I cursed the gendered nature of tech design that has written out women from the group of legitimate users of phones as portable devices to be used on-the-go. I cursed that what was taken for granted by the male designers and male users of modern phones was simply not available to me. I cursed that I could not effectively document how large numbers of ordinary people had come to visit a park were being massively tear-gassed because I simply could not take a one-handed picture. I especially cursed that I could not lift the camera above my head, hold it steadily *and* take a picture—something I had seen countless men with larger hands do all the time. I’m 5 foot 2 inches on a good day and my hands are simply not big enough for effective one-handed use of the kind of phones that I want to use for my work. Too much stupid.
