I'm passionate about accessibility #a11y
My hobbies consist of computational history, cultural memory work, beading, and mushrooms. Sometimes I do digital art and graphic design.

#askFedi: What do folx think of recycling refund programs?
https://www.recyclingrefundswork.org/

"Huge news: Senators Manchin and Schumer just WITHDREW the permitting deal that would have forced approval of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, and gutted our bedrock environmental laws!! This is a huge win and something that most people did not think was possible just a few weeks ago. Truly amazing – thank you everyone for working so hard on this.

Because there weren’t enough votes to move forward, Manchin had no choice but to pull his own bill from the floor.

The fight is not quite over yet. The dirty deal could be attached to another in the coming weeks or months. We need to stay vigilant to stop the dirty deal once and for all. "

If you represent an organization, or can share this with any groups you're connected with, please take a moment to support this.

This sign-on letter is to the White House Council on Environmental Quality urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to strengthen their standards for waste incinerators, close loopholes that enable incineration, increase disclosure, and otherwise stop promoting waste burning.

Anyone have a favorite diagram(s) or meme(s) for explaining capacitors, resistors, and logic gates that would be good for an introduction or kid friendly? Not looking at anything too long or in-depth atm.

If you made payments during the pandemic, you may qualify for both a refund and loan cancellation.

For my great lakes loans, the refund will now be automatically reimbursed along with the loan cancellation. (I just called them)

Call your loan servicer to see if you need to request for a refund process.

the refund is for payments during the pandemic, while the loan cancellation applies to the current balance of your account
