It kinda does have a ring to it. I tend toward alliteration, it's provocative. PS - did you ever d/l medisafe app? I was thinking we should buddy up there too. I find it invaluable and I think you did look at it yeah? Happy Happy!

It's T-Day across the USA. I've got Coffee, Cannabis and Carl Sagan on deck with a big helping of American History Pie: Arlo Guthrie singing Alice's Restaurant (Thanksgiving Day Massacre) for dessert.
Peace and pie will get ya high!

There's a cultural callousing in many of us in the USA and around the world. I don't like it, and I see that it victimizes rather than values humanity, which is only logical if we were truly meant to self-destruct. It's an ongoing story :)
don't even get me started LOL! I need to take deep breaths between these topics - it's astonishing just how traumatized I feel sometimes by what happened. Then I remember that we can choose to look at our past moments and years from a wiser perspective. It's a long road home. 😊
It has become very clear that it is easy to change the world and very quickly at that. It's empathy and love with which humanity appears to struggle the most. We can't build strong systems if we don't first fix ourselves. Hardest thing for me.

I love IRC. But that's kinda the point - it's a love/hate relationship. I love IRC for certain reasons that I do not love about other network protocols. It's elegant and simple, secure and text-based accessible #a11y Where do you see that nowadays?

the rapidly declining nature at the Federal and Constitutional level in the USA is a huge black cloud. It's daunting, and not what I expected or hoped or dreamed of at all. Ugh. I need to go purr with my Honey Kitty for a while and calm down. My activism stops as too many spoons.
Alda, ya get a gold star (and the coffee-through-the-nose of the day award) for this comment.

I would also add that people need to scale to the complexity of our system now, too. This is very hard for most of us! It's not so simple as "veterans" etc. We are a huge portion of a major continent and have a State's Rights versus Federal Rights to consider. It's massive.
Being here it seems we have some remnants of ethical standards in play when it comes to lawmaking and legislation for many reasons - but if you look at Lainey's works, she isn't about lawsuits for money, rather negotiations FOR implementation of #a11y. That's priceless of itself!

It all comes down to Systems Design. We have the tools and principles and have for thousands of years. Yet, we appear to have trouble scaling the current systems across the world to what we needed yesterday, much less the needs of generations to (hopefully) evolve thereafter.

I hate Twitter hearts. It just doesn't apply to a lot of actual sentiment or purpose. Faulty semantics much? 😱
It's where I think government needs to step up. USA does see that with agencies at Fed and some state level due mostly to Section 508 of the Rehab Act. @LFLegal has a lot of published info on #a11y law if you haven't seen it. I find inspiration when looking at infrastructure. 😊

I agree with all of the above, in my experiences over the last years of whatever work I was able to achieve at one time both for the public and the personal ideals and ethics in which I believe. I hate money. InterNet Worth is meaningless if one is very isolated for #a11y reasons

I have to stave off depression arising from my thoughts about #a11y #i18n #interoperability #browsers #webstandards and all technical comms-related work these days due to such a failure on humanity's part to adopt the best practices of software development and quality assurance.

I did not know that! I know there are allowed exclusions depending on case but laws follow nations typically. Here it's just a deadly mess these days, in all ways. It's very sad and difficult to be here in the USA right now.
