Portland has a pretty severe case of “it’s just one step/a small lip”
My supervillain origin story is going to be city curb cuts (and the failings of them)
While everyone is discussing mobility aides I ought to put out a rec for this cleverly folding rollator I got a few months ago. It folds so small! Which if you've ever had to get a rollator in and out of a car and know how annoying they can be is a huge plus. I find it comfortable: rolloy.com

I braved exhibit opening rush and have exchanged bracelets with @seananmcguire.bsky.social I have a few more bracelets and a bunch of ribbon collector ribbons tomorrow I’ll randomly give them away.
That boring time between conference events that’s too short to go anywhere or do something else. Someone send cat pics.
Alas poor rollator you served long and well. ( the airline is attempting to get it fixed tomorrow , fingers crossed )

We now enter that glorious period of fostering when kittens eat on their own and just need fattening up. And cuddles and play.
Fun family fact, my great-grandfather, who went to college in the 1910s, later got an important government job in his western town largely because it required a BA and he was one of the only people in town who had one.

Describe you favorite games poorly: The fate of the world depends on your fashion cred. Plushie collecting the MMO.

A rogue brain threatens the world, but you will not fight it until you have resolved every emotional and interpersonal problem in your friend group. And of course…
Had occasion to try Georgian black tea (country not state) and now need to find more, it was very nice. @fridaytea.com have you had Georgian tea?
For a show that spans multiple floors Masquerade in NYC was shockingly well planned from an accessibly standpoint. They had wheelchairs, you get a dedicated butler to position you, there are cast moments unique to the accessible path. It was wonderful!

You know, you kinda expect when flying first class that your checked bags will actually get onto your plane. Not a later one.
New question to ask surgeon when @niq.aeli.net gets her deviated septum fixed.
Mar Hicks@histoftech.bsky.social · 7mo agoWhen AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose.

Well now I know what I'm going to be talking your ear off about when you get home from work tomorrow. :)
niqaeli torres, child of disaster@niq.aeli.net · 10mo ago- it's not fractally fucked on a universal level - the Authority do not have direct counterparts - their powersets aren't useless if they want to contribute, while also not breaking the board but it seems like it'd require 'go back home' to absolutely not be possible and… why would it not be?
