There comes a point where inaccessibility looks like deliberately taunting people for their accessibility needs, instead of simply overlooking their needs.

Migraine warning for the link:

I can't attach the screen shot, but “There are several ways that you can contact the U.S. Census Bureau for support. For general questions: Visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, or call 301-763-INFO (4636) or 800-923-8282. For information on services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing: Call the TTY number at 800-877-8339 to reach the Federal Relay Service.”

P.S. Yes, this could be a result of applying Section 508 standards without thinking about them, but still…

So I've got an appointment to see an occupational therapist to see if she can help with my sensory issues.

Because the transportation website has been down, I've had to make another pain call to schedule. But because it's now too late, since I've been trying to get through the website, I can't schedule. So I'm in a lot of pain from that failed pain call, and I have to reschedule my appointment again. Guess what, even though they're working with patients with sensory issues, they only allow scheduling or rescheduling by pain call. So I'm in even more pain because of the reliance on pain. I've got a splitting earache in my right ear. Now the garbage truck has come and fired its own painbeaters. And I've still got to make another pain call to try to schedule the damned transportation. I am thoroughly sick of having to put myself through so many pains for so many things!

PAIN CAN HURT

PAINS CAN HURT

Because a lot of the medical system relies on pain calls, and current accessibility standards don’t require accessible alternatives to pain calls, I can’t just disconnect the pains and avoid the pain calls.

So several times each day I get hit with painful wringers, I have to pick up the pain, I get hit with painful loud beeping or shouting on the pain, and it turns out they’re pain-bombarding about auto insurance or something else I don’t have and can’t use withn my disabilities.

I was writing to oppose the Rubio amendment, which would require the administration to keep nuclear missiles on hair-trigger alert, which is playing Russian roulette with the whole world.

At best, phone calls are stressful, at worst they are maddening, especially the constant countless-times-daily robocalls. I don't exactly deal well with this kind of social stress. My skin starts to flare up in pain, and sometimes to break out in hives. I hate it.
