Ugh! I always turn off their "anonymous" data collection options, so maybe I unwittingly had a "hand" in that 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you - I will look into that!

The mobile taskbar is the main part of the OS that I find I use differently than peers. Audio and touchscreen input reduces my reliance on the keyboard (which causes hand cramps).

Tech support said the more the Microsoft Feedback hub is filled with people complaining about this ableist change, the higher priority the fix. If you're so inclined, please and thank you. 2/2

Windows 11 does not support alternate locations for the taskbar. A vertical taskbar on a touchscreen accommodates my twisted hands, and there are loads of others needing this feature returned. 1/2

any medical grade mask is a good mask, but not all masks do everything you need them to do— learn your tools so you can use them well.

again, this is why wearing a mask is one of the most compelling acts of daily resistance you can engage in. if you changed almost nothing else but start wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, you’re arguably doing more material mitigation to keep you & your community well than this administration.

joining the chorus of folks asking for care with language re: ICE covering faces—yes, they use nonmedical face coverings, meanwhile, the right has been&continues to be against mask/respirator use to protect oneself &others to the extent of bans—we must make the distinction AND normalize medical use.

Are #OKDems preparing to take full advantage of the gubernatorial GOP candidate shit show being handed them? How about some actual attention from the national party for a change?

I wonder if they are on the radar of @tobymorton.bsky.social

Everyone sharing and complaining here is also calling and/or writing their elected reps every day, right? Even the ones you didn't vote for? Especially the blue dots in red states?

You're not all just screaming into a void, right?

Why do RFK Jr protestors not mask in public spaces?

American Amnesia is like apple pie but more popular and without allergens.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

Find a video or two on layering potatoes. I use recycled food grade buckets with added drain holes.

The difficult part is how disability and chronic illness are used as justification for Ai. The community wants and needs it for medical applications, accessibility and early detection.

We don’t want generative Ai. Disabled people need imagination to survive, why would we need it to create?

Markwayne Mullin in a white button down and jeans crouched behind a row of chairs, afraid for his life as The Capitol was being attacked by a violent mob of MAGA people on January 6, 2021.

I wonder how this guy feels about all those pardons?

There is currently a free for a limited time, PBS viewing of The Avett Brothers performing on Austin City Limits. I recommend watching it around noon ET today if there's a TV near.

When someone meets you, in an office or wherever, and they are masked, the answer to, "would you like me to mask?" will ALWAYS be yes. Just put the mask on, no need to ask. #DontAskJustMask

“People traded their forevers for right now, and right now is over.”

Oof.

A Reddit user in 2024 on the shortsightedness of ignoring the multisystemic impacts of Covid, including on the immune system.

i’m glad this opinion seems to be catching on— can we talk about wearing masks now?

Disabled people have been warning the world about what was going to happen for ages.

But nobody wants to listen to us.

Much like Cassandra, we know the future because we have seen the ugliness ourselves, but nobody understands they need to be listening.

Post from writer Tom Nichols: If you want to subvert a democracy, the first three institutions you try to capture with loyalists are the military, the justice system, and the intelligence community. Trump is on the offensive against all three.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
