Firewall is an excellent metaphor for the situation.
We've blown past every barrier on the path of disaster, and all that's left is to proceed to the disaster.
At this point, the best I can do is pray for the disaster to be over with as quickly as possible.

transmedialeโs 38th edition, (near) near but โ far, questions how our everyday interactions with digital platforms (re)form our human need for connection.
The festival will feature a weekend of extensive discourse and performance programme, and a series of workshops and working sessions as a prologue to the festival. Passes are available now!

@Muse - Our local professional company, Shakespeare Santa Cruz, used to be filled with refugees from the Royal Shakespeare Company; they were never mic-ed, they knew how to project their voices, even if that involved a lot of spitting. Younger actors seem to have less skill with voice articulation and projection - and thus need to be mic-ed and backed by a good sound reinforcement system run by someone who knows their stuff.
That lack of skill of articulation and projection seems to have hit TV and movies hard, and badly. We are surprised at how many new TV shows we have to pause and go back to try to understand what was said, even to the point of turning on captioning. It's rather difficult to forgive TV/film people for poor capture of comprehensible voice - it's rather a sign that the director's attention is more on the scenery than on the actors or the story.

My lemons are a little orange in colour. This photo makes them look even more orangey. We live on the side of a hill, and you can see the solar panels on our roof peaking under the branches.
I'm posting this because the flowers right now are making the entire property smell gorgeous! So sweet! So fresh! The bees seem to think so as well!

My good friend Sam made me this wonderful card for Halloween. The photo on the left is how it looks in person. The photo on the right is how it looks through the phone at a certain angle.
Any guesses as to why? #art

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •Pre-RomneyCare, I was paying $2500 a month for health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. And then I got sick...and my meds were $2000 a month.
I'm hoping all goes well for you ๐

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •I was entirely denied health care due to an incident that happened to me in college. The denial was almost ten years later.
ACA isn't perfect, but getting rid of "pre-existing conditions" was a blessing to every person who needs health insurance.
The orange stain and his fellow fascists would be happy to see folks like me die.
James M.
in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •yes! Obamacare was a major improvement for everyone with a pre-existing condition, which means something like half of all Americans.
Reminder for everyone: According to a Yale study before the pandemic, about 68,000 Americans die every year due to lack of affordable healthcare. That's about 2.5% of all American deaths, none of whom would have died if we had single payer healthcare.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •2) People likely don't know that folks with disqualifying pre-existing conditions would have to fill out an application to an insurance company in order TO GET DENIED and then be able to qualify for a high-risk pool plan

Yes, there has been misinformation about this to scare people. We need to push back against that misinformation.
Whoever told you this was fear-mongering and manipulating you, and you should probably stop listening to them.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •I've had my Medicare Advantage insurance canceled *TWICE* within twelve months because of dispute between the insurer (United Health) and the medical provider - it had nothing to do with me.
So I ended up with pneumonia, a temperature of 104F, and uninsured. I was turned away from urgent care and had to go to the ER as uninsured.
Our US medical system sucks.
