@grammargirl good to know especially as I plan on ordering citrus fruit trees soon, with said plants mostly fruiting in late summer, fall & early winter - with fruit juices wanted most in for summertime use. This should work on preserving them until I at least can do that further processing. #Farming #Food

@big_louse Well yes & some will likely also mutter "but at least before this we had food & housing, granted we also had many starving & many homeless but at least give us credit for the first 2, you ungrateful children!" ..

https://t.co/9VnYQbGMFg The stairs I've been trying to build are absolutely not working, so I'm going to need to get a scaffold to get up to the roof top, through the hatch hole I've made, to make the roof repairs. The scaffold is going to cost about $200. As I'm disabled as is my husband, who'll likely be getting cataract surgery soon, I am doing this on my own, hence the need for more tools and equipment.#DisabledNotDisposable #MutualAid #HomeRepair

@big_louse @FlashMobOfOne I agree, when I think about the main way that this should be done, I think about how food & medicine distribution centers for a general strike should be guarded with people ready for govt entities/agents looking to steal said supplies &/or harm people coming to distributions, with nonviolent picketers continue to walk said picket lines.

@aral They're most often opposites, when it comes to codified laws that are sizably enforced.

@aral big tech is assumed to be used & usable by everyone, including disabled people, which often locks/blocks us out over it's financial costs, hardware , software & reliable high speed internet & it's thusly becoming a larger & larger set of "hidden costs" of medical care. Open source often has that cost of hardware & reliable high speed internet problem, plus they, like big tech, in general expect that all people can easily use the hardware fully.I hate it but the choice is generally between "do I want to deal with big tech who's actively trying to harm me as a user for a bigger profit margin/more profits, or FOSS which continually likewise does harm but it's generally less, never really born of malice but rather mostly over exhaustion & sometimes ego as they race to do things "bigger/better" & forget what they view as the "detail for later" of #accessibility? Small tech is the 3rd option but it is indeed the smallest & even as I'm looking hard - until I find more I can use, it's going to be what I use the least. Mainly on the accessibility front, I need better quality hardware & for that hardware to work with open source or small tech software, as I want freedom from big tech & yet not to end my computer use.

@aral it's far from the only long-term accessibility problem either. I keep looking for a Linux OS to put on a smartphone that I'm not pretty much guaranteed to start physically breaking no matter how careful I am with my phone within a week but so far none are compatible with the rugged phones that would hold up with my handling. Ankle/wrist weights will combat my neuropathy enough for consistent walking & likely knife use but won't stop my dropping of small things like phones.Overall the pattern keeps repeating - loads of energy & time spent fighting on wording of how to direct the complaint or actually fix the problems- but not much if any on actually solving the #Accesssibility problems.

@protonprivacy In preparation for you pushing this through over objections by your customers like me, I'll be looking to transfer my service to another provider, as the use of generative #AI is completely unacceptable to me.

@aral builders too... I can't count the number of times I've seen places - internet & in person alike- which say/claim to be fully disabled accessible & in fact have few to no accessibility features/aspects to them..... Because I don't believe anyone should "count" on this, if all they've got is a disabled sticker on a broken button for an electric door opener or in front a narrow parking spot 1/2 or more filled with potholes... Or online if they've just got a little note saying "call us with any accessibility needs you may have" on a site that can't load properly on smartphone - to the extent that not over 1/2 their phone number is even visible.🙃Far better to tell me "no", so I can move away faster without injury, especially as sometimes - in person - I don't need the accomodations - so telling me what you have, without ridiculous claims of "fully" may actually get me to your business... instead of just seeing a mess of a parking spot in person, which has me driving away without even trying to park ...

@aral no, but some maintain & increase their economic wealth via said activity set or at least claiming they're engaging in said activity -- like Bill & Melinda gates & Warren Buffett. ..

@foone this is why I often don't use the alt-text feature itself, but rather include an image description in the body of my post instead. #DisabilityAccessibility #technology

@aral or by blocking all their attempts to get help, as it's already being used by department of social services to process SNAP paperwork, social security paperwork, new patient paperwork for many medical clinics & some banks.*If you can't use any money & can't get any medical care, then you're not going to survive very long in our society.

I don't even want to guess at the specific costs of fixing things anymore, as supply costs & tools keep rising, but minimally we'll need $10,000 to even get this house in decent shape again.

So the plan that was just enacted by the #Trump administration to bomb #Iran was created during & by the #Biden administration, tell me again why ballot casting, especially for any GOP or Dem, is actually going to help prevent wars & improve our society?!
