#iam1in12 — Public Fediverse posts

I've just moved instances so here's a quick #introduction
I am (in no partic. order) a Dad, husband, dog & cat owner, FOSS writer, user & advocate, feminist, LGBTQIA+ ally, author, creative, woodworker, upscaler, potential diabetic, colourblind #Iam1in12 and passionate about mental health.
I've been on the Internet since the mid 90s and writing for and enjoying computers since I got a ZX-80.
By nature l, an introvert, so even somewhere like this I listen + watch more than speak.

Today, 6th Sept is #ColourBlindAwarenessDay. https://www.colourblindawareness.org/about-us/campaigns/colour-blind-awareness-day/

- #1in200 people born with XX chromosomes have it
- 300million people have it
- it's hereditary[1] and due to a defective X chromosome
