The campaign “The world is harder when it wasn’t designed for you” was developed by the Vozes da Inclusão Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. The initiative proposes a shift in perspective by imagining a world designed exclusively for people with disabilities, highlighting the challenges that non-disabled individuals would face in such a context.

The image depicts a natural scene with a variety of wildflowers. In the foreground, there are several plants with delicate white flowers, each composed of numerous small florets, giving them a feathery appearance. The stems are slender and green, with some buds that are yet to bloom. The background is filled with a mix of green foliage and other wildflowers, including some with vibrant purple blooms. The overall setting appears to be a forest or meadow, with a soft focus that blurs the background, emphasizing the white flowers in the foreground. The lighting suggests it is daytime, with natural light illuminating the scene.

A digital painting of a balding and bearded man wearing a medieval cloak, holding a skull under one arm, a walking stick in the other, and a quiver of bones on his back. He appears to be hiking on a desolate and rocky hill. He has paused to look across a misty valley at a shadowy mountain topped with a dark structure with a bifurcated top that resembles a pair of horns. There is a small light, perhaps a window, in the center of the structure.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.
Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).
I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

The image depicts a fantastical forest scene with a woman in the foreground. She is wearing a flowing blue dress and has her hair styled in braids. Her posture is graceful, with one hand gently touching the ground and the other raised slightly. The background features a large tree with a face resembling the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland," with a wide grin and cat-like features. The forest is filled with large mushrooms, glowing plants, and a deer standing in a clearing. The lighting is ethereal, with a mix of blue and warm tones, creating a mystical atmosphere. The scene is rich in detail, with various elements contributing to the enchanting and otherworldly feel of the image.

Haaretz has reported that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu supports a plan to confine Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to a so-called "humanitarian city" in Rafah, a plan critics have compared to a concentration camp.
Under the proposal, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be admitted into the camp after undergoing security screening.
"Give them Ben & Jerry's, for all I care," Netanyahu has said, a source told Haaretz.

What did you use to generate this? I've used Coagula Light in years past to generate sound files from images.
I also learned from experience that, if one wants the sound file to resemble sweeping pitches rather than white noise, one needs to optimize the image first with a Glowing Edges filter (either monochrome or controlling for color) and possibly adjust contrast.
I just used a quick and dirty written java program to "render" the wave file. I render the luminance of the image which works well with most of my images.
(And it is also an interesting sound effect)

The image shows a close-up of a wristwatch with a brown leather strap. The strap has the word "DROP" embossed on it, indicating the brand or model. The strap features several holes for size adjustment, with the last visible hole being the fifth from the top. The watch face is partially visible, showing a black bezel and a silver dial with some markings, though the details are not clear due to the angle and focus. The strap is placed on a green cutting mat with yellow grid lines and numbers, which are used for measuring and cutting materials. The background is slightly blurred, emphasizing the watch and strap.

The image shows a close-up of a brown leather watch strap placed on a green cutting mat with yellow grid lines. The strap has several evenly spaced holes along its length, indicating it is adjustable. The leather appears to be of a smooth texture with a slight sheen, and the strap is slightly curved, suggesting it is designed to fit around a wrist. The background is a green cutting mat with a grid pattern, which is commonly used for crafting and measuring. The strap is positioned diagonally across the mat, with the holes aligned vertically. The lighting in the image casts a shadow of the strap onto the mat, adding depth to the scene.

The image features a wristwatch with a black case and a brown leather strap. The watch face is black with white numerals and markers, including the numbers 1 through 12, and additional minute markers. The hands of the watch are white with an orange second hand. The watch is labeled "SELF-WINDING" and "100 METERS" on the dial, indicating it is a self-winding mechanical watch with water resistance up to 100 meters. The watch is positioned on a green cutting mat with yellow grid lines, which is commonly used for crafting or sewing. The strap has several holes for size adjustment, and the watch is shown from a slightly angled perspective, highlighting the watch face and strap against the grid-patterned background.
