If you order a medical device, and they say they are going to expedite it but that is early on a Friday, then the device should have gone out on Monday at the latest.

But here we are at the end of Monday and it has not even left the company.

I did all of this!

Now I am going to go clean the cat box, clean out the fridge, get the trash ready and do the dishes then make a cup of coffee and play a game.

I didn't write as much as I wanted but that is ok.
I have gotten so much done!

I now have a Signal.
I joined a new Discord, which I never do because accessible ppl forget to be accessible there.
I wrote out some concerns.
I exported my CSV files on Fedi.
I've DL a PW manager, for the family to test out.
2 loads of laundry, in process.

For those in America who will be in rooms with TVs tuned to football during this long Thanksgiving weekend, either by choice or not, you have a great chance to explain accessibility concepts. No, this is not a joke. Yes, this is based on past experiences. Yes, it has totally worked!

Still haven't gotten it back on.

That's the thing with menopause. It doesn't make you not care. It makes you completely unable to tolerate your own mask you have created, and anyone who can't handle what you have been hiding under it.

All while caring so much it hurts.
I have 363 glorious days until the next horrendous, nauseating, triggering, performative Thanksgiving holiday.

Fuck yesterday. Fuck everything about it.

My way of getting around this was to pretend I was just a dumb girl who couldn't possibly know anything about anything.

As I got older I stopped doing that and now I'm "being combative".

For asking why. For even asking if I MAY ask questions, for clarity.
PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

PLEASE

we're *all* begging you

full URLs don't belong there either

not only does it defeat the purpose of hashtags and links (clickable), it sounds like hell when read back

before you post alt text, ask yourself "how will this get read back to me via screen reader, and will it make sense?"
Do not put anything other than a description of what is in the media in your ALT text.

Hashtags DO NOT BELONG THERE, please- I'm begging you.

I know it's nothing I have control over unless I see it directly, but if you're transphobic, racist, misogynistic, or a Republican, I don't feel like you deserve to have access to me.

I don't want you following me. I don't want to see your comments. You've violated the social contract, leave.
November 26, 2025 at 4:51 PM
It's a holiday weekend so I probably won't be here much.

Find me elsewhere!

PSA that bookshop.org does have e-books now yes but it is still shit at screenreader accessibility.
If you are able to use it, I love that for you, but it is not available to all of us.

“I demand everyone stop posting about what I don’t like and start posting about what I do like” is a hell of a kind of posting on here that cracks me up, like buddy, we are living through an acute experience of hell, everyone is fucked up, we’re all posting through it

This is bait, but I'll still play.

Is it still a tool that would have been great for accessibility but is sucking the planet dry, used for nefarious purposes, and being weaponised against us? Wtf do you think, Armin?
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I am not exactly cold, but I can't seem to stop shivering.

I know this is a trauma response and the only thing I can do is wrap myself in blankets because my brain thinks it is below freezing, but it's not.

I need a pillow fort made out of heating blankets.

This day has ended with me sitting with a blanket over my head.

It's nicer under here.

Flat tire. Fine.
Get the spare. It's flat.
Call around, find a tire, get a ride.
$262.06 tire. 😢
Go pick it up, an hour and a half wait.

Come to find out their inventory was wrong and we can't get the tire until tomorrow morning.

No one is happy.

In the name of Shameless Self-Promotion (possibly a registered trademark of the @kenschneck.bsky.social School of Things), I'll be on the radio next Monday, and then on a podcast in January.

So, if you want to keep up with all the EAPM (and me) that you can tolerate...
