I realise that it has been a while since my last post. I also realise that no one has missed my posts during that time. But that's their loss. I write mainly for my own betterment, and if anyone is entertained or amused by what I write, then good for them.
Anyways, much has happened since the last time I posted on this blog, most of which is of no interest to anyone who might read this blog. However, I will say that I'm studying computer sciences and thus learning to program in Java and create webpages with HTML and CSS, so if anyone has questions, feel free to ask. This also means I may write some computer related posts at some point.
In other news, I have started a new blog (yes, yet another blog), focusing on reviews of pretty much everything, from books to films to museums. In case anyone is interested in my perspective on stuff I encounter/experience, check this out: http://pharaoh-joz.blogspot.be/
Finally, someone (presumably NT) with whom I was talking maintains that physical disabilities are different from mental disabilities in more than the part of the body they effect. Thus, autistic person is correct, whereas blind person should be person with blindness (or something like that). Basically, they say that most mental disabilities should be disability-first, whereas physical disabilities should be people-first. One of their reasons for this was that in schools, for example, the facilities for accommodating for autistic people goes beyond the implementation of a set group of resources (such as audio books and text-to-voice software for a blind person). They also argued that a person's blindness does not change their personality, nor the way they should be treated. I will go into further detail in my next post, as well as including my stance on the discussion. Any opinions and additional perspectives would be welcome
Until then and "the case is closed", bye!
