Photosensitivity - Blog Posts

1 year ago

I wish there was a law against strobe bike lights. Last night i literally had a seizure because my boyfriends roommate got home when I was outside, and suddenly the yard was strobing.

Like okaay, TV rules were changed cuz of that one episode of pokemon that gave kids seizures right? So how come its chill that people can ride around through town with strobe lights attached to their bikes? What if a kid is in a car behind you and has a seizure? What if someone is walking down the street and suddenly your bile is the reason they are in the back of an ambulance?

As someone with photosensitive epilepsy, I've been taught my whole life to avoid the flashing triggers. When things are flashy online youre told to just avoid the internet, when stores have bad lights dont shop there, no clubbing or parties because there will be strobes. It feels so unfair that even when we go out of our way to avoid seizure triggers, people still will find a way to make your world smaller and smaller.

Even on a not epilepsy note, they are literally more unsafe for bikers because the strobing light makes it harder for night drivers to tell how fast and where exactly you are than a non blinking light......

Dark mode for photosensitivity

Hi friends! I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD + autism (v v fun combo) and am very sensitive to bright lights and blue light. I’ve been on a mission to find a way to force dark mode for everything on my work computer to keep myself from getting overstimulated in the office. Enter in this magical thing called ✨browser flags✨

I’ve linked the article I followed below so hopefully this will help someone who struggles with the same things I do. Remember: do this at your own risk and discretion. It is a beta feature and will look a little weird on some websites.
