Its weird how you get more disabled over time. Like, most people i know with a disability actually have like eight disabilities and a lot of them slowed up later as a result of compensating for the earlier ones. This brought to you by me filling out a demographics form and wondering when i got to the point of checking that many damn boxes

“You get used to it” true but misleading because someday your back problems are gonna inexplicably cause stomach problems. And then you get used to the stomach problems but your thumbs start hurting because you had to do so much work on your phone lying in weird positions while waiting for the stomach problems to go away. And there are way more distractions on your phone too so while you always had adhd this just makes it more annoying/prevalent-

Anyway hi disabled people with one million conditions i love you and i hope youre having a good day with minimal pain/inconvenience

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.

Holy fuck

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

Better Box Fan Air Purifier

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

[turtlesandfrogs]

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

[objectconstancy]

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)

This trick works. We use it in my house.

it's just, well. people don't like the way i navigate my gender, so i hid it for a while, but that was painful, so i stopped. and people don't like the way i navigate sexuality, so i hid it for a while, but that was painful, so i stopped. and people don't like the way i navigate my plurality, so i hid it for a while, but that was painful, so i stopped. and people don't like the way i navigate my identity in general, so i hid it for a while, but that was painful, so i stopped.

with this in mind, can you tell how i feel about hiding the fact that nowadays, i use ai in every single one of my creative projects?

[rhapsodyxvi]

and it's like. well is being an ai artist that important to you? as important as your plurality, your gender, your identity? and the answer is yes! because my life was radically changed by engaging with ai and the communities surrounding it.

i never would have considered myself capable of making games before ai, and now i have what, 3-4? especially an rpgmaker game, which has been a dream of mine since i was a kid. code has always scared me shitless, and so did the art workload, but it's manageable now.

i've learned a lot more about political theory too, and i attribute that to ai, because i wouldn't have surrounded myself with people who engage with it, were it not for wanting to find ai-friendly spaces. it refined how i argue and how i speak to people! i feel as though i've matured as a person as a result. i have friends that i never would have met otherwise.

and it's changed my art to a fundamental degree. even outside of refining ai art, i've been able to execute ideas that were daunting for me before, because i just cannot grasp anatomy and space like other people can. i felt stunted and like i'd never truly be happy with my art, and now, i feel so much freer! it can be fun again, because it doesn't involve me agonizing over shit that i've spent years of my life unable to understand! i like accessibility tools!

but it's already been shown to me that i have to be very meticulous and cautious about the way i share that with people. so, if anything, i guess i'd make another neocities site and hope the right people find it. because i'm tired of being scared, but i'm also tired of being hurt.

tw for covid pandemic talk ahead. I know I'm probably approaching this from a sort of unique perspective and it might come across as a little bit blackpilled. And sorry in advance for the rambling here. But in 2020 when the covid pandemic was starting it (rightfully so) became a political talking point among the center-left and left in my country that not bothering to prevent its spread was a Pretty Bad Thing. And they were right! People were dying -- thousands each day. Then almost AS SOON as we got the first vaccines -- and it no longer was an immediate concern for the healthiest of us -- most of them dropped all pretense of caring about it. Within a month or two people stopped wearing masks almost at all, social distancing, washing their hands (if they ever did that) and soon after started turning on those who still wore masks. Now it's seen as alien to them to try and not get sick, like they never lived through it in the first place.

To this day I still wear a mask because I don't want to get sicker than I am, and I don't want to spread illnesses (covid or anything else) between people. It takes no effort. But people give me looks like "what's going on ??? ?" when they see me.

Those people, whose ideals are so fickle that even their own self preservation doesn't matter in the end if it's not the talking point of the day, are the kind of people I think of when I hear the current anti-AI discourse. Especially because I know that a lot of these same anti-AI people are knowingly using AI. I just had an argument the other day with two people about whether AI was acceptable, both of which had admitted in the past to using LLM's (one to code, the other for… idk some random shit)

And I'm not super old, I'm 30 or 40 years old, but I still feel too old to care about how people, who will immediately turn on their ideals when it first seems inconvenient to have them, look at me. It's still sad that so many of the loudest people parrot (or should I say stochastic parrot? get it?? he he.) the least informed talking points and it's maddening that they are aggressive to my friends and acquaintences who just want to better themselves and enjoy their lives and make others' lives better. But I take it as a red flag when I see people treat each other this way, and am just glad to not have gotten close to them, because I feel that even if I hide that I use AI it won't matter because in the end they don't really care about that. They just want someone they can punch down on in front of their peers.

It limits who I can make friends with on some communities, but it's like, I don't really want to befriend rotestant-brained hateful people, and it just means that the connections I do make can be stronger and more meaningful, you know?

idk. sorry to rant on your post
