I know a mixed materials artist in Winnipeg who may know someone who works with glass or resin locally, would you like me to ask her?

This is my favourite Derrida piece by a country mile. I recall it fondly, and may even re-read it.
@marikapea.bsky.social a dear friend is experiencing vision loss and is seeking recommendations for screen reader apps for her phone (reading aloud her fb messages and the like) - do you have any fave tools I can direct her toward?
It is an extremely silly show and I am enjoying it far more than I feel is respectable.
I love this list. It's practical and life affirming. Thank you!
Trans day of remembrance. Don't just focus on those trans people who have been murdered by strangers in public. Also remember the trans people who were denied healthcare, allowed to die in prison, encouraged to kill themselves by their loved ones, buried under the wrong name by their families.
This is all true and very insightful, so now we need to find a way to communicate that in a way that communities with low literacy and low trust can understand. The academic left is massively failing here.
Perhaps I should have said "divides" but I see a lot of the academic left just plain ignoring the fact that huge swaths of the population won't even attempt to read what they have to say because the language is too dense and in-group coded, and it's a big problem for communicating progressive ideas.
Paywalled so I can't read beyond the headline, but living in the deep red south there definitely IS a linguistic divide, there is 100% such a thing as "plain speaking" but I think it's rooted in a growing hostility to literacy and expertise.
The Lists feature might be something to check out?
Yeah that's developer level stuff beyond my skill. If you go to your main menu (for me it's 3 lines in the top left corner) and select "feeds" you can subscribe to prepared ones, but idk how to make my own, I fudged around a little but couldn't find anything helpful, sorry :(
You can create custom feeds with certain profiles though, I think, so you could create a feed with only particular people on it, a feed with only news sources on it, I believe? Haven't played with this function much yet but might be what you need!
I don't know if that capability exists -- those of us who were on Twitter for a long time have been pining for a chrono feed since Elmo took over. But you can tap on individual profiles to see only their content one at a time, not sure if this is a solution though.
I can't find either account, so either my search is busted or they've already been nuked. Hopefully the latter!
This is so good! Also, hello, old friend, I hope you're well.
Clinging to this little gem by John K Samson like a life raft. #songfortoday youtu.be/E-z9djgthqE?...
The exception to this that kinda weirds me out is Susie Wiles for chief of staff. She's a longtime establishment strategist who worked for Reagan and was fired by DeSatan for not being enough of a bootlicker. I'm guessing she was hired to cast an illusion of legitimacy. I doubt she'll last 6 weeks.
We are living in among the dumbest and most disappointing timelines, surely, but at least there are cats. It would be so much worse without cats. Quark (tuxie) and Odo (voidfloof) say "treats or fuck off." Frankly, I agree.
No guarantees I will actually use this but I'm here (@ComplaintLine on the hellsite)
