Another Bluesky update, still no solutions for low vision users using large text and/or screenreaders.
Beginning to believe this site isn’t serious about accessibility, despite the nice words they send me in reply to my feedback.

Hey, busketeers, here's another fun fact from my trove of interesting tidbits and trivium:
No combination of words that mean "This is why it's not cool to me when people make fun of Trump's weight" also mean "Please tell me your personal exception to this, I so yearn to know why it's okay for you."

United we bargain; divided we beg. I'm sticking with the union, and the union's sticking with me.
As we wade through another round of “Did this just add weeks to the strike?” headlines, remember:
The length of this strike will be determined by one thing and one thing only — how long it takes CEOs to accept reality. A deal can be made in a few days as soon as they get serious.

No one knows how much longer it will take the CEOs to accept reality and bargain in good faith to make a fair deal, because no one can know how long it will take them to overcome their egos and do what’s right.
But that day is coming — sooner than they think.

OK this is a good question. the thing about restorative justice is that it's in the hands of the person who was HARMED, not the person who did wrong.
at the moment, both of the men who have done wrong are scrambling to preserve their reputation. they are making no genuine inroads at fixing things

still takes me about 80 minutes to walk 4 miles and i berate myself for not being faster because Stephen King's THE LONG WALK posits a deathmarch competition set around the concept of people walking 4 miles an hour for days on end. like, i'd be shot on hour 1, which just seems disgraceful.

The "starving artist" myth is one promoted by people in power to romanticize the forced austerity of artists and writers -- meaning, to convince creators that being paid less than they are worth is simply part of the expected narrative when it shouldn't be. (See also: the WGA strike.)
The biggest enabler for creativity is stability. I wish that was made more central to the creative narrative. Figure out what your specific needs are to limit stressors and enable "boring" time and work to achieve that as hard as you're practicing your art.
