Perfect, thank you. @NWSBUFFALO please avoid using the verbs "cripple" or "paralyze"? A great alternative would be "immobilize" or "incapacitate". MyRadar isn't the only ones to use this language - choosing these words has knock-on implications.
ALT Screenshot from Google with the search terms "national weather service crippling". Results are from the Top Stories filter on Google, with headlines including the word "crippling" parroted via the Washington Post, CNN, and Fox Weather headlines.

When possible, avoid the terms special needs and special education. While they remain in wide use in education and law, many view them as euphemistic and offensive. Instead, aim to be specific about the needs or services in question.

Growing up poor makes for irrational behavior. I’ll buy myself an expensive bag the same day I duct tape a broken deodorant lid to avoid paying $3.

Over the course of my life I have held many job titles from Room Service Server, Fashion Designer, Product Manager, and many more.
I am not any of those jobs, I am me, with or without those titles.

TIKTOK BANNED HER ACCOUNT FOR EXPOSING THESE MEN. I had a feeling that’s why I saved it. The comments section was so sad and filled with women talking about why they quit pursuing tech. This is a problem.

Frog and Toad were caught in the rain. They ran to Frog’s house.
'I am all wet,' said Toad. 'The day is spoiled.'
'Have some tea and cake,' said Frog. 'The rain will stop. If you stand near the stove, your clothes will soon be dry.'

Dear Blind tech learners who apologize, call yourselves ignorant or slow, and act like you're wasting my time:
