Memo to the media: Don't write about corporations suddenly lowering prices without mentioning how their profits have been skyrocketing or their tax bills have been shrinking. They could have kept prices lower all along. They chose note to. Give people the full picture.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the invention of the Braille code. The International Council on English Braille, which has a General Assembly every four years, met this time in Auckland, New Zealand.
I was profoundly honoured to be invited to deliver the keynote address to mark the 200th anniversary of the code that gave blind people literacy. The address is called “Safeguarding the Legacy, Investing the Inheritance”.

Whether you’re blind or not, whether you read Braille or not, if you’re interested in the cultural impact and the history of a system that gave an uneducated minority literacy, I hope you find this address informative. You can read the text, or listen to the audio.
It is of course presumptuous of me to think I might be remembered at all when my life is over. But if I am, I would like to hope that this address might be a reason. I put months of work into it, because Louis Braille is my hero. I do not have the words to truly convey the impact his work, his genius, has had on my life.

I hope you enjoy it, and I thank with deep appreciation ICEB for the opportunity to deliver it.

Louisiana legislature approves bill classifying abortion pills as controlled dangerous substances & the craziest thing about this is the GOP Rep who sponsored the bill did so b/c his ex-brother-in-law slipped abortion pills to his sister (in TX) w/o her knowledge—& wants to ensure it never happens again.

So—because one conservative extremist husband abused his wife—all women have to suffer?😐

This absurd bill will kill women, all thanks to the party of small Govt & personal responsibility. smh.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

It is a new and audacious low for Trump to use Russia’s wrongful detention of WSJ reporter captivity of Evan Gershkovich as some kind of promotion of himself but I don’t know why I’m surprised. New and audacious lows are all he has to offer. I am beside myself that people are threatening to enable him to regain power in a temper tantrum not suited for adults old enough to vote.

A streamer I like got her account hacked, so if anyone knows someone who works over at YouTube well enough to ask for a favor, send me a DM.

The hackers deleted a decade of videos and turned her channel into scam Tesla content (unsurprisingly).

Maga republican fascist judges are bad.
Things the Courts will say just off the top of my head:

*No right to sexual freedom, arresting queer people is ok

*Schools can ban books if they want

*Students have no speech rights, teachers should rule with iron fists

*No right to marry in our history/traditions

*Our libel laws are too strict, Republicans can sue the NYTimes

*No right to control your body, states may ban contraceptives at will

*Fetuses are persons under the law and women are incubators.

We do not want republican criminals in office.

Things I teach my kids:

• “No” is a complete sentence.
• If you’re not having a good time you can leave.
• Never make yourself smaller just to make other people more comfortable.
• It’s okay not to be okay.
• Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.
• Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business.
• Speak as kindly to yourself as you would speak to others.
• Be your own greatest cheerleader, always.

It’s never too late to learn these things.

I've just received my Zoom H1 Esential recorder. Now to figure out how to actually operate the thing and set it up. I'll be on my teamtalk server at 97.107.140.118 default ports, in the tech center, if anyone wants to watch me try to figure this thing out, without having read any documentation at all prior to receiving it. :)

If you encourage not voting for Biden, especially as if that is a noble and compassionate thing to do (like, bc he hasn't stopped the Gaza genocide), you are contributing to the death of democracy not just in the USA, but globally.

Grow the fuck up: you won't get what you want by taking your toys and stomping off the playground.

Donald Trump - candidate for the Republican party despite having:

-sent an armed mob to stop the election certification
-told an insurrectionist mob to go to our Capitol and fight like hell
-tried to steal an election
-received millions of dollars from foreign nations while serving as President
-been found to be a sexual predator by a jury
-been found to be a fraud by a judge
-had multiple affairs that he covered up through hush money payments
-did tax fraud
-stolen national security secrets which he hid and concealed, enlisted others to help his Espionage crimes
-promised a healthcare plan in two weeks, never delivered, but did deliver an empty binder to 60 minutes
-pretended a pandemic wasn't serious causing hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths
-said he wants to be a dictator
-told our enemy to go ahead and attack our allies
-sent jobs to china
-praises murderous dictators
-told 33,000 lies in office

And all of this is but a fraction of his crimes, scandals and despicable moments. #election
