There are so many parts of disabled history than can be represented in film, and I'm sure there are many I don't know about. One that sticks out in my mind from an Irish perspective is the 2015 protest outside the Dáil.
It was to last for 72 Hours (I'm not sure how long it lasted in the end) and was done by a number of powerhouses in disability; many of whom are no longer with us. Can you imagine how exciting it would be to watch a film that would go through the planning and implementation:
of such a massive protest? To follow disabled activists as they prepared to stage what is now one of the most iconic protests of all time? It would be incredible!

just a few hours left on this account so i'd like to take a few moments to raise awareness of a few issues close to my heart
In 2010, male pornstar Prince Yahshua broke his penis while shooting for West Coast Productions.

I regret to inform you that Prince Yahshua has once again broken his penis while filming a scene last Tuesday.
You might be wondering, “A penis can break?”

So just listened to the @TheKillstream parts about decentralized imageboards and made some notes. I'll start with @HW_BEAT_THAT list of elements that an IB should have. He's working on a paper on this topic. He goes into this topic at 56m in stream.me/archive/theral…
8 elements: (ideal world, perfect IB should have)
1. no central authority
2. anonymous
3. should be able to upload files
4. opt-in censorship (ML algorithm illegal content or Special Mod (Humans))
5. Spam
6. Free to post on (monetary, it's ok for incident costs like ISP or cpu cycles)
7. relevent on peers or nodes (no super peers) every user should be contribute to the network (every user gives me)
8. lightweight, like tor browser, download software, open page

I stopped doing heroin eight years ago today, in the Tompkins County Jail. People ask me how I did it, like I have some magic silver bullet. I don’t. But here are some thoughts abt getting sober, and Christmas in jail.
My first Christmas in jail, I would have still been detoxing. I don’t remember it at all; I only know this holiday happened bc the calendar says it did, and bc we got a Salvation Army gift bag with pens and paper.
But surely it did not feel festive; when you’re detoxing on the floor of a county jail cell, it is so easy to remember all the reasons you want to die, both in that moment and generally. It is so hard to remember what there is to live for - and even harder once you sober up.

Do you know what one of the worst bits about being #disabled is? It's having NO CHOICE about so much stuff.

I rely so much on my husband, my cleaning ladies and a wide variety of delivery services to bring me stuff.

For example - @sainsburys have been really annoying (1)
I ordered one product, @sainsburys mistakenly delivered another. I can't get to store to exchange it. I've tried to get a refund for this FIVE TIMES over the last few days - I was definitely being phoned on Monday, except I wasn't. #SainsburysRant (2)
Now the reason this is upsetting is that I don't have the product I ordered, paid for and wanted.

I can barely walk. I find it close to impossible to go to a small shop: I can't get to a supermarket to buy the things I want. #SainsburysRant (3)

As @fred_burton remembers #Bush41, one event sticks out in his mind.

A thread ⬇️
"One cold November night in 1981, I reported for midnight duty protecting #Bush41 and his family at their residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
That night, the #intelligence division of the @SecretService passed out a photocopy of a warning that a hit team backed by #Libya had been reported headed for the #UnitedStates as part of a plot to attack senior U.S. government officials.

#infosecstaples = Time for a new hashtag to help out our #infosec students. Asked some remedial questions that anyone going into a tech field should know and was surprised they hadn't been taught these things in school.
I know my own college degree didn't prepare me at all for the work that I would be doing after I graduated, but I thought maybe it had gotten a little bit better at this point. I guess not. They seem to be failing the participants still.
One of the main reasons @synackpse & I wrote the Defensive Security Handbook was to put staple information all down into one place as well as we could, but it doesn't even come close to covering everything someone may need to know, that's what universities should be trying to do.

🚨2018 Tennessee Football Defensive Thread 🚨
Outline:
1. Basic Structure with Position-by-Position thoughts
2. Personnel Changes
3. Pattern Matching Zone Coverages
4. 3rd Down Philosophy
Alright so to start we have to talk about the basic structure. Gotta understand this piece to see how the rest of it fits together. What Coach Pruitt runs currently at Alabama, and what he ran at UGA and largely at FSU is a 3-4 defense. I fully expect that to be the case at UT.
