I added my thoughts plus my recent audiogram to the top of my high frequency hearing loss piece from 2024, after my updated hearing test last weekend.

Mouse died. Can I find the spare I bought back in July? Can I buggery.

Now stuck using the crappy wifi mouse from my laptop until World Destroying Megacorp can get me a new one tomorrow. And I realise how much I have my mouse setup to factor in my fine motor issues, usually.

Please boost this link to our "Benefits Counseling" doc. It has general usefulness to disabled and/or poor people, but might also come in handy while UC refuses to bargain in good faith. #FairUCNow #UCAccessNow #labor #strike #disability #AccessNeeds https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Um9UEJizN_3-kEvkDedRdaPwOyR5PsLv3JKslFI-djg/edit?usp=sharing

COVID cases going up in LA. This is a good time to remind folks that being outside doesn't mean you can't transmit COVID. Wear N95 masks, distance (esp if someone decides to eat/drink). Getting ppl sick means fewer people to work strike shifts. #FairUCNow #AccessNeeds #UCAccessNow #strike #labor #UniversityOfCalifornia
