Picture of my dumb face as I take a selfie from the most typical spot you will see me... an airplane seat. 💺💚 Picture of my feet revealing that I am in the place where you will most likely see me posting: an airplane seat. 💺

Not an easy watch/listen, but important new video from @deviantollam.bsky.social about the way a disabled trans prisoner has been abused and deprived of rights in federal prison. There's both a request for legal help/advice, but also a way to send letters to Kara to try to help her morale.

@prisonculture.bsky.social youtu.be/4bYm4VIEAkM?...

Do you have anyone in your network who has experience with the kind of advocacy that @deviantollam.bsky.social is looking for here? BOP is screwing with Kara's First Step act and even medical.

@aoc.bsky.social because this involves NY as well.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

When you were typing this, you must have known that the reaction by the whole community was going to be negative.... But were you surprised by just how negative the reaction has been??

This post shows so little self-awareness and it's just unbelievably disappointing to witness.

You have added a great deal of interesting content to this discussion, I will say!

I had to deal with the security mess of those (same brand I think) on my campus.

At least initially, no Auth required to view in elevator cameras OR send messages to elevator occupants. And to make it worse, the url to view them could be incremented to view cameras all over the world.

Just great.

You two look so adorable there! Also the photos I saw of the drinks and snacks were so tempting!
deviantollam.bsky.social
Oh it's totally all right to drop the link here. I like when people learn! Also, damn, I looked so different even just one year ago.
deviantollam.bsky.social
Yes, especially with certain potential elevator occupants
deviantollam.bsky.social
You are correct. What sort of accessibility circumstance might arise when somebody needs to answer yes or no questions but can't use the emergency phone?
deviantollam.bsky.social
That is basically correct, but for very specific circumstances

Time to see who's been taking notes in class, kids. (I did a video about this same thing last year) 😏

Who can tell me why this elevator might be asking you "Yes" and "No" questions that you could answer using the buttons seen here?
Photo of an elevator cab's car operating panel which has -- in addition to buttons where you can place floor demand to places like the mezzanine and the subway platform as well as controls like Door Open and Door Close -- buttons simply marked "Yes" and "No"

The reason these buttons exist is tied to the display screen which is also on the car operating panel just above those buttons.  This post is asking folk if they know what these buttons are.  (Answer coming soon in this thread) Selfie of me in a NYC MTA station on the platform neat the subway cars.  I just disembarked from the elevator seen in the other photo in this post.

I think that that James Comey could probably just like check into a hotel room at the Holiday Inn in Albuquerque or something using somebody else's credit card and I'd be willing to bet today's FBI is a level of competent that would result in him being unfindable and unarrestable.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.
The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say
The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.

This is why, beyond the dishonesty of it, I won’t be cajoled into performative politeness by people who don’t actually care what you think and simply want to censor what you say. To be clear, refusing performative politeness - e.g., “bless his family” is not the same as being a racist piece of shit.
A graph of Google searches for Kirk's name shows that most people were not familiar with the guy before his death, and have quickly moved on.
