When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

We're about 75 toys & teen gifts to our goal for parents at Cook County Jail. Thank you! Info & ways to donate: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Over half of all people entering the Cook County Jail system 
are caregivers to 
children under 18, 
and over 60% of caregivers provide support to children under the age of 5Incarceration of a parent is a recognized as a significant trauma, causing anxiety, depression, PTSD, academic struggles,  physical health problems, poverty, and social stigma.The median annual income for people in prison, before conviction, was 41% less than non-incarcerated peers. The disparity is even greater for Black and women prisoners.Your donation is more than a toy or a gift for a teen. 
It’s a tangible connection kids take home as we work to reunite families.

Remember how they told you to stop wearing an n95 even though it would ostracize disability communities? Even though COVID still kills & disables? It was their plan: habituate folks to preventable death & disability, teach them to abandon the sick, then dismantle public health. Stop complying:

Folks, very bad news for #LongCOVID. Deep breath. 29 awarded grants to do with COVID and Long COVID have been rescinded by NIH. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
Science has learned that grant termination letters went out last night to principal investigators of 29 awards made by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), including nine grants that were part of a program hoping to deliver antiviral drugs to prevent future pandemics. Other terminated grants involved research to develop improved COVID-19 vaccines and to address Long Covid, the mysterious lingering aftermath of some SARS-CoV-2 infections. “The research is being treated like we already have all the answers we will need in the future and that the current vaccines work well enough and don’t need improvement, which we know is not true,” says an investigator involved with one of the NIAID grants who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. “Some of the studies being canceled were attempting to make a pancoronavirus vaccine, which would hopefully be available the next time a novel coronavirus jumps species into humans.”

Do you or a loved one have a disability? The rights to treatment at hospitals doctors offices and more are in danger. Texas versus Becerra is an active lawsuit seeking to get rid of section 504, part of a 1973 civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Section 504 protects disabled people's right to enter and receive services and accommodations (example: ramps ASL interpreters Braille captions screen readers) anywhere that receive federal funding or grants. This includes public schools, doctors and hospitals that take Medicaid Medicare and many more basic services. 17 states are currently signed on to the lawsuit but if 504 is struck down it will have a national effect. The suits status is due to be updated 25 February 2025. The good news? There's still time to fight!

Looks like some of the Covid data is impacted this week (Jan 31, 2025) by the executive order: Covid variant data impacted / no update, but other data is not impacted like the Covid wastewater and epidemiological tracking. Not sure if this is a taper down or stratification by perceived importance

If you are serious about supporting your neighbors and the vulnerable members of your community, this absolutely and by definition means intentionally acknowledging and addressing some basic inclinations, like the one that says to abandon people who aren't always able to be there when you want them.
