๐Ÿงต Even before I formed @ucaccessnow, I persisted through campus channels trying to get them to acknowledge that cycle racks ALSO have to be accessible, not car parking spaces. After months of brick walls with UC and my union, I got a meeting with the head of UC Davis TAPS, who

@meganL @ucaccessnow thank you for your tireless work & advocacy! When I was a teacher, I had many students with different abilities who aspired to go to UC campuses. I completely agree design, in all ways, should include everyone. It's a failure of UC decision makers to not recognize your leadership. @fedibikes @disability @bikenite

Please boost in the hopes of reaching someone who can answer:

Can someone direct me to a form and/or a person responsible for ensuring ADA compliance (not a defensive "cover your ass" thing, but actually caring about accessibility) at USDA?

Thank you!

Overnight, the bloom petals closed up around the native bee.

Here they are at sunrise...

Funny how future alumni donations are somehow meaningless.

@StillIRise1963 exactly. Shows which people and donations have meaning.

Many of us are familiar with imposter syndrome, but is there a similar term for having the persistent feeling that youโ€™re letting the rest of your team/workplace down by not doing enough, no matter how much others in your team/workplace make it clear youโ€™re doing (more than) enough?

thinking about rebuilding our public squares in a hybrid digital age

  1. encourage public entities to share public info on public channels, not private platforms

  2. embrace sharing in real life, use email, snail mail, private messenger, radio, newspaper, public forum, neighborhood scale gathering

  3. create and use nonprofit and publicly owned social sharing platforms, but prioritize real life sharing when possible

@kellyromanych@mastodon.social avatar

Have you ever heard a young hummingbird's peep?

It's a cloudy, windy day in SoCal. I think this little hummer was just learning how to make its wings work. It landed near me and stayed for several minutes. The dad came by for encouragement but I couldn't get him in the frame. Turn on volume to hear its tiny peep despite the wind. It flies off at the end.

A tiny hummingbird in a garden surrounded by tiny sunflower like blooms of Rudbeckia triloba. The bird is perched on a small stem about a foot above the ground. Its colors are speckled browns, grays and greens.

Phacelia tanacetifolia. The late afternoon light catches its cyme shaped flower heads. A bit of peace in the day.

A newly emerged Xylocopa, native Carpenter bee.

The noonday sun reflects on her back and brings out the iridescent coppers of her wings.

A great reason to be gentle with growing grasses and covers. This one was lucky the neighbor's landscapers were done leaf blowing.

I'm super excited about meeting these 2 Silken Wind Hound tomorrow afternoon! Never met this breed of dog before. My friend Lyrica is taking me for a nature walk tomorrow, shortly after noon. We're meeting up with her friend, who lives beside park we're going to hunt for wildflowers at & these are the 2 dogs coming out with us!

Expect lots of photos of nature & these rad dogs, after our nature adventures, tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€

@kellyromanych@mastodon.social avatar

@msquebanh those are beautiful! I've never met the breed, but have had a blood hound and now an Irish Wolfhound mix. The wolfhound is gentle and being a sight hound, that means we're always careful he's on a lead so as to not chase wildlife and cats.
