Accessible Eyedrop packaging. We've created Easy-open pill containers. How do we create eyedrop containers that may be opened? Mom [97 yo] needed my sister to make special trip to open glaucoma eyedrops. We're not alone. How do we rectify problem w/o compromising product?

@maddow.msnbc.com What journalist(s) do you follow or recommend following to stay informed about Social Security. Worrying about its reliability is as detrimental as is any negative impact potentially forthcoming. Thanks.

How do we convey w multiple disabilities in one person, such that the one person isn't asked to prioritize which disability gets treated. How may drs etc & patients,etc establish some process so that person doesn't need to sacrifice treatment bc coexisting disabilities aren't understood?

Looking for better description of having multiple or cross disabilities. Conveying to drs that I can't leave one or more disabilties at home simply bc I'm seeing dr/ot/pt for a condition beyond my wheelchair use. CP means I can use 1 hand; how do we convey needs w/o words in use in everyday use.

@stephruhle.bsky.social Is Trump's court filing saying that Musk isn't involved in DOGE, affirming another individual is in charge of DOGE is Trump's legal groundwork to make innocent bystander on the hook for lawsuits that might be filed against Musk. Is our only choice Democracy or Innocent Ones

Go through the list and do the steps and feel the power 🦾
