New from Home | Sideways Innovations

Okay, Okay, RantWoman is REALLY BORING about what color mobility cane out to use out on the mean streets. White. Reflective but not lighted up.

Memo also to lighting designers: people have all kinds of different vision issues. Totally blind people probably don't care what lighting designers do except if they want sometimes distractible sighted people to see them before running into them. RantWoman, thouh, has enough vision to find any form of light, be it mobility cane or cute landscaping that shines up from below what she can see extremely painful and dangerous. Just don't do it. Please.

But RantWoman digresses: A cane that plays music and can change colors could be REALLY fun in lots of social situations.

Watch the demo above and check out the deals at Home | Sideways Innovations

RantWoman would like to try one just to see whether the extension in the top section satisfies her preference for longer canes. Stay tuned.

There. Now that RantWoman has touted some cool seeming gear, a few more #WeekWithoutDriving comments.

RantWoman has a very fitful relationship with Instagram. More elsewhere but it was really FUN to see people from all kinds of places talking about their local #WeekWithoutDriving efforts.

RantWoman does in fact need to think about another mobility cane. TWO different canes in the Ambassador Thwack role have gone AWOL. One is definitely in the Weed Whackin Wenches' car. He was found after the Wenches dropped RantWoman off and headed back home. We are due to be reunited at White Cane Day.

RantWoman swears that she had the other AWOL aid when she got out of a different car but NO... RantWoman still hopes he will turn up. And in the meantime....

Multi-theme Binge Blog incoming

RantWoman feels some binge blog energy coming on.

Happy #WeekWithoutDriving

Also on deck:

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

STAY TUNED.

"Off with their heads:" NOT a great personal safety strategy

 

Isn't Stevie bright enough to hire a security consultant to develop a more robust safety strategy than "off with their heads?" Not an endorsement of harassment but Stevie seems like a target rich environment. Ask a DV survivor how hard it is to nail suspects sometimes

Stevie, harassing phone calls? That pesky #RuleOfLaw stuff. Possibly everyone swept up in ICE nonsense is thinking "karma's a bi*ch"

I hope the fired agents sue everyone they can. Someone needs to get Stevie a copy of ne of Gavin DeBecker's books. Stevie and his wife should get new VERY private phone numbers. Then they should let the old number collect whatever comes in so MAYBE there would actually be enough to prosecute.

There are some passing references here to things that can come up in domestic violence situations so RantWoman is sticking in a shout out that October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

President #StableGenius promises AI companies will police themselves

 

I love, Love, LOVE how President #StableGenius announced that the FBI will have a role in overseeing things to do with #AI the very same week that we are hearing public comment about how the FBI got its PeopleSoft database hacked, possibly because they either did not install a fix for a known issue or did so only partially. I feel so safe! And the Senate #GOP clearly does not need AI to hallucinate at full speed.

Brava to Sen. Klobuchar for her calm.

And a fierce rant:

Diplomacy works about fentanyl precursor chemicals

 BBC report about how BIDEN era work with China to cut production of fentanyl precursor chemicals cut OD deaths in both US and Chine.

Diplomacy works--for now, until someone else gets into the business
