Dash kept waking me up, so I am awake but not functional. So here's a picture of his bushed out tail.

[a video on Peertube about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

When a mother couldn’t find a place willing to employ her son Liván, who has down syndrome, she decided to create one.

Liva Café in Havana employs people with intellectual disabilities and autism, with support from specialists in psychology and special education. For workers like Livan, Karel and Richard, it’s a place to earn experience, build relationships and show what they can do.

Cuba has long had policies aimed at integrating people with disabilities into the workspace. But as the people in Liva’s story explain, significant barriers remain — particularly when it comes to finding employers willing to give them an opportunity.

It's the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I went down to the break room where I was working because someone told us a plane had hit the world trade center. Watching the smoke rolling off the first building I thought "what idiot flies a plane into a sky scraper?" And right after that the second plane hit. We saw it live when it happened. I never really understood the term "my blood ran cold". Twenty five years later and I still remember that feeling like it was branded into my brain. There have been many atrocities in history and now, this is just the one I witnessed.

IDK, but probably thanks to a lot of trauma (TL;DR: ableist bullying), I try my best to extend projects or just leave them unfinished. Sometimes I just start new ones for no other reason that I don't have to finish the previous ones on time.

Back to work today. Starting to be noticeably darker in the morning which will mean it's going to start cooling down hopefully. We live along a meteorlogical border. So the weather can get weird and intense.

I think I want to stop talking for a little bit, maybe a few days. Is this a bad idea? I feel like my life style can support a few days. Has anyone else tried this?
