  • As an example, the author/activist bell hooks’ pen name was requested to be stylized in lower case.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bell_hooks

    In her case, she wanted people to focus on her writing rather than her name. Often times, even at the start of a sentence, you’ll see news articles lowercase her name.

    To your latter point, I think the reason given definitely does influence my feelings on the matter - I’m comfortable giving someone “de-emphasis” when requested out of respect, or referring to someone by their preferred pronouns out of general respect as well. However, I do have lines that feel uncomfortable to cross, that I wouldn’t cross, such as a white person preferring to be called “Master”.



  • Once you find a style of switch that you like, I’ve gotten some from https://drop.com when they were on sale for a decent price.

    I’ve also had success with switches from https://kono.store

    I think usually you can find switches usually sold in groups of 10, 35, or 70 depending on where you get them, and the price per switch can vary pretty heavily, anywhere from like 50¢ per switch to a couple dollars per switch.

    I would highly recommend sampling a switch style or exact switch if possible before buying, though I have bought switches without doing that (after watching YouTube videos on them) and been mostly happy.
