"I care deeply about the Organization of American States, one of the institutions that Trump is now trying to undermine. I care deeply about rights for, blind people, something that is is quite possibly on the chopping block. Those things are ways to define America in this moment as something other than what Trump is trying to kill, because that takes the initiative away from him and away from his people and gives it back to us."

"This is the moment for the American people to say, hang on, just a red hot minute here. It's my country. Those are my tax dollars. And this is what I want the government to do, and to reshape the way we approach this moment from saying, I gotta stop this. I gotta stop this. I'm afraid about. I'm afraid of this. To saying, hang on a minute. I care deeply about cancer research. One of the things that Trump has has stopped money for. >

Turns out the keyword is "ride-along". There's a variety of widgets built for strollers that might be repurposed for wheelchairs.

I've tried looking for trailers to attach to a wheelchair, but I can't figure out a search that doesn't mostly bring up trailers to •carry• a wheelchair.

Hey peeps, need some recs from the hivemind: I have a friend who is a wheelchair user who needs a carrier for his cat. His current one is a soft, back-pack like carrier, so the bottom doesn't hang level when he hooks it onto the back of his wheelchair, leaving his kitty smushed into the fold at the bottom. It seems likely this is a solved problem. Does anybody have any recommendations for a cat carrier to hook onto the back of a wheelchair?

I should eat.

But that means cooking.

Okay, that's confusing. I'd somehow misremembered The Goblin Emperor as by Victoria Goddard. No wonder my search results were making no sense!

It's going to be fascinating to see if I can get through the day without murdering anybody.

Okay! Strong consensus points to LibreOffice. Which is probably what my brain was reaching for, but got the other one because it was closer to the edge of the shelf.

Thank you all! Will definitely look into this.

Oh FUCK YOU, Microsoft, what fresh hell is this? This just started turning up today. Whenever I start or click into a different paragraph. And there's apparently no way to turn off the "alert" bug in 365 for MacOS.

Welp. Unless I can learn to ignore it, this may be the thing that pushes me over the edge into using Open Office. (Is that the current best open replacement for Word?)

Regarding the "simpler times" people pine for: I pine for the days when services mostly worked on the first try, and if they didn't work, you could actually get in touch with an actual human to help you get it sorted.

It's lately becoming apparent that my resistance (refusal) to get a smartphone is going to be the 21st C equivalent to my 1970 resolution to never buy a car.
