@internet_times 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!!!

Windows Subsystem for Linux remains one of the coolest things @Microsoft has made in the last decade. It is also great for Linux accessibility. Thank you to whoever has driven it inside the company. @MSFTaccess @Windows

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…

NYPL’s podcast Library Talks brings you into conversations with artists, authors, and changemakers. In the latest episode, @BerkeleyBlink discusses his memoir ‘Connecting Dots: A Blind Life’ with @quailty, author of the memoir ‘The Country of the Blind.’ on.nypl.org/42gyvYS

We only appear in Crip Camp as...secret message passing devices. Which is hilarious because if you see what's being signed during Crip Camp, it's complaints about hearing folks (which does include hearing disabled people)

CODA movie: OMG I’m hearing my parents are deaf and I’m scared they won’t like it that I love music. Actual CODAs I meet: Yeah mate we used to play music at like 3am because my parents slept like the dead. And they got me drum lessons and my friends were so jealous.

We were honored to host Pulitzer Prize-nominated @Quailty, author of The Country of the Blind, as the keynote speaker of the Northern-Western Conference of Talking Book Libraries. @PerkinsLibrary patrons can borrow Andrew's acclaimed memoir in audiobook, braille, and large print.
