this morning I was out-poetried by a sidewalk that had thoughts on pain, impermanence, resilience and beauty

transfem oomfs, when you got on HRT and your hair started coming back, how long did it take before the new growth stopped being a completely untameable frizzy mess?

Got pulled over. Auto registration lapsed while we were distracted by, y'know, everything.

Police officer was apologetic and solicitous with me, all smiles, and then asked for my license (with my deadname) and disappeared into his car. For a long time.

"Eat pests, always trip potential burglars, and when the mood strikes, provide purrs."

The kittens repeated these wise words from the older cat.

"What about the red dot?" asked one curious ball of fluff.

"What about the red dot?" the older cat asked back.

"How do we catch it."

The older cat washed her whiskers making her pupils wait, "If you catch it, then what?"

The kittens couldn't answer, realizing the chase was much more exciting.

Republican Congressman Rich McCormick, who believes trans rights are bad for American families, has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years (and mother of their seven children) after revelation of his alleged affair with Republican Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who also believes trans rights are bad for American families.

"lf a person refused to (unmask), that right there should cause you some sense of alarm."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams continues to encourage businesses to request customers to unmask. This is ableist, puts people's health at risk, and is NOT required by law.

A few more notes about video games and VoiceOver Recognition: the story mode of Blazblue reads very well with screen recognition, even better than Windows OCR! In some games, when menus have descriptions, you can tell which menu item you're on by the description of the item at the bottom. With the Provinence app, audio latency is amazingly low with my AirPods Pro 2. So, playing games using those is really, really amazing! No game mode needed! I can't wait for more blind people to get into this! #accessibility #blind #gaming #Provinence #iOS #RetroGames #emulation #emulators

Thanks everyone! We closed the loop!

Most websites are now publishing algorithmic generated content in order to please ranking algorithms from search engines in order to display generated ads that will be clicked by crawling bots and automatically generated social profiles.

No humans needed any more!

Which means that you can now close your laptop, watch a sunset and talk to real humans near you. Enjoy your life far from your screen.

What we didn't learn about the Black Panthers, but should have
The Black Panther Party history holds vital lessons for today's movements confront
racism and police violence,yet textbooks either
misrepresent or minimized the significance of
The Black Panthers.
This local organizing that the Panthers engaged in has been erased in the textbooks,yet it is precisely what won them support

They fought in black communities across the nation for giving the poor, decent housing,healthcare, education

Interesting new dyslexic friendly font - https://www.oliviaking.com/inclusive-sans

finally seems that font designers are actually talking (and listening) to dyslexics about what makes a font hard to read.

Is it too cynical to believe that Judge Cannon timed the announcement of the postponement of a Trump classified documents trial to take away from the salacious sex details from Stormy Daniels' testimony today?

This paper is trash. We do this every few years.

The conclusion is correct (graduate degree holding white men believe the most 'taboo' conspiracy theories), but the reasons it suggests why, are sociology-babble garbage. The real reason is:

  • Racism is a lie. To believe in racism, you must believe a set of easily debunkable lies.
  • Richer, whiter, maler, more educated populations are not less racist, despite attempts to twist stats to say this. They're more racist.

Yes there's a lot of scholarship on the relationship between being racist and believing more conspiracy theories. No I'm not going to go dig it all up for you, because it's Sunday and I'm lazy. And because you know what I'm saying is true.

You know that Fox News watchers were so much more likely to believe both covid conspiracy theories, and election conspiracy theories. They've been happily inbibing racist lies about Black folk for decades. They made themselves truth resistant. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Blåhaj bless the 70-year-old woman in the changing rooms after aerobics, chatting to me and putting me at ease, and encouraging me to keep at it. (Gosh, aerobics is hard work!)
