Disability is different than you think. It steals time: hours, whole days, sometimes years. I spend my time repairing audio. I'm a former professional musician. I studied under Nancy Scheper-Hughes, George Lakoff, Avital Ronell, & David Wessel. My grandfather was a labor journalist, and is also an influence.

So Amazon are now using Persona for ID checks too on buyers - my 18-year-old daughter has just lost a gift voucher because having let her add it to her account, they promptly cancelled an order she placed using the gift balance and are demanding she upload digital ID. Attempts to fix this over the phone have failed and long story short, the money she was given appears to be lost unless she's prepared to hand Persona her details.

Rampant growth of satellite mega constellations could ruin the night sky
