Note: The neurotypical privilege is over. Welcome to The New Dark Age.



If type and glyphs are the building blocks of the new OpenSemanticWeb3.0 megafad, then does that mean dyslexics and ilk will go jobless?

All of these sexycoolfun new Web apps, and you're still bombarding me with tiny fonts and variants of Helvetica/Arial.

The future you people are building makes me want to slam my head into a desk.
