One can’t totally avoid news from Washington DC, but one can choose NOT to seek it out. I decided to just realize that there would be no good news from this group of pukes, so I just assume it’s all bad and focus on what you and I can do to slow it down. #uspol #focus #mentalhealth

I decided to forgo writing on my computer for a few days. Instead, I’m using my decade-old iPad and a wireless keyboard. The limited multitasking has greatly improved my #focus and I’ve been much more productive since. Writing by hand is even better at keeping me focused, but I’m a faster at typing than longhand, so this is a great middle ground.

I highly recommend this setup (or writing by hand) if you find yourself getting distracted.

Lately, I've been asked more times than I can count how I manage to stay focused while the world seems to be on fire.

Usually I offer a few quick replies, but then, I thought, maybe it’s time to give a proper answer.

So, here it is : How I keep it together when everything else seems to be falling apart.

Inflation, poverty, scarcity, homelessness, government corruption, exploitation - these things are all *effects*.

Capitalism is the *cause* behind all of these effects. The Trump administration is allowed to exist because of Capitalism.

We must attack the cause and stop flailing at all the effects if we expect to survive.

Psyched to shoot my first roll of large format film on my “new” camera from 1917-ish: a Kodak “No. 2 Folding Autographic Brownie” (sez so, right on the handle). Only 8 pics/ roll, cuz they’re like 4 inches! Shooting Ilford 400 speed B&W. Will find a way to use the timed shutter: release once to open, release again to close.

My “new” camera from 1916, a bellows camera extended with the front scroll foot down. Out of focus in the background is my laptop screen and beneath the bellows bed in the foreground is an empty box of black & white 120 roll film.

No, you're not a bad PERSON for having been rude to a disabled person or people before.
But the BEHAVIOURS can be bad.

Yes, the assumption of "knowing" someone else's intent (often negative, from experience) hurts people.

Disabled people get that a lot. Ask me how I know. Yes, disabled people do it to each other too. Almost like we're also human individuals or something. 🙀

(d/Deaf people, I'm not trying to overreach here, sorry. I'm more responding to things other hearing people have said to me when I mention how gd useful and interesting BSL is.)

No, not everyone else wants to "just learn English".

Should they have to anyway, just because it'd be easier for *you*?

Would you like to learn Portuguese, Swahili, or Hindi? Many people speak those languages too.

Except try learning when you can't hear other speakers very well, and it's tonal, and people assume you're being rude EVERY single time you make an honest mistake.

While I'm at it: learn BSL!
(Or the gestural / facial expression language, created by and for d/Deaf people in your region.
ASL can mean American Sign Language or Australian Sign Language.)

Even just enough to say "hello, my name is..., how are you?, goodbye" is a huge step, thank you!

British Sign Language is important for d/Deaf culture across the UK. It's useful in noisy or distance environments too.

Consider pubs, train stations, through windows in a car or building, or communicating near a housemate, child or pet who is sleeping.
(These are examples of 'situational disability'. Anyone can be affected by a situational disability, including otherwise abled people.)
