P.S. You're very poetic and philosophical in your writing. I really appreciate that about you as much as the dedication and hard work you've offered so much to out community. Here's to the poets and dreamers my friend!

I agree. I'm proud. I'm wounded, but I've always been far-sighted literally and figuratively. This is bigger than our lifetimes if we as a species survive, it will morph and change. The preservation of equitable access (not just #a11y) is my most deep concern now.

Right? I do struggle with that. As if this binary ridiculous partisanship of hatred and vilification, blame and no accountability, lies instead of truth could be "fashionable."

That's you, Brad. That's our #webdev #webdesign #a11y #opendata #openGov #openSociety #OPEN and authentic core community. That's the true heart that we have still beating but has been seemingly lost in the cacophonic roar in large part caused by the very work we've done. ❤️💚💙
Sounds like you're swimming through deep waters, discerning the forms deep beneath the surface and up above. Big hug on your journey.

All I want for #Hanukkah is 8 days of peace to honor life instead of death, as Hanukkah is a warrior's battle celebration historically. But, if we could pull of 8 days of real light over this world, maybe then 12 more, then again, light will become us. #HappyHanukkah

I know! It drives me mad to be honest. It's a self-imposed (maybe) loop of idea>act>goal but usually is maligned by that insatiable need to self-satiate. These are the kinds of thoughts that keep me insane btw ;-)

Thank you Benoit - quel poème! Haunting. I actually read it first in French and understood most of it! THank you for expanding my world.

Yep. First blood (done already, I'm drained hehe), then scans, then if not definitive last step is bone marrow biopsy. Gather the evidence. If he's on it, it could mean a normal life span with less risk than I live in now! THANK YOU for the love n' hugs! xo backatya to infinity!

The paradox and dissonance of human cognition, eh? We are what we are. Is it possible to evolve a common sense detached from our belief systems, creeds, races to form a unified definition of Honey and Poison is the real question now, I think! :)

Awful will always be awful, but I have lived long enough to see that what is awful now is what takes us to the next steps of the journey, whatever that is. We'd like to control this, we Homo Sapiens Sapiens, but we are not yet wise-wise enough to know we can't. I love you. 💚

New Oncologist is a rare blend that Dr. Swart also had which saves lives: Great caregivers AND real medical scientists. Working a new theory now that my bone marrow makes cells but spleen is destroying em. If so, spleen comes out, life expectancy goes up, as does quality of life.

This is an Internet emergency. Less than 48 hours left until the vote to kill #NetNeutrality. #BreakTheInternet to demand that Congress #StopTheFCC. Take action: BreakTheInternetProtest.org via @IDLtweets

Perhaps not stopping work sooner then diving back too soon were mistakes from which I must learn. I wanted to work again! I wanted to pay you back. I wanted to enjoy the passion of our Web. I still do! Those were always the joyous times and for them I am grateful to all. ❤️💚💙

Husband's horrid death x medical debt x getting fired x family who didn't step up at all despite me nursing my mother for 1.5 years of hell and left me nothing but the cursed wedding ring from my father. Worthless and weird, that's my legacy.

They delayed it 28 days for the new oncologist to get his determination in as they like things as up-to-date as possible. The delay sucks pocket-wise but the fact they've gone this far and gave me wiggle room is promising for sure.

Did I not work hard? Was I not generous of heart, mind and spirit? Was I harmful to more than less? What retribution is this, what sin? I want to know. If you know, tell me, so I can correct it and shut up. The math doesn't work and broad algorithms are best left for specificity.
