re: meta, racism, question
@chriscoreline Great, but a) I am disabled and generally cannot read whole books, and b) I *am* already learning about the basic issues but those crucially do not answer the *very specific* question that I asked in the original post, and like I mentioned, this is a problem *now* and perpetually waiting for the answer to magically coalesce is not really an option.
This whole discussion is kind of moot anyway, because the question was already answered - by a white person, I might add, whom I trust to derive their explanations from what non-white folks have said, as the post asked for - and so I have the answer I was looking for now.
re: meta, racism, question
@alexander @chriscoreline I mean, I agree with the idea that you shouldn't *expect* marginalized folks to explain things to you, because it *does* create an unreasonable amount of pressure on the most vulnerable folks, who constantly have to explain themselves.
But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be asking anything anymore at all either, because that creates the problem you describe where the proper solutions are unknown to people, hence trying to find ways (like the stand-alone question post) that ask but do not expect.

meta, racism, question
@chriscoreline I've posted it as a standalone question (as I've seen recommended by at least one Black person, incidentally) instead of in someone's replies specifically to avoid this.
I'm also specifically asking because I've been unable to find an answer on this over the past months, and if I want to be able to contribute towards a solution, I can't wait for the answer to magically appear forever - this is a problem *right now*.

@cephie Ah, I guess the deletion didn't federate :p
The requirements in the original post were (abbreviated): lumbar support, adjustable height, seat padding, waterfall seat, no/detachable armrest, ~hundreds of dollars max

@daughterofrao@weirder.earth I ran across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq13diBRQcA which allows printing decals onto the first layer, but it is somewhat limited.
Usually you'd do some sort of screen printing for this, but that's probably going to be somewhat tricky to DIY without equipment (though likely possible!)
@ben Seems to be some work here: https://gist.github.com/idbrii/804ba1b902d8631f3bc82b8cb08b5f5f

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
