Many thanks again to Spijk Selby and Rocky Hill Forge (https://rockyhillforge.com) for an unforgettable evening that was #metalAF.

Disabled people have fought for decades to get remote work accommodations.

They allow us to remain in the workforce longer.

They help us do our jobs while also taking care of our health.

The early days of Covid showed just how easily companies could make these accommodations happen, yet they were ripped away in favour of “back to normal”

The human rights tribunal of BC just found in favour of an immunocompromised employee! They ruled employers MUST accommodate remote work.

This is huge and precedent setting!

Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day - FuelArc News

Watch this video of Tesla’s Robotaxi, and let me know what you think: In a 22 minute drive, I saw: All told, these early rider videos are a mess. This isn’t beta testing.

@wendynather I have! I have! And it's beeping awesome. Unmovable things moving like playdough.

@wendynather

We visited a blacksmith and made a miniature horseshoe, if that counts? 🙂🤷‍♂️

@simonzerafa I should think so 😇

@wendynather

Cool. I am experiencing validation and a measure of contentment 😁

This too shall pass 🫤🤦‍♂️

@wendynather I took a couple classes and then built out a small forge set up in my garage for low key blacksmithing. It is loads of fun! I need get back out there not that summer is here.
