Jesse, blind android user A helpful thing
What genuinely helped? The stranger on the train who simply said “There’s a free seat two rows up on the left, the one by the window” instead of grabbing my arm and steering me like a shopping trolley. Information, not ownership. That one sentence made me feel like a person, not a problem to be managed.
