#Joke Saw this on FB.
I was sitting here eating lunch when I realized: cottage cheese is not actually, in reality, a cheese. It's just a curd to me.

Disgustink. A seriously awful and nausiating odour. "My friend just came out of the bathroom, the smell that followed them was absolutely disgustink!"

So, I've noticed a lot of uses of made up words on my timeline. Creativity is awesome, and creative wordSmithing is totally cool.. So, what is your favourite made up word and it's definition, so the rest of the class can understand it.

If you are blind and have multiple computers, and especially if you live on the edge and don't have a monitor hooked up to one of those computers, having a capture card really is a game changer.
I have a cheap one that I need to replace. But even with that cheap one, I was just able to call Aira from my laptop and select the capture card as my video device, rather than my camera.
Then, I hooked the capture card up to a mini PC that needed an OS reinstall, and the Aira agent was able to read the display output in real time.
From that point, it took us about 30 seconds to get into the boot menu of the mini PC and select the USB drive.
Even without account for Aira, having a way to reliably capture the output of a computer is infinitely useful. All you need is an app that can take a picture or video from that device and interpret it as-needed. That could be an OCR reader, an AI describer like Be My Eyes, or a calling app so you can ask a friend to look at it.
It certainly beats needing to position the camera in front of a screen, and in the case of the mini PC, it saves me from having to set up a screen in the first place.

ProxyCaller: Phone Call Support

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network has created yet another fantastic resource for anyone who needs it: Proxy Caller Project. What is it? It is a resource to help those who have a difficult time making phone calls. Photo by Antoni Shkraba Studio on Pexels.com Many disabled people struggle with phone calls due to communication differences, difficulty with mouth speech, anxiety, or any number of other issues that interfere.

We can't individually reply to everyone struggling, so we're going to write this post instead 🥺

You do matter.
If you think you're a bad person, your mind is lying to you.
- No actually bad person worries that they're a bad person.
You are worthy of kindness, friendship, and love.
You do deserve joy and happiness.

We know we can't reach, help, support, or save you all, however much we might wish we could 😞

What we can do is write this post.

If it helps at least someone, even just for a moment, then it was worth writing

Want a medication alarm that won't stop until you take your meds? May I suggest training your pet? Start by taking your meds at the same time every day, after taking your meds, reward your pet with whatever motivates them. After a week or so they will start to pester you to take your meds at the time you have trained them too.
