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: disabledginger.com/p/nassau-co…

Today in Techbros failing to understand consent:
The Microsoft overlords parachuted into management of the 5e, 5.5e and dnd brand are automatically updating character sheets made using DnDBeyond.
Just a simple tick box of "would you like to do this?" And they'd get a lot of happy compliance but, they don't get consent and won't care that you just don't change someone's character sheet without permission.

• Fixed: With VoiceOver enabled, some DMs simply would not open, no matter how much double-tapping you did. VoiceOver was built for increased accessibility, not to make messages literally inaccessible. Our sincere apologies.

J'ai passé 4 jours à retoucher 3 photos que j'ai prises de ma tante harpiste qui va bientôt mourir.
Elle voulait des 4x6", alors je suis allé chez #JeanCoutu pour les faire imprimer au comptoir… pur désastre.
Même si je prépare du ratio 6x4 « au pixel près », leur équipement crop quand même, et ajoute de la grosse compression JPEG low-bitrate (alors que j'avais apporté des PNG); couleurs faussées, perte de détails partout.
Suggestions pour un bon service d'impression #photographie au #Québec?

Viele meiner Patientinnen notieren ihren Zyklus im Kalender. Manche benutzen auch Apps.
Falls ich dafür auch eine App benutzen wollt, empfehle ich euch dringend keine aus dem GooglePlayStore, denn die enthalten alle Tracker und sind unzuverlässig. Außerdem wollen wir unsere intimen Gesundheitsdaten nicht durch die Welt posaunen.
Also, falls ich eine App dazu benutzen möchtet, kann ich "Drip" aus dem F-Droid Store empfehlen.
