128 Democrats cross aisle to join Republicans to block impeachment bill brought by Al Green & AOC against Donald Trump for his unconstitutional attacks against Iran.
Seriously, they have a chance to impeach Trump for one of his many crimes against humanity & the people of the US, and Dems take the side of the oppressor & give permission for these abuses. The list includes Raskin, Pelosi, Wasserman-Schultz. quislings every one.

Someone on Reddit asked for the old Braillenote startup sound yesterday.
I never used a Braillenote myself, I went straight from Perkins to computer. My first computer lived on a trolley in a cupboard, but by the late 1990's I was rocking a Toshiba with a speech synthesizer on a PCMCIA card. That was absolutely amazing. The portability! Fabulous.
Oddly enough it wasn't until I started working at a school for the blind in 2013 that I saw more than one Braille notetaker in use. They were still on Apex's back then, there were a few mPowers kicking about too.
This week's freelance question is from @menelion: How do you find clients as a freelancer?
Warning: this is in fact a sub-toot.
A viral article about « getting off US tech » that mentions email, office suites, music and video streaming services, search and maps… but NOT the publishing platform where the article was posted.
Spoiler alert: it was Substack - the ensh*tt*f*ed Nazi bar supported by A16Z that platforms and profits from far right content.
Substack alternatives: Ghost, Wordpress, BeeHiiv, Buttondown. I use Ghost & Wordpress and LOVE them

An die GPN-Orga wurden (leider) eine niedrige einstellige Anzahl an Skabies-Fällen (Krätze) im GPN-Umfeld herangetragen. Die herangetragenen Fälle haben sich selbständig isoliert und in Behandlung begeben.
Wir wollen mit dieser Mitteilung an alle noch einmal Aufmerksamkeit und Sensibilität in der Community stärken.
**tl;dr: Nach der GPN gab es einige wenige Fälle von Krätze (Skabies). Wenn du 2-5 Wochen nach der GPN starken Juckreiz (besonders nachts) oder Hautausschlag bemerkst, gehe bitte zu ärztlichem Fachpersonal und informiere deine engen Kontaktpersonen. Offene Kommunikation ist wichtig, um die Verbreitung zu stoppen und Stigmatisierung zu vermeiden.**
Skabies wird durch die Krätzmilbe verursacht und ist eine ansteckende Hautkrankheit. Die Übertragung erfolgt in der Regel durch engen und längeren Hautkontakt (mindestens 5-10 Minuten), zum Beispiel beim Kuscheln, Flauschen, Händchenhalten oder gemeinsames Schlafen in einem Bett. Auch das Teilen von Kleidung, Handtüchern oder Bettwäsche kann ein Risiko darstellen, wenn diese kurz zuvor von einer infizierten Person benutzt wurden. Ein schneller, flüchtiger Kontakt (z.B. Händeschütteln, simple Umarmung) ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend für eine Ansteckung.
Symptome treten allerdings erst zwei bis fünf Wochen nach der Ansteckung auf, bei einer erneuten Infektion auch früher. Typische Anzeichen sind:
Starker Juckreiz, besonders nachts im warmen Bett.
Hautrötungen, Bläschen oder kleine Knötchen, oft an Fingerzwischenräumen, Handgelenken, Achseln, Bauch, im Genitalbereich oder an den Füßen.
Mitunter sind feine, dunkle Milbengänge auf der Haut sichtbar.
Was tun bei Verdacht auf Krätze?
Wenn du den Verdacht hast, dich angesteckt zu haben, oder die genannten Symptome bei dir bemerkst, ist es wichtig, schnell zu handeln und vor allem deine (Haut-)Kontakte zu informieren:
Informiere Kontaktpersonen: Sprich offen mit Personen, mit denen du engen Kontakt hattest (Familie, Freunde, Mitbewohnende etc.). Dies ermöglicht es ihnen, ebenfalls auf Symptome zu achten und gegebenenfalls einen Ärzt*in aufzusuchen. Offenheit und Kommunikation sind hier entscheidend, um die Ausbreitung einzudämmen.
Geh zu deine*r Ärzt*in: Nur ein*e Ärzt*in kann eine gesicherte Diagnose stellen und die richtige Behandlung einleiten. Krätze ist sehr gut behandelbar, aber eine unbehandelte Infektion kann zu weiteren Beschwerden führen und die Ansteckungsgefahr erhöhen.
Hygienemaßnahmen beachten: Befolge die Anweisungen deiner Ärzt*in bezüglich der Behandlung und ergänzender Hygienemaßnahmen (z.B. Waschen von Kleidung und Bettwäsche bei mindestens 60 °C, gründliche Reinigung von Textilien, die nicht gewaschen werden können).
Leider ist Skabies häufig mit Stigmatisierung verbunden. Wir haben die Erfahrung gemacht, dass gerade queere Betroffene, die nicht in heteronormativen Beziehungskonstellationen leben, bei ärztlichem Fachpersonal schwer Unterstützung finden. Besteht bei bekannten Kontakt daher bitte daher um so stärker um Untersuchung und Behandlung.
Weitere Infos findet ihr hier: rki.de/DE/Aktuelles/Publikatio…
Gemeinsam schaffen wir auch hier einen Umgang miteinander, der nicht stigmatisierend ist, sondern konstruktiv und allen ein präventives Handeln ermöglicht.
