Well, I have to hand it to the supervisor of the customer service email at JDate. I mentioned wanting to make a complaint about needing to CALL to settle my specific issue instead of using the more accessible email for it, and when I checked my email at the end of the day?
They had reactivated my account over email rather than receive an accessibility complaint. YES.
Seriously, when someone who...
On a TRAIIIIINNNNN
Into Philly for an awards dinner at Temple’s Institute on Disability. SAU1 is getting an award (which the SAU1 president Oscar will be accepting) so this should be nice. Then TRAIIIIINNN back to Harrisburg in the evening.
I’m thinking about making sculptures or multimedia art works out of things locally- plants, found objects, rocks, maybe eventually incorporating bones and taxidermy of local critters. thoughts? (I’m in Northwestern PA, if that helps. So besides flora, fauna, and rocks, there’s also a lot of oil and coal stuff from anywhere between 150 years ago to 50 years ago that we find out in...

They don’t allow this specific function to be handled on email. So I’m going to have to get SUPPORT from a friend or colleague TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A DATING SITE. Heaven forbid someone else who needs relay need to use this function, or who have disapproving staff. Just. wow.
So I signed up on JDate ages ago, but had no responses and kinda let it go.
I tried to sign on, and it’s saying my account was suspended and that I’d need to call customer assistance to get it turned back on. Customer assistance says to email customer assistance through the site. UM.
I have no idea why my account was suspended? o_0

Nintendo’s announcement (and YouTube’s acquiescence) is a disaster. It hurts Nintendo, and it hurts the independent creators who through their Let’s Play videos create a unique and valuable experience of a game.
I completely agree. Nintendo is being greedy, stupid, and shortsighted. Nintendo makes money by making great games and systems to play them. YouTube makes...

Bad and good news
The bad first, then the good, then what they mean to each other.
Bad: As some of you know, my family members are my primary support folks. I have a hard time with my executive functioning enough to need support in the house keeping. I’ve had life threatening medical issues because of lack of support in the past.
More relevantly, though, is that because of my difficulties with...

I didn’t know anyone was ordained under the age of twelve.” and she asked me what ordained meant and I explained and then she said “Oh, well, no, my wife and I were married by the slide, but we’ll be happy together anyway.”

If you are going to try and (mis)use your holy book to shame LGB peeps, at least use the stories that are actually about that, even if your argument is total bull shit.

Cultural Appropriation: Let's Talk Food
diggingforroots:
I suspect that this would fall under “unpopular opinions” but, yes, I think you can be culturally appropriative of food. I’ve never heard/seen anyone talk about food specifically as being culturally appropriated, but I highly doubt that my thoughts on this subject are unique. I suspect I just haven’t seen some wonderful work done by others. Also, I am relying on the theories and...

The sad moment when you realize how alone you actually are. No one ever messages you on Facebook first or texts you first or anything.
