I think that I'm overthinking a potential journal article; my head is pounding...or is that normal? 🤔

I just read a LinkedIn post about an event at Mechanic's Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts. I wondered if this used to be a mechanics institute (www.britannica.com/topic/mechan...) These organizations (really libraries) were popular during Victorian times. 1/x

Just a reminder that cash works better than food donations. Food donations take up volunteer time to make sure you're not donating something inedible (happens far too often) and also food banks get better discounts so their money can go farther than yours can

40 odd million people use SNAP. 7 million WIC. food banks are already way down because of funding cuts. It’s going to be catastrophic

In short, we do not know exactly what will happen with November SNAP benefits if the shutdown continues, but we do know there will not be enough money available to fully fund everyone's EBT card. www.patreon.com/posts/snap-w...

Gus: Come on, Shawn! We can't just put a ladder up to the window---it'll never work! Shawn: Gus, it's almost shift change, those French guards haven't had wine or baguette in hours! They'll be totally distracted. Gus: How dare you say 'baguette', you know they weird me out! Despereaux: [...]

Has anyone ever received a CPACC certification? Did you find it useful in general and to your career?

Phenomenal night tonight. Clear, steady, and dark. This is pointed straight up and a few minutes exposure using my phonecam. Cygnus is "upside down" and the Milky Way is pretty obvious.

Watching an SNL episode in which Weekend Update referenced a 2015 political event. How long have Colin Jost and Michael Che hosted Weekend Update? 😳

I need the serotonin, so I'm just watching this on repeat for the next 45 minutes.

He didn't abandon his family like his father abandoned him.

"Friday’s total of 466 layoffs across the education dept also impacted the Ofc of Special Ed and Rehabilitative Svcs which oversees programs that support millions of children and adults w/disabilities nationwide, according to sources speaking to various outlets." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Home from work. Had a good day; just ready to watch BBT and relax.

Kids with disabilities just lost their lifeline‼️ If the states can handle it themselves ….why are states paying FEDERAL taxes?

Map nerds, look who's here!

I got my hearing aids back from the repair shop!! I've missed them SO much.

I'm really tired and a bit worn down by this week. Can't relax and read because I'm at work. Does anyone have any good news that happened to them lately?

A week later, and I'm feeling *slightly* more confident about things. Mostly because I'm making a list when I encounter a problem, so that I'm organized and can create a document for my team; also because I've reached out for guidance and they were incredibly nice and helpful.

I just got home from work.and haven't had a chance to check the news (I'm about to check it). Did anything major happen today?

I let slip that I was feeling a little overwhelmed at work. Now my supervisor says not to worry & that some projects don't have to be done right away. I can see where some can be delayed, but I'm still embarrassed. Has anyone else voiced their feelings & then felt like an idiot?

Anyone who works in accessibility: when you started, did you feel like you were in over your head?

If you've done in-person research at any of the following presidential libraries in the last 8 months, can you please follow me/contact me—soon—for a story I'm working on (can be off the record)? Hoover FDR Truman Eisenhower JFK LBJ Ford Carter And either way, can you please share this request? 🙏

actually this is a good time to mention that i'm talking to my dean right now about spending my sabbatical studying digital accessibility in educational settings so that's exciting!

Does anyone use Equidox with/without Adobe? I have a question about workflow.

BREAKING | Huntington’s treatment slows disease by 75% giving hope to families

Had to tear myself away from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue, because I'm reading "The Tenant in Wildfell Hall", and I need to finish my chapter before exhaustion sets in.

I've seen "The Anatomy of Melancholy" mentioned at least twice this week; I might try to get a copy after I finish Anne Bronte's "Tenant of Wildfell Hall". Has anyone read either (or both) of these? What did you think?

Trump: "I think we're gonna have something very very big coming up soon on autism. Autism is totally out of control ... we're gonna have a news conference early next week on autism."

I dropped my phone and in classic fashion, I had a minor anxiety attack when going to the phone repair shop. It will take few days to order the screen, which is fine because I've been dealing with it for few weeks already anyway. A few more days of waiting will be okay.

I feel like shutting down for a few hours (deep-sleep nap). This week has been a lot.

Psychiatry has yet to identify a single bio marker of “mental illness” but sure let’s do high tech physiognomy that sounds fun

"I practice self-care by turning off the news periodically, and stepping back from the world. I made the realization that in my fight for justice, I was hurting my own mental health." Autistic academic TC Waisman on self-compassion and resilience, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/09/cher...

Consider your site content that is routinely updated, like weather maps, Covid charts, or stock graphs. Screen reader users encounter maps and charts where the image has been updated but the alt text hasn't. This can lead to confusion. Always update alt text when updating images.

Today was a *day*. I'm trying to get caught up on work (back from one week vacation). Trying to keep up to date with changes. Trying to navigate complex social situations, and engage in avoidance when necessary and appropriate. 1/2

There's a good chance that I'm going to visit Ireland in a few years with a friend. I need to get my passport and something called ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation). Is there anything else that I'd need IRT documentation? I've never heard of the ETA.

I watch too much Law and Order: SVU. I'm at an airport waiting for my flight. Some guy asked a woman if she would go into a restroom to look for something his wife might have left behind. I felt creepy, but I waited and watched the restroom until she came back out safely.

Deciding whether to eat my feelings or spend the energy trying to be happier. I'm on vacation but the anxiety is a bit much.

I have one work thing to do tomorrow, and then I'm off for a little over a week. I'm exhausted.

I just got off work. I'd normally asked what I missed, but seeing "Venezuelan strike" trending doesn't exactly fill me with hope...

We're all filled with anxiety/panic sometimes without a distinct reason, right? Maybe too much is going on, but I just feel uneasy. I could take a clonazepam, but I've heard that they're potentially addictive, and I don't like risking anything. Maybe if I just sit here quietly I can relax.

Presumably accurate (which is important), yet hilarious!

So has he been seen, or has he not? Reading conflicting news.

I got a bookcase into my room, and rearranged things in my room to make it more organized. I also replaced the air filter in my car. I think I'm done for today. 🤣

LGBTQ students deserve to be themselves at school.
