Fine, fine. My kink is happy surprises that are slightly out of people’s comfort zones. The thing they never knew they always wanted.

If you are a student, parent or teacher and not sure where to begin your 3D printed math exploration- there are free resources here and lesson plans here! ski.org/project/3-ps-3d-perc… (And even more in Make Geometry, and Make Calculus)

The 3 Ps of 3D: Perception, Pedagogy, and Practice for 3D Printing | Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research

3D printing is increasingly used in STEM education. How can it be made usable by students who are blind or visually impaired?

I bought this amazing blouse and when I tried it on my teen commented that the ensemble was “very Lwaxana Troi.” Which he thought should be cautionary, but I was pretty excited about.

I have lived long enough to have a “I do what I want, and I’m not seeking your approval” vibe. Total win.

Describers rejoice! Fewer keystrokes, faster #AudioDescription. It’s the little things that can have big impact.
YouDescribe@SKERI_YD6 Apr 2022
#AudioDescription just got easier thanks to a NEW feature at #YouDescribe: streamlined track labels! Now describers can highlight text in the script, then select inline or extended and the track is labeled! No more superfluous typing (unless you really want to).
On National Assistive Technology Awareness Day, thanks to #NIDILRR and @NARICInfo for funding and spotlighting Dr. James Coughlan and Brandon Biggs's Audiom project, which applies audio display conventions from gaming to make web-based maps more accessible! #AT @SKERI_RERC

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.

If you run into a pleasant person in the morning, you just ran into a pleasant person. But if you run into pleasant people all day, bitch you might be a delight.

My cat dying under my office chair as I work from home pretty much captures the whole mood of 2022.

I gave her some pain meds (absorbed from the oral mucosa, nothing by mouth) she had leftover from surgery three years ago and she stopped yowling and panting. It’s the best I can do without vet support.

Took her to the kitty ER in the sunset. They would not let me be with her, so she died in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers. My sweet girl.

I cried today because the cleaners killed the spiders in my bedroom. They have been there quite some time, happily keeping me free from mosquitoes and flies. I don’t have window screens, so a good balance of spiders is important.

What happened last night at the Oscars didn't upset a lot of white people because of the "violence." It upset us because it disrupted the comfortable tradition of allowing Black people to exist in white spaces and be violent ONLY according to our terms and expectations.
