On the plus side, these mason jar salad recipes are easy and fun enough to get me out of my cooking rut
On the minus side, I don't actually have mason jars so I'm going to have to get creative with some of these 😅

@npub1mm5…9qt8 yeah I can't enjoy media when I know too much personal stuff about the performer unless they're really really careful at image management so what I know about them seems congruent with the persona they're selling

All right, I think I'm going to do a Labor Day thread with info about workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities in the US.
Note 1: I am not a lawyer
Note 2: This info is from Ask JAN, the ADANN, and the EEOC

#CripLib is a hashtag used when discussing the intersection of disability and libraries. (See also @npub18sc…qvr2 on Mastodon.)
If you are a GLAM worker with a disability and want to join ongoing Discord discussions, you can find where to request an invitation on the website.

Can anyone recommend a good book on recent (last 20-200 years) Latin American political history?
I'm guessing that US imperialism would have to be included but info internal politics would also be great.

I just recently learned about
@npub1f4c…xznh which sells DRM-free subscriptions to SFF/H magazines and also has books from some of my favorite SFF/H authors!
(I'm sure they have other options too but I was laser-focused on my area of interest 😅)

I find it really frustrating when people confidently proclaim "that violates the ADA! they're going to get sued so hard lol!"
like, (1) the ADA does not provide the amount or clarity of protection that you're assuming,
(2) the resources required to sue someone for an ADA violation means most people can't,
(3) the chances of winning an ADA suit? so low it makes me wonder, why are you trusting a power-protecting government so much? I really don't get it
