[Image of a slice of avocado toast and peanut butter toast with a slider showing on the left that they look very different and on the right they look almost identical in color/texture] "Apparently, this is nauseating to people That's my life."](https://newsletter.wolmania.com/content/images/2023/04/Pasted-Graphic-1.png)
As part of a weeklong series of stories about user interface, Andy Baio writes for The Verge about his experience of living with colorblindness in our wonderful modern world. The piece has a bunch of helpful images with, and without, simulated color blindness so readers who aren’t colorblind can see how aggravating many design choices (on- and offline) can be.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and do not inadvertently get embroiled in an ethics scandal just because you keep accepting free vacations, sculpture, or bags of cash from Bond villain types.
See you next week.
