#DidYouKnow: Playboy Magazine has been a surprising ally in the fight for American readers' access to #braille. 🐰 #BlindNewWorld (Story by @Quailty for Playboy ⬇️) playboy.com/read/the-fight-t…

The Fight to Keep Playboy in Braille

For more than a decade, the federal government published Playboy in braille. Congress defunded it. Blind readers sued—and won.

Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code. Hear the story: link.podtrac.com/phns92ui

A Covid-cautious lesbian bar in Western MA made customers wear KN-95s. When management decided to relax the mandate a few weeks ago, all hell broke loose. The community they worked so hard to build turned on them — calling them ableist, racist, even eugenicist.

When an NPR station got their first blind applicant , it felt like “a rock got thrown in the pool.” So they called Andrew Leland for guidance. That moment led him to write a manifesto on how blind audio journalists & their colleagues can work together: transom.org/2026/why-and-how…

Lol i had a full time job and we made n+1 back then on nights & weekends. I lived with a roommate & paid my rent through money I earned. The point is that this little mag has grown so much it can actually pay the people who make it now. Not everyone who works in media is rich.

academic writing is like teaching in that its effects might be seen only years later or not at all. your niche article probably won’t be the key to a future groundbreaking theory, but it might be. to labor under such delusion is both necessary to human knowledge AND romantic!!!
Daniel Hadas@DanielHadas211 Oct 2025
It's rather strange that one of the core activities of academia—and, as far as I know, this is true across all its branches—has become the writing of texts that no one will ever read.

A new Yale study finds a striking rise in self-reported cognitive disability among U.S. adults — especially younger people. What role might Covid and Long Covid be playing? We urgently need more studies. news.yale.edu/2025/09/24/gro…

A growing number of U.S. adults report cognitive disability

In a 10-year study, U.S. adults reported growing rates of problems with their memory, concentration, and decision-making abilities, with the figure doubling among the youngest cohort.
