I'm very curious what municipalities might do if pressured by people with electric cars who do not have on-property parking at their homes

Disability Rights New York has filed a class action lawsuit against Nassau County seeking an injunction to stop the enforcement of mask bans.

This is exactly the kind of action we need to see happen against discriminatory & ableist mask bans.

Law enforcement should not be the arbiter of who is “sick enough” to legally wear a mask. Many disabilities are invisible - and police are NOT doctors.

For more on the Nassau County mask ban and why it’s discriminatory - as well as why everyone (disabled or not) should be allowed to wear a mask - read my article here: https://www.disabledginger.com/p/nassau-county-ny-makes-masking-illegal

10 Things We’ve Learned About #PFAS in #CascoBay

Last updated: April 17, 2024

"Concerns about PFAS have surfaced as more of #Maine’s lands and waters are tested. Before 2023, no one had gathered samples from the marine waters of Casco Bay yet. Last year, #FriendsOfCascoBay and Bigelow Laboratories for Ocean Sciences partnered up to test for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Casco Bay. We’ve gathered the results from our first year of samples and have learned some interesting things about PFAS along the way.

1. We found PFAS at all 18 sites we sampled in Casco Bay in 2023.

2. Research shows PFAS to have serious and long-term health consequences.

3. PFAS have been manufactured since the 1940s.

I've been using the same drawing tablet for ~16 years. It's a gen 1 Wacom CINTIQ 21UX. I kept telling myself if Kitsune Tails did well then I'd finally let myself buy a new one. I feel like that might be in the cards soon? It's a weird feeling.

Also, there really aren't drivers for this thing easily available anywhere, I salvaged my old drivers from the bottom of my previous computer's Downloads folder. Is there an archival place I could send that to for future use by other people?

📣 Those who resort to bullying, especially targeting people with disabilities, reveal their own cowardice.

🗣️As Mahatma Gandhi wisely said, “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”

Let’s stand up against bullying and promote kindness and empathy instead. ☮️✨

Currently weighing my options as either

1) move to another payment processor, lose most of my patrons, and risk this all happening again next year or

2) just stop collecting money and eat grass

I honestly would rather have no income at all than arm companies with the capital they need to exploit me at a scale I cannot defend myself from.

* okay but do not eat grass even as a joke, it will destroy your teeth

In mid-20th Century, assumption was there was a single optimal physique for Olympics. Now, as understanding has advanced, bodies are hyper-specialized for sport-specific niches, leading to a “big bang in body types.” Put another way, one element of US success at Olympics is that our diversity is literally a form of strength. https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/big-bang-of-body-types-sports-science-at-the-olympics-and-beyond/
