Neurodivergent? Queer? Joint pain? Go and read up on Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Yes, even if you're not all that flexible these days. Even if it's not you, it's probably some of your friends.

to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features"
it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

Recently I went on a silent retreat in a convent where I went insane and drew dozens of hands. Now the thing is that I've not drawn anything with physical media since I was about 15 so my question is... What was the blue thing I was using to draw? I loved it and want to buy some for home.

Important thread on how to set up a Ring camera so that it doesn't record anyone's face, but does still let you know if someone is at the door.
There's been a lot of talk about how ICE and other government officials are using Ring camera data to get information about your neighbors and delivery people, and so rightfully so. However, I also know that a lot of disabled people use them for accessibility reasons, like myself.

Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

THIS. Erasing disabled folks also leads to/allows for scoffing at or ignoring the necessity of masking at in-person events, accommodations such as online &/or hybrid events, and removes the collective wisdom of disabled organizers (who know their stuff) from everything.
People who are unable to work due to disability aren't in either category, and are often in the worst poverty. Discourse that focuses on the term "working class" erases us, and reflects significant ableism in leftist movements.

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking
the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

Long COVID is a deadly disability, yes, but this also goes for every disabled (incl. chronically ill) person unable to prepare food for themselves, unable to go outside, fetch things for themselves, and must rely on an exploitative and unreliable online system
putting this here. Who’s bringing food to people with long covid who are too weak to cook or are you just condemning them for ordering delivery? Are you masking up to visit friends or making them sicker or just abandoning them? There is a precedence for community care in the face of gov abandonment!
For someone who brought meals to AIDS shut-ins who'd been erased by society, and who lost many friends in the 90's, this is simply astounding.
In a moral & ethical society, it would be free for anyone who wants it. We're the only industrialized nation without single payer/nationalized health care.

I commissioned this fabulous cat sofa from @craftycow.bsky.social, and Ninja has finally decided she likes it! Cathy had to keep it away from her beautiful model Banksy while she was making it, as Ninja Does Not Like Other Cats.
We hear her snoring away happily in the evenings, all cosy.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

so frustrating to see posts rightfully complaining about how federal agents mask to hide their identities, that then refer to covid—which, the gaiters they wear do nothing to contain—in the past tense. “oh, so they’ll mask now, but they wouldn’t during covid.”
“during covid” is right now, actually.
