But, but, do blind people really do photography? Sure. Now take me to the volcanoes

Still a few days left to enter the IcelandAir "Really bad photographer" contest, and RantWoman is trying to demonstrate unique skills.

RantWoman again encourages everyone who might be intrigued or even just slightly interested to read the contest guidelines.

Really bad photographer | Icelandair US

But, but RantWoman keeps talking about vision loss and accessibility mixed in with bad photography commentary.

Yep. Plenty of visually impaired and blind people are very interested in photography, both as a craft and as something essential for documenting  realities of daily life that Need To Be Dealt with. Lots of people in the blindness community get very good at describing our wildly varying visual experiences. Readers who need some RantWoman perspective, please consider checking out the Death By Powerpoint topics.

But, But this adventure sounds like it might involve a lot of outdoor activity and Ambassador Thwack the Badly Behaved White Cane and Anger management consultant has a thing or two to say.

Thwack may have a thing or two to say but RantWoman is in charge. Would RantWoman pursue some sighted guide options? Will RantWoman rely on AI or call-in services? RantWoman will be interested to know what is available in Iceland. Plus, RantWoman wonders how much choice a person will have about where to visit....

RantWoman, do you actually know anyone in Iceland?

RantWoman does not know anyone in Iceland but does know a very wise accessibility hero originally from Iceland. RantWoman met this person a long time ago at the sort of mentoring event where people with different life timeliness and blindness experiences get together to network, share perspectives.

These days, RantWoman encounters this person from Iceland on the internet. He turns up in online demos of people using screen readers, text to speech tools that enable blind users to navigate around the Internet, or at least to do so better than without screen readers. One reality of screen reader use is the playback speed of the speech. RantWoman tends to fall asleep when listening too long to normal speed screen reader speech and runs her own screen reader quiite a bit faster. However, many blind people working in tech or finance can be found on the internet demonstrating screen reader speeds a lot faster than RantWoman.

Please note: a screen reader is not the only thing necessary for online accessibility: websites, apps, portals all need to be developed with some standard features to ensure that screen reader users can find and operate the same functions as other users, some of whom might have other accessibility concerns. The people and organizations who do this right are truly accessibility heroes.

The real reason RantWoman considers this acquaintance a hero: RantWoman's most recent Google search turned up a LinkedIn profile showing a job at a large financial services organization and lots of  connections to other names widely recognized in the online accessibility world. These are the people who not only persist in their work in their own organizations but also insure that organizational websites work for the likes of RantWoman who just wants things to work so she can do other things sighted people take for granted, in this case including managing whatever earnings there will be for 10 days of work after one figures out what all expenses to take on to make the trip a success.

Speaking of Go Bags, Holidays, and Bouncing around like Tigger.

#wawx #AtmosphericRivers

First RantWoman sends heartfelt holiday wishes to everyone displaced by recent flooding and / or struggling with cleanup. May there be joy in spite of all the struggles.  Closer in, RantWoman knows two people having lumpectomies for the holidays, a friend having a root canal, on top of what RantWoman is about to recound about RantMom. This year, all this is just going to be what is.

RantWoman feels VERY lucky to live warm and dry and far away from flooded roadways, communities, and agricultural fields. RantWoman watches evacuation orders and sometimes checks in with people who might be affected. RantWoman realizes she can be more robust in meeting the moment as far as one part of her network and has filed the observation for now. Mostly RantWoman listens to news, exchanges weather info with a couple friends. RantWoman is also collecting such data as others want to share about travel disruptions, extra long paratransit rides, and related experience.

And then a family member has a medical emergency. RantMom has been showing signs for awhile that a chronic condition is wearing on her. Friday after monitoring some concerns for several days, Little Sister decided that "bouncing around like Tigger" and hands fluttering sounded sufficiently odd. Little Sister persuaded RantMom to call the consulting nurse. The consulting nurse told RantMom to call 911. RantMom lives far away from direct flooding risk but in an area where a lot of first responders are dealing with flooding related deployment. RantWoman has no idea of the response time. RantWoman just needs to offer the following observations:

--look up Go bag via your favorite search engine and plan accordingly.

--if you are a senior with recurring reason to need to be scooped up by paramedics, don't wait around for disaster weather forecasts. Consider having a Go bag just in case of more specific first responder needs. Maybe also have a list of things to grab at the last minute.

In RantMom's case, her Go bag needs to include charger for phone (or other devices) and charging container for hearing aids. One may be able to grab such things before the paramedics arrive but it is probably not wise to expect paramedics to be able to help grab necessities, but having some kind of a plan seems like a good idea to RantWoman

In RantMom's case, it took a couple days before Irrepressible Nephew, the only driver in the family was able to take Little Sister to RantMom's to retrieve the needed items. The next parts of the story get to be told another day.

"Bouncing around like Tigger" makes RantWoman smile. Ads for ridiculous sugary cereals were one reason besides mindrot programming that RantMom for a number of years had strict limits on the Rant children's consumption of Saturday morning cartoons and weekly series. More recently, RantWoman notes that 20 years ago RantMom was finishing chemo for her second cancer treatment.

Flood waters. Flood waters. And magnificent Snoqualmie falls

Snoqualmie Falls, WA flood stage 12/10/2025

RantWoman has the luxury of being warm and dry and in a comfortable position to watch water gush across Snoqualmie Falls.

Someone needs to say this and RantWoman ardently hopes other people also say it:

EVERYONE who needs or offers help deserves respect REGARDLESS of nationality OR immigration status. 

EVERYONE also needs to know "You drive a car, not a boat," though judging by some videos RantWoman has seen, the message is not necessarily sinking in.

Federal assistance matters and use of military resources in disaster relief is the ONLY appropriate use of the military within the US.

PS ICE, keep your clueless undertrained thugs THE HELL OUT of everything to do with this disaster. For one thing, there are so many dangers that RantWoman is speaking bluntly out of safety concerns. Swiftwater rescue is NOT a time to be checking people's documents and if people need to evacuate, they need to evacuate.

For another thing, RantWoman remembers all the accounts of essential but undocumented crews working very hard during recovery from Hurricane katrina. The same is likely to be true in Western WA.

Trump SCREWS UP BAD as DISEASE SPREADS

The short version: FIGHT AUTHORITARIANISM get your babies vaccinated. Get advice from reliable sources. Reliable sources do NOT include either President #StableGenius or #BrainWormBob, the ghoul currently atop the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Via multiple posters on X, the WA state and West Coast Health Alliance about the Hepatitis B immunization for infants.

The West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) strongly supports that hepatitis B vaccination continue to be routinely offered to all newborns, with the first dose of the vaccine given within 24 hours of birth for newborns weighing at least 2,000 grams (4 pounds, 7 ounces), followed by… pic.twitter.com/Re9qhqlmjP

And more on HepB AND Measles

And SPEAKING OF the land of X / Twitter / Elon's sandbox: inexplicable reasons to carp about this strong recommendations:

A certain newspaper columnist from Spokane who takes offense at the phrase "Pregnant PEOPLE." 

What? Aren't women people??? RantWoman assumes in the case of this complainer that the issue is transgender people having babies. NOTHING about whether or not the person giving birth is transgender changes ANYTHING about the epidemiology or the dangers of Hepatitis B. NOTHING.

Then there are the voices who say that universal vaccination is a sop to the pharmaceutical industry because only people who test positive at the time of a baby's birth need to get their newborns vaccinated.

1. If a baby is being breastfed, the person doing the breastfeeding can acquire HepB while the baby is being breast fed.

2. RantWoman should go look for some numbers but RantWoman would expect to see that the money saved from cases of HepB that don't occur more than justifies the cost of universal vaccination.

But will there be enough snowpack?

RantWoman will try to come back to the question: how on-target was this forecast?

RantWoman's posted comment.

Weirdly, I believe that one of the Black women Charlie Kirk referenced DID say that they benefited from Affirmative Action. Almost every Black person I met at Princeton somewhere along the way had to deal with crap about them not deserving to be there.

When the Skull and Bones society at Yale started to admit women, there was a quote about that was the way to ensure they were looking forte smartest people at Yale. I know it probably smarts to hear that looking outside of entitled circles is a good way to find the smartest people available, but there we are.

And Charlie Kirk is still a bizarre human being whose appropriation of the Bible does not at all line up with what I understand.

And RantWoman's weirdo questions of the week:

RantWoman has done enough ushering at different kinds of events that at some point, questions of herding people around and what different event attendees might need wander through RantWoman's mind.

Tonight's questions:

RantWoman has lost track of a link featuring a young woman interviewing to guys who are probably about her age. The guys were at the #CharlieKirk UVU eventand both reported about what happened after the fatal shot was fired, basically panic and everyone trying to flee, including some people who fell. RantWoman's first question: has anyone tracked injuries among the people who fell? RantWoman can think of lots of reasons to ask about this. Enough said.

One of RantWoman's instincts in many crowd situations is to look for paths through or out. This is partly because RantWoman and Ambassador Thwack prefer not to plow into people. People who have been to active shooter drills also get taught to think of either places to hide or ways to get away. RantWoman got only a fleeting look at the crowd. It did not appear that anyone had done anything to ensure there were aisles in the crowd. One commentator commented about the number of officers possibly being too few for the event. RantWoman has no opinion about that except that perhaps 10 or 15 student ushers could have helped ensure that there were aisles.

Next since RantWoman is around lots of wheelchair users and people who need signlanguage interpreting, RantWoman wondered idly where wheelchair users would have been and whether anyone requested sign language interpretation.

RantWoman will simply leave the wondering questions here for now and try to go about the rest of her commitments at least for a bit..

A "wholesome" break from RantWoman's current legal YouTube fixations: MURDER and attempted murder.

 One indication that RantWoman is rapidly approaching an age that can be described as "older than dirt:" RantWoman has never really gotten into binge-watching, say, TV series. 

We will not discuss whether or not a raging YouTube habit counts.

The last couple days, RantWoman has so badly wanted to escape everything to do with the President and his disagreeable Cabinet shredding the constitution, that RantWoman has fled to....drum roll, please...Court TV.

RantWoman barely dipped her toes into the sentencing of Brian Kohlberger for 4 heinous murders of University of ID students.

RantWoman thanks Mr. Kohlberger for pleading guilty. RantWoman was not looking forward to a whole summer of gruesome testimony and trial related social media.

RantWoman realizes this path probably will not ease grieving families gut wrenching grief.

RantWoman would not mind never again hearing Brian Kohlberger's name and having celebration of lives every year for the 4 murdered students as often as they need.

RantWoman had ZERO desire to even dip her eyeballs into more info about the sentencing than a short news snippet.

The other legal situation RantWoman is binge watching: the case of WA vs. Ali and Ali. Videos are widely available on YouTube via CourtTV or another called Justice is a Process, as well as J.D. A lawyer explains.

The next several posts will feature RantWoman opining about different aspects of the case. RantWoman had been holding off with commentary until verdicts have been returned. Verdicts have now been returned and sentencing has been set for August 18. That is still miles to go before we sleep. So please read on.

Condemning last night’s violent and illegal occupation of the IEB – Office of the President

Readers may wish to skip the rest of Protest Curmudgeon's rant, but RantWoman needs to get a few things off her chest based on some heated moments from her career as a campus political activist.

The rant can be distilled as

1. Please more about Gaza.

Slogan of the moment: People can't build a future for their children on the mass graves of other children.

2.  WHAT THE F were y'all thinking?

Did y'all REALLY mean to generate television footage that can help Sinclair Broadcasting flood the zone or at least RantWoman's YouTube feed with dramatic videos, all the same length, and headlines such as "intense night..." "about 30 students arrested...."

If you're going to set things on fire, MAYBE show that people have learned something from CHOP, be prepared that the Fire Department will, reasonably, want police escort.

Re property destruction inside the engineering building, was that REALLY necessary???? RantWoman will be interested in bodycam footage .BUT if a protest is going to wrack up $1million in damages, perhaps protestors owe the world some kind of manifesto. For examples put the names Daniel and Phillip Berrigan into your search engines. Be as self-righteous as you need to be, but PLEASE try to keep the focus on Gaza instead of making the campus look a little too much like the precursors of Gaza.

3. If RantWoman were going to Make NONVIOLENT Protests great again, here are a whole bunch of observations and suggestions.

If you plan to occupy a building, plan ahead about how to take care of bodily necessities while you are inside..

Do you REALLY need to trash the place?

A clean well-written manifesto is a must to help everyone stay on message.

Is beefing with the authorities really necessary? How does that benefit the cause?

Can you PERHAPS plan an event that does not immediately make police reach for their riot gear???

Now please take your pick of video options.

Thank you for your attention,

Sincerely,

RantWoman

Messaging as reported feels a little off. That is, RantWoman can imagine describing October 7 as a demonstration of assymetrical warfare: people who literally have no other path to defend their interests confronting a much more powerful counterpart. This terminology might come up in the world of academic political science  

But oops, wait. Friends don't let friends commit genocide--or even collective punishment. Alert observers will note that every time there is a hostage exchange, there are a handful of hostages released and dozens of Palestinian prisoners. And so many other details of life as a Palestinian that basically amount to collective punishment. And now President Orange Man with his capricious executive orders is basically inflicting collective punishment on all kinds of organizations because of individuals he does not like. In this case the point is penalizing or even threatening to penalize academic institutions that try to make environments were people can learn and speak of difficult topics from different angles.

Dinner and Plague

RantMom at Christmastime
proudly in a new chair

RantWoman has been meaning to offer up a #Pandemic plus 5 years piece. RantWoman would prefer NOT to be offering up today's post.

Yesterday the RantSisters received a normal conscientious email from RantWoman's new abode: a small number of residents and one staffperson had tested positive for #COVID.

RantWoman did not immediately pick up the phone and demand "Mom, are YOU all right?" Instead RantWoman decided that either RantMom would share news herself or it could wait until the RantWomen's nightly phone chat. On the call, RantMom definitely sounded drippy and congested. She also mentioned knowing of the cases among her neighbors. AND she mentioned another common COVID onset symptom, as well as plans to stay home from a Tuesday volunteer gig. At this point, RantWoman had to say "MOM, GET TESTED."

Tonight, when the RantWomen chatted, RantMom sounded a little worse than yesterday. RantWoman's experience from her own long-avoided encounter with "the 'rona" is that the cough and effect on a person's voice are different than a regular cold. That was definitely true for RantMom who ruefully acknowledged what RantWoman suspected. RantMom tested positive and this time has symptoms!. RantMom also said she had eaten dinner with one of the other cases that tested positive a few days ago. 

Bah! It's not like RantMom would ever let anyone tell her not to eat dinner with her neighbors. RantWoman also considers it a blessing that the dining companion this time is alive and recovering, not falling over dead.

So now RantMom is isolating. Meals come to her. She puts on a mask to run out and get mail or toss out trash. RantWoman would SO like to run over and give RantMom a hug. RantWoman is scratching her head about whether she can and should deliver something supportive. The RantWomen also talked about masks. Neither of us is crazy about paper masks. Cloth masks are imperfect but some mask is always better than no mask.

Maybe another day RantWoman will go on some about:

--the assortment of different masks still lurking in coat pockets and bags

--how good it felt to move along some mail order shoes that never fit right to their destiny in the rest of the universe.

--assorted meditations about cooking and technology

--the colorful but not always perfectly fitting blouses RantWoman spent some of her #Pandemic stimulus payments on.

--the new bed from Amazon and why RantWoman is definitely peeved with Jeff Bezos on Constitutional and political grounds.

Tonight, though, it's all about RantMom. If you pray, prayers would be appreciated.
