Welcome to: The Somebody, Nobody, Anybody and Everybody Blog!

This is a space for unfiltered thoughts and experiences from my perspective and a space to call my own on the internet. Here, you'll find a humorous (and sometimes brutally honest) take on life, navigating the seeing world as a person with sight impairment, and the wonderful (and often frustrating) world of technology, all served up with a healthy dose of my unfiltered thoughts and opinions.  Expect a mix of everything: hilarious anecdotes, sarcastic jabs, and the occasional rant, alongside no get-rich-quick schemes, no miracle health cures, and no relationship advice from a self-proclaimed guru (who's probably single themselves).  So, if you're looking for a laugh (and maybe a little offense) and are up for some unapologetic, unpolished, and occasionally unconventional musings, then pull up a chair and grab a cuppa. But if you're easily offended or expecting a five-step plan to achieve ultimate success, this might not be the blog for you.  Dive in at yo...

The Architecture of Choice: Navigating the Gap Between Right and Good

Life, when viewed through the lens of a child, is often painted in primary colors . There is a "right" way to act, a "wrong" way to behave, and a "good" outcome we all strive for. But as we mature, the primary colors bleed into a vast, misty gray. I have spent a lifetime navigating that gray, guided by a unique constellation of parents—two fathers and three mothers. Each provided a different coordinate on my moral map, but it was my two fathers who defined the tension I live by today: the realization that what is right is not always good, and what is good is not always right.

Introducing: The Revolutionary Service offered by The Somebody, Nobody, Anybody & Everybody Blog!

Welcome, dear reader, to a corner of the internet where curiosity isn’t just encouraged—it’s mandatory. You’ve read blogs before. You’ve seen opinions, hot takes, and “10 Ways to Change Your Life” lists that didn’t even change your lunch plans. But this… this is different. This is The Somebody, Nobody, Anybody & Everybody Blog—a place where ideas collide, questions multiply, and occasionally, reality takes a coffee break. Today, we’re not here to give you advice, sell you a dream, or tell you how to fold your laundry in 12 easy steps. No. Today, we’re here to pitch something so bold, so revolutionary, so gloriously unnecessary… that you’ll wonder why nobody thought of it sooner. What is it? Well, if we told you now, you’d leave. And we can’t have that. So stick around. Read on. Because by the end of this post, you’ll either laugh, cry, or start throwing your wallet at the screen. (Preferably the last one.)

Don't Let Meta Ignore Us: Accessibility regression in new WhatsApp Desktop & How to fight back

The latest WhatsApp Desktop update for Windows is not just a change in layout; it is a significant step backward for the accessibility community. Meta has transitioned the application to a web-based wrapper (WebView2), and in doing so, they have effectively broken established screen reader workflows, rendered keyboard shortcuts useless, and compromised the overall stability we rely on for daily communication. We cannot remain silent while "progress" comes at the cost of our independence. It is time to stop being polite about these barriers and start being assertive in our demands for a functional interface.

Why We Are Strangers to Ourselves: A Guide to Self-Knowledge

Most of us stumble through life under the impression that we know who we are simply because we inhabit our own bodies and hear our own thoughts. But the truth is often far more complex: we are frequently deep mysteries to ourselves. We have reactions we don’t understand, anxieties we can’t name, and patterns that quietly sabotage our happiness. Truly knowing oneself isn't a natural gift; it is a hard-won skill that requires a gentle, persistent, and deeply reflective approach to our own minds.

Don't Fire the Bullet: How to Master the Art of Responding

The heat of the moment is a dangerous place to live. We have all been there—someone says something that stings, or a situation takes an unexpected turn, and before we even realize it, we have fired back. These instant reactions are like firing bullets; once the trigger is pulled, you cannot take the words back, and the damage is often done before the smoke clears. But what if you could install a safety catch on that impulse?
