Hi there, long time no write. I'm trying to post more regularly again.

Still reading a whole bunch of zombie crap. I seem to be suffering from choice-paralysis. Can't seem to decide what to read or watch or listen to or do most anything. I listen to music by telling Alexa, play music. Then music I like gets played. I don't know where the info comes from on what I like and what I don't like, but she's remarkably good at picking stuff I like. So there is one choice I don't have to make.

I did binge-watch, Orange is the New Black. I had a difficult time getting through the first three seasons, but after that I really enjoyed it. Some very impressing acting on that show. It feels like the end was wrapped up a little too quickly. I get the feeling they were counting on another season, but didn't get it. There were too many storyline beginnings that just ended with a little resolution but not really.

I'm working on getting my study uncluttered. Our floor back there is deteriorating and we need to make some repairs. I'm also working on getting a wheelchair; a new lift, and I would really like someone to look at our electrical. We still have some pretty old connections that I would like to upgrade. I'm looking towards getting solar panels on the roof and hopefully some kind of power backup. Our electricity is fairly reliable, but does go out for short periods of time two or three times a year. Given how much I rely on electricity, I'd like some backup.

I've got a project working on for The Center for Accessible Technology. I'm going to be maintaining their website for people to review, suggest or publicize adaptive tech for people with disabilities. They used to have a fairly thriving community, but it petered out in the last few years. I'm trying to reorganize it and re-energize the place. I'm not sure I have the technical expertise to do what they seem to think I can do. Most of the meetings I've had with them about it has been the trying to reduce their impression of my abilities. Still, it's something to do. That's about it for now hopefully I will post again soon.

PS
loracs and I attended a protest in San Francisco of several different groups: people with disabilities, size acceptance folk, LGBTQ etc. demonstrating solidarity with immigrants to this country. It is evil and how we treat those trying to escape the atrocities being perpetrated in South America. Just to separate children from their families and locking people up for no reason except that they wanted to be safe.

me, advocacy
