into paragraphs with at least one full line of space between them, as a single continuous wall of text can be difficult-to-impossible for some people with disabilities to read (including some people on the admin team).

If you see someone has made a wall-of-text post, please feel free to remind them of this request in-thread so they can edit their post, and/or flag the post so an admin can add spacing. Thanks all!

The animated gifs post is locked for replies, but I wanted to ask that you consider replacing "special needs" with "disabilities".

"Special needs" implies that there are normal, reasonable needs, which the normies have, and then these weird special freakish needs, which disabled people have.

It's also a term a lot of us find demeaning and infantilizing, as well as othering.

Thanks.
If there's a problem the judicious application of goats won't fix, I don't want to know about it.
