Our Strategic Gaslight Reserve is overflowing, so there’s that.

“Universal design” means that when we design society inclusively, it benefits everyone.

The other point to remember is that everyone, if they live long enough, will become disabled. Just because you don’t need an accommodation now doesn’t mean you NEVER will.

But it means caring about wellbeing.

Can a piece of technology be made with the intent to help ease barriers? Sure. But until you address things like pay gaps and resource deserts and malevolent bureaucracy, all you’re doing is inventing a reason people will claim discrimination is over.

“ad homienems” indeed

Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially- trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual citizen-saboteur can perform. This paper is primarily concerned with the latter type.

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.

Here's how to make a comment: darksky.org/news/two-sat...

As a short, middle-aged woman of color, my first instinct was “openly laugh at him” followed by an expression of obvious revulsion and getting out of there as quickly as possible.

Mine were dense and I had to get follow up ultrasounds after every mammogram, but last year they told me they are only a little bit dense now (can’t remember the exact terminology this second) and that breasts ten to get less dense with age, I guess?

Yeah, for me the tell was that the people have articulated limbs like action figures, but these would’ve had to have been custom made, either hand sculpted or 3d printed, in which case those joints don’t make much sense. Possible, but unlikely.

I feel like we're forgetting that ctrl+f still exists and works really well... simply because a bunch of shills want us to put money in their AI boondoggle.

It recently came to my attention that a friend who escaped an abuser wasn’t familiar with DARVO, an acronym for understanding how abusers operate. So we’re all going to have a little education tonight:

It was really interesting to watch Norm Pattis in person. After, folks asked what I thought about him, and I said I respected how hard he worked for his client, which he sometimes seemed very good at but sometimes… not.

I wanted him to do his best so we the jury could feel we were doing our best.

I recently served on a jury where the defense attorney was the infamous Norm Pattis, and I did a lot of personal reflection on this topic!

They can’t stand that this society has been multi cultural and multi ethnic since before the USA was the USA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispus...

Panic! At The Fertilizer Desk, US Edition

Americans: this is your regular reminder that maybe 0.01% of people who write for the news actually understand how fertilizer works.

But their editors all found out that scary headlines about "GLOBAL SHORTAGE??" get clicks.

How does this fit into their whole “bring about the end times, get raptured” plan?

This is my entire life now and I need someone to fix it (me) please.

Hey gang, I hope you've remembered to

eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back

The beans have to take turns

if you're rooting for the end of civilization because you think it'll involve more "running around in artfully ripped clothes with a nail bat" than "spending large parts of your life thinking about soil quality" you are in for an incredibly disappointing surprise

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Someone in Canada, please send me a postcard!
