Another day, another demonstration of #Trump's worsening #dementia...
In today's episode, Trump became lost in a mental fog, and thought he saw #OJSimpson in the crowd at his rally. OJ Simpson is dead. The #Republicans should be very concerned about the fact that their candidate is apparently so deep in mental failure that he's seeing dead people.
i found a #seattle local therapy group for people who care for folks who live out of state and have #dementia. i honestly cried after i got off the phone with the facilitator. ♥️ already feel community.

I've got some thoughts about how the tech world ignores the needs of users with cognitive disabilities like dementia. Hit me hard this week.
There are degrees of dementia. Some people live with mild or moderate forms for years and deserve respect, dignity and as much freedom as we can offer them. That includes access to the internet.
