RantWoman highly recommends Timothy Snyder's entire series of interviews which she herself is busy digesting.

Leadership?
The country is staring into the wonders of the #Midterms2026.
Quite a bit of the media commentariat is trying to put a finger on just what went wrong for the #GOP.
How much time do we have? And where do we start?
The lame duck Congress is reconvening after fleeing town weeks ago to avoid dealing with certain personnel matters.
And the employment status of the US Secretary of #WarCrimes is top of the agenda.
For anyone who needs a reminder of why on earth anyone would impeach the Secretary of Defense, read on.

The Court of History on voting rights and a new Jim Crow as undone by the midterms
#Midterms #SCOTUS #BlackRepresentation #BlackHistory
RantWoman really is not enough of a historian or legal scholar to delve very far into the themes here but definitely recommends this channel for people with more of a historical bent.

Message from Christin: Our Own Judy Brown Featured in Perkins School for the Blind News Article
October is National Blindness Awareness month and National Disability Employment Awareness month. Judy’s story about blindness and being able to continue employment after losing her vision is a featured story on the Perkins School for the Blind website.
Blindness is not a barrier to a job – Perkins School for the Blind
“I was working PACU at UW-NW when my vision loss suddenly occurred. So, it was a huge change for me on both a personal and professional level. I was lucky to have an employer who could work with me. I was able to leverage my many years of nursing, my education, and my ability to adapt. Most nurses have those qualities. I have gone on to be a leader here in Washington state in the low-vision and blindness community. I am the chair of Government Affairs for the Washington Council of the Blind, I am on several King County and state of Washinton committees for access to healthcare, disability advisory, disability voting advocacy and advocacy for accessible medication labels.”

If WCB were to offer some technology training, what would you want?

Any cool new devices?
And bring whatever else.
