Disability cheat code unlocked - getting the textable number of an actually helpful wheelchair vendor. He will probably regret this, though. #DisabilitySky

As a wheelchair user, I've never really wanted working legs, but I have always thought an extra hand would be helpful! So I included this tech add-on in my v. drafty sci-fi novel. What are your favorite sci-fi adaptations that enhance disability instead of eliminating? #DisabilitySky #scifiwriters

The reality in this bill's new environment is red states and blue states will cut Medicaid services. As advocates, we must remember it's not our services versus theirs. That's how they separate us, and ultimately cut all services

...taking out a key transfer station without a dedicated shuttle in place is not a suitable alternative and is still a violation of law.

So you're saying there isn't a dedicated shuttle throughout the duration of the modernization the way you have at Dupont Circle? If that's the case, you need a reality check. I have used Metro for 15 years and only one time has a shuttle ever come on request. It took three hours. If you are...

@wmata.com please provide info re: where to pick up the Gallery Place shuttle due to "modernization" of the elevator. The link you shared just says there is a shuttle but when I asked at the station, was told to take a regular bus line. You are in violation of the ADA if you don't provide alt.

This is the info that is missing from your site

This simply states a shuttle is available. For other modernizations there is a specific page that says where to get the shuttle. When that information isn't included, a shuttle is typically not provided by metro staff. Please provide a page like you did for Dupont Circle with that necessary info

@wmata.com what's the shuttle situation for people who need to use the elevator for the next three months at Gallery Place Chinatown, a major transfer station? Why is the elevator out before that information is available on your website?

Netflix's Dept Q, billed as a brilliant procedural, should better be known for how many ableist tropes it's impressively able to pack into 8 hours. Matthew Goode's face remains flawless, however. #HomeboundHotTakes #DisabilitySky

The sharpest minds on "Jeopardy! Masters missed a clue that shapes how Feds show up every day. The Hatch Act is why we triple-check tweets and decline campaign invites. It's how we avoid a sequel to "All the King's Men"

'How are you?" feels like the most inane question these days. What are you asking to be more nuanced?

Sunday poem
I draft the 5 bullets.
A ritual now.
Same font. Same Spin.
Less to say each week

Another program gone.
They call it a sunset,
Like it's soft and natural
Like we're not sitting in the dark

The ones who made it make sense are gone. Yet:
The harm gets softened.
The deliverables are due

Like I know this isn't important in light of our hostile government takeover but ED is the abbreviation for Dept of Education. DoE is Dept of Energy.

An excerpt from my Policy Analysis classwork "The pan-out set to 'Push' is a metaphor for the correction of negative externalities, the loss of diverse ideas and dissenting voices in Barbieland. In this moment, Barbies seize their collective power, forcing a final redefinition of the problem."

DC folks - I'm thrilled about phase out of tipped minimum wage but restaurant fees are so confusing rn. Help me figure out the etiquette! If there's a fee of say 5-15%, described as not a gratuity, but goes entirely to servers and back of house staff, is it okay to exclude that amount from gratuity?
