New Indicator is calling for a dialogue over how socialists should respond to the Sanders campaign.
Thank you. I’m not sure if any of these can allow quiet phone calls. The 1st link seems to cover a variety of speech-to-text options. The 2nd link mostly seems to cover phone or tablet apps.
I have mixed feelings. There’s not really any way to create awareness of pain without inflicting it.

I stumbled on this today. There’s a dog on the edge of the screen, but I just listened instead of watching. I really relate to her comments about the sensory effects:
I have an awful migraine and I feel like I’m about to throw up.
Also, the following user css is inadaquate to protect against transform:scale(1)
- { transform: none!important; animation: none!important; transition: none!important; }

“tone trolling”
So I sometimes get accused of “tone trolling” for pointing out ableist slurs. And I sometimes see the same phrase when other people point out ableism.
Has anyone ever encountered that phrase in any other context?
“Tone policing” (as I’ve seen it used) is the idea that all viewpoints and sensitivities (relevant to your situation) must be considered in every discussion. Your sensitivities can sometimes resemble that kind of off-topic derailing used in bad faith. You are not, however, a bad faith kind of person, so while it can take a while for folks to get an idea of where you are genuinely coming from, most of us get there.
It is often used by Nazis and lites to take over discussions that are “insensitive” to the concerns of Nazis and other authoritarian goofballs. Those actors, however, weaponize the real sensitivities of people who are unable to filter things in a neurotypical way. They think they’re doing performance art to expose the oppression they feel from being forced to exist in a world where manners and convention allow accommodations for people like you.
Instead, the trolls are exposing the reason for the manners and conventions that accommodate traumatized and sensitive people: to do otherwise is to prefer, at minimum, the bored and tiresome minor cruelties of comfortable shitheads. So it comes down to people exercising discretion rather than following a high-school debate handbook.

Yes, but I’m referring to the phrase “tone trolling”.
So, if anyone else wants to report an accessibility problem with your site, that’s another accessibility problem.

I think “you can punch your readers for up to 3 seconds” and “you can punch your readers as long as you provide your readers a button to stop the punching, because who cares if they’re already hurt and if they can’t see the fucking button while you keep punching them,” are shitty standards, but many web sites fail even that standard.

- Ketoralac – a very strong NSAID that can be given i.m. to patients who cannot take (absorb) oral NSAIDs due to vomiting.
e.g. due to an allergy. Even when I’ve told them I’m allergic, doctors keep pressing me to take nsaids. Even when I tell them, doctors keep pressing me to take nsaids, as if I’m not already in enough pain. I can easily see doctors using this because someone keeps vomiting up nsaids due to an allergy, and triggering a very strong allergy attack.

I’ve still got these awful headaches. I wonder if barometric pressure changes are involved, because pain can hurt.
But weather forecasting sites either ignore barometric pressure changes, or only cover forecasted future barometric pressure changes. So does anyone know of sites which hindcast past barometric pressure changes?

I don’t know if this website has problematic formatting for you (it looks like it might, as the website seems interactive and a bit glitchy), but it does have barometric pressure for the past 2 weeks, at least (looks like it has a pull down for months). You’ll need to set it to your location, of course:
