I am the guest on this week's Penny Forward podcast. I talked about my journey in terms of finding work that aligned with my values as a blind person and attempted to give some general advice for blind people who are looking for work or looking for a job that better aligns with what they would like to be doing. I also talked a little about investing and about moving across the country. To be clear, nothing that I said was intended as a linear "if you do this, then you will find what you're looking for," but, from the point of view of doing what we can as individuals, it is about positioning ourselves to increase our chances of finding opportunities.

New submitter hadleyburg writes: President Trump has directed the Department of War to restart nuclear weapons testing. The directive appears to be a counter measure to rival nations catching up with the US.
Un dibujo de un sapo verde sosteniendo una bolsita de té sobre una taza de café. El sapo está de pie sobre una superficie rosa y tiene un aspecto expresivo. Su mano derecha sostiene la bolsita de té suspendida sobre la taza. La taza de café tiene un diseño sencillo con algunas líneas onduladas. Se puede ver que el sapo mira hacia arriba con interés. El estilo de dibujo es caricaturesco y detallado.

‼️ An explosion occurred in the post office building in Kyiv.
The incident occurred at the sorting center of one of the postal operators during the inspection of a parcel. Five employees of the post office were injured as a result of the incident.
@aral @joynewacc I’m a mother of three children. We recently returned to North Gaza after being displaced, but we came back to nothing. We lost our home, our source of income, and any sense of safety or stability. Now, we have no proper shelter or cover to protect us from the cold. Winter is coming fast, and we don’t have warm clothes or blankets for the children. Life here has become unbearable. There’s no gas, no electricity, and no clean water to drink — even salty water is hard to find. Prices are extremely high, and every day is a struggle just to survive. My children keep asking me, “When will we have a home again?”, and I have no answer. We are trying to raise donations to help us leave, rebuild our lives, and give our children a future where they can live with dignity and safety. Please, if you can help or even just share our story, it would mean the world to us.
Ai fascisti interessa comandare, non governare. Infatti sono intenti a sabotare tutto quel che possono dell'impalcatura delle Stato e delle istituzioni. Come tRump. mastodon.uno/@Vitalba/11546316…
È grave che un potere dello Stato aggredisca l’ordine giudiziario e senza nemmeno aver letto le motivazioni della Corte dei Conti, che tutela la spesa dei soldi dei contribuenti.
Ed è grave che, dicendo “come se i giudici contabili ignorassero l’esistenza dei computer”, Meloni mostri di non essersi mai accorta di quante norme, che lei non cambia, impongono ai cittadini, pure con disabilità, di portare documenti cartacei allo sportello con una burocrazia sfinente. Si sveglia ora che tocca a lei?

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the government shutdown, and the House of Representatives is still on break as House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues to try to force the Senate to pass the House measure to fund the government without negotiating over the Democrats’ demand for the extension of the premium tax credit without which healthcare premiums will skyrocket."

The image is a book cover with a vintage aesthetic. The background is a light green color. Across the top, in a large, elegant font, it says “The American”. Directly beneath "The American" is "Woman's" in a slightly smaller font. Below this, the words "Cook Book" are displayed in a larger, bolder font. At the very bottom of the cover, in a smaller font, it says "Edited by Ruth Berolzeimer." The book has a classic, somewhat decorative style typical of early 20th-century cookbooks.

Human rights groups warned on Friday that it effectively forces member states to create a broad electronic surveillance dragnet that would include crimes that have nothing to do with technology.

A view of the flooded Kanjia Lake from the Odisha State Botanical Gardens, Nandankanan, Bhubaneswar.
The water has submerged the access road. The central bare tree now serves as a marker for the original boundary between the road and the lake. Photo taken approximately 36 hours after the landfall of Cyclone Montha at Andhra Pradesh. Storm clouds, however, continue to linger and bring intermittent showers to the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
