I podcast, write, and edit books and articles on Christianity, politics, and all sorts of justice issues. I'm proudly blind and less proudly an ex - lawyer. Will occasionally post on baseball or nerd things. He/him. Most of my work is on my Substack, www.KTF Press.com

I'm sick of justifying ethical behavior in terms of profit. We use phrases like "adding alt-text brings more customers to your site" or "protected bike lanes increase revenue for local businesses."

You should add alt-text descriptions to images because it helps people.

We need to build bike lanes because it makes cities safer and more accessible.

Reduce carbon emissions because it's the right thing to do! Discussing these things in purely economic terms misses the point.

@docpop Totally agree. And on top of that, it can obfuscate economic oppression. Like when we argue for disability recruiting because disabled employees are demonstrably more loyal, ignoring that the cause of the loyalty is the lack of opportunity elsewhere.

@abdullah_nimer Hi Abdullah, I’m Sy. I’m also blind, and I was at the shut it down for Palestine rally in New York city today. There are a lot of us out here who care, even if our governments don’t. We will keep doing what we can.

    I really like the podcast episode we put out today. It’s with Native Hawaiian educator and activist Dani Espiritu on Hawaiʻi’s complex relationship to Christianity, Hawaiian theology, environmental justice, and a lot more. Links below if you’re interested.

    One day, my one year old will learn the difference between things that are and are not drums, but that day is not today. Current drum = jar of baby food, current drumstick = spoon

    Really feels like you would be very lost watching if you haven’t seen , right? Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time. But it feels like a very niche show

    @rm4 Yes, the ever expanding FiloniVerse really is its own world in a lot of ways

    My 1- year-old just learned the word hat... Kind of yesterday she smashed a piece of watermelon into her hair and yelled “hat!” So there is some refining of the concept left to do.
