Dear #DigitalHumanities and #corpus_linguistics colleagues: In order to help a colleague with a project application that may also help a project I'm involved with, I'm wondering what, if any, arguments there are for #part-of-speech-tagging as an accessibility feature? Does anyone have an example of how this can help people with non-normative functionalities?
Boosts with other hashtags appreciated. @corpuslinguistics @linguistics

The annual endless advertising for Medicare Advantage programs is going increasingly off the wall. I thought the use of very elderly celebrities was a bit edgy, but now there's a commercial where the actor is ranting about how they hate these commercials.
For the past week, I've been serializing the prologue of The Lost Cause, my #solarpunk novel of a post-#GreenNewDeal backlash that comes out on November 14:

In my upcoming #solarpunk novel The Lost Cause (Nov 14), we get an epic struggle between the people doing the repair and care work needed to save our planet and species, and the reactionary wreckers who want to kill the #GreenNewDeal and watch the world burn:

My next novel is The Lost Cause, a rollicking solarpunk adventure about defending the #GreenNewDeal from seagoing anarcho-capitalist wreckers and white nationalist militias; #BillMcKibben called it "a chronicle of mutual aid that is politically perceptive, scientifically sound, and extraordinarily hopeful":
My next novel is The Lost Cause, a solarpunk adventure about "the first generation in a century that doesn't fear the future." It comes out on Nov 14, and its early fans include Naomi Klein:

Amazon won't sell my audiobooks, so I made my own, doing the narration this time around. I'm running a #Kickstarter campaign to pre-sell the audiobook, ebook and hardcovers, including signed, personalized hardcovers - I hope you'll consider backing it:
My next novel is The Lost Cause, out on November 14; it's a hopeful tale of the fights we'll face after we address the polycrisis. #BillMcKibben called it "The first great YIMBY novel":

I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
So of course each furnace line has a different (in my case) #Rheem#part#number for the motor, even though all of them are actually the same 1/2 HP GE motor and controller -- they've just had different #settings "blown" into them.
And if you try to use the "wrong" motor from another furnace, the control board says "no way!" and won't work.
So Rheem gets to keep #selling#parts that are #exclusive only to them, and only for one model of furnace, so they're stupidly #expensive.
But this "make a #generic#part#incompatible with all other similar parts by using #electronics that refuse to operate if the other end doesn't have the right matching settings blown into its software, so you can #charge ten times as much for it" should be #illegal.
#Apple is getting famous for this lately. You can replace parts in an Iphone or Ipad, but they won't work right because they're paired by serial numbers for no operational purpose whatsoever.
