PSA: You can sit for the assistive technology professional (ATP) exam with zero education but extensive experience; for example, 10 years with a GED

It’s an incredibly exhaustive evaluation, but once you pass you can assess and prescribe equipment - plus a subset of SLP, OT, and PT services

🇨🇦Happy Thanksgiving Canadians. Honestly, the biggest thing I'm grateful for this year is that the world which seems hell-bent on killing us all hasn't succeeded yet. May the odds be in our favour for another year. #Covidisnotover

Well, I didn't really see this coming, but I think it's great! Huh- I wonder if I could get a job there teaching #Swahili. Doubtful. The world really has no use for an mzungu who speaks Swahili. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The president says it will speed up integration into East Africa, seen as crucial for boosting trade.

Ugh. Yeah, I know the drill, but I sure don't like it. I need to go find a cave to live in for about 30 years, and then maybe I'll poke my head out to see if anyone is still alive.

Random ridiculous question: Are "they" EVER going to wake up about Covid? Because I'm getting more and more hopeless over here. I don't wanna be the last surviving non-rhino, but I sure don't want to become a rhino either.

I’m kind of amazed with the concern from some GPs about online patient appointments but not the concern about #CleanAir for clinically vulnerablle or long covid patients.
#Covidisairborne. It’s safer online.

People want universal healthcare.

They want affordable food, clean air, education and housing.

They want the freedom to pursue a better life for themselves.

What do they get? Militarized cities. Threats to Medicaid. Detention camps. Gold card immigration programs.

Tyranny.

Weird discovery when tidying today. I have no recollection of how this thing entered my abode. It’s an issue of the Epoch Times from Oct. 2020. Poll: Should I keep it as a historical artefact, or burn/recycle it ASAP?

According to @who.int 5th Sept 2025 the #globalhealth risk from #COVID is rated as moderate, a reduction from previous years. However, this assessment is undermined by significant surveillance & data-sharing gaps, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

July 1, 2024, I started working at the IRS. I was still living in a tent at the time. I spent the first month going to work and acting like not a thing was wrong. I lucked into housing on July 27, 2024. I was there exactly a year. Now I'm inches away from being homeless again.

Want to help me stay in the advocacy game? $5 goes a long way.

I want helping people, and educating others to be more than a dream. That’s my goal.

Anybody else feel like those who promise to keep us "safe" tend to first create the danger and then claim they have fought it off bravely?
