There is a livestream of Hurricane Florence with the camera aimed at a flag that’s progressively getting SHREDDED by the wind (!), and honestly, if that ain’t some pretty good symbolism for how U.S. policy is affecting climate change, idk 

The flag is supposed to be taken down in inclement weather.

@unthrifty–loveliness Somehow I think your comment just adds that much more to the metaphor

All those “patriots” out there demonizing people for not standing during the anthem take note.

For structures that have no entry steps, ConvertaStep also makes ramps of three sizes that come in a manual as well as automatic version.

(via ConvertaStep | Wheelchair Accessibility | Ramps | Convertastep – Freedom In Mobility)

This welcome mat converts into a fully accessible wheelchair ramp. Beautiful and functional design. I want it.

Some more info, for people who are interested.

First of all, I can’t believe this has almost 3,000 notes. I’m so glad that people are sharing this – both as a cool design, and also as an important accessibility feature.

Thanks to pseudosoph for linking to additional info (above) regarding weight limits, lift height, and product background – the creator is a wheelchair user himself! Very cool stuff. Keep sharing!

This isn’t a fail. Just wanted to share an accessibility win so people can get ideas for improving accessibility

Screw it

One time my five year old sister and I went in a hike in the woods and I told her “now if we come across a bear in here, I will throw myself in front of it and you run away!” And she looked me dead in the eye and said “No sorry I called it.” I was like, “what? You want to die? You’re five!” She just looked into the abyss and said, “I have been here too long.” And honestly? Big Mood.

“I have been here too long.” I’m through

Damn
