President Trump says he'll take the presidential election to the Supreme Court, but it's unclear what he means in a country in which vote tabulations routinely continue beyond Election Day, and states largely set the rules for when the count has to end. mprnews.org/story/2020/11/04…

#CountEveryVote That’s it. It’s simple. Let’s just do what we tell our kids we do when we hold an election: count ALL the votes!

President Trump in Iowa is claiming if we don’t know who won the election on Tuesday night that the election is being stolen. Note: The results of the election have never been certified on election night and officials could very well still be counting after Tuesday night.

Using the term blind has power and reflects the belief that it is respectable to live as a blind person. Training center instructors discuss the term blind as it relates to our self-confidence. For full video: youtu.be/95Ni2x3qY5g

In swing states, where the margins of victory are likely to be close, rules that prohibit counting ballots before Election Day may mean it takes hours or days before a winner is declared.

I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women in debates when they consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names while using titles & last names when referring to men of = stature.
Women notice. It conveys a lot.

I'm excited about the progress Microsoft is making in the image descriptions space. That said, it still doesn't remove the responsibility from content authors to validate/edit the descriptions to capture meaning. blogs.microsoft.com/ai/azure…

Friends, may implore you:
Stop waiting to get a therapist. Yes, you, you stressed out, not sleeping, barely functioning, drinking a little too much and you know it, YES YOU.
Stop thinking you are supposed to just “be strong.” Individual strength is a myth anyways.

Person: oh I’m a really chill person and I don’t like to burden people with my problems.
Same person: *telling you their entire life tragedy plus their PTSD plus their current bad habits they know are hindering their healing*
Same person: but yeah I’m fine tho.
