Someone is using giant flashing ads on their vending machines. I think it’s the state lottery. I want to contact my state representatives about this.

Unfortunately, when I enter my address into the statehouse’s search tool, I get an animated zooming map, and 2 possibilities. My apartment is behind one of the op-ups, so if I want to check the boundaries in detail, I have to scroll over, and … as usual, scrolling triggers more painzooming painimation instead of scrolling.

The accessibility contact info isn’t accessible either.

I did find a contact email for the webmaster, so that’s step 1.

How long until some people start mounting strobe lights in their own eyes... and continue punishing people for avoiding eye pain?

I already keep encountering strobe lights mounted on:

* flashlights,

* ambulances,

* post trucks,

* school buses,

* police cars,

* all cars in the form of turn signals and hazard lights,

* crosswalk lights,

* road safety signs,

* fire alarms, paired with incapacitating noise,

* the department of motor vehicles offices, which handles other identification too,

* doctors’ offices, in the form of painscreens firing news channels,

* advertisements,

* vending machines,

* holiday signs,

* occasionally even shoes...

So some people already mount them in a lot of inconceivably bad places.

I’m sick of people telling me that police-car light bars, ambulance light bars, school bus strobe lights, post truck strobe lights, turn signals, and all the other flashing “safety signals” are safe and can’t possibly cause seizures.

I don’t think anyone’s trying to gaslight me, but I still feel gaslit.

These things can hurt, blind me in the direction of the flashing, cause hallucinatory flashing in other directions, blind me in the direction of that flashing too, disorient me, unabalance me, and leave me with severe migraines for days afterwards and one time vomiting.

I think this best fits occipital lobe seizures with post-ictal migraines, but pehaps there’s another explanation.

I don’t think this fits pnes which tends to have motor symptoms.

Now I can’t conceive of how anyone could get hit with these or with modern web design and not get sick, but if some can, then maybe they can’t conceive of how someone could get injured or sick from … however they think of these? high-safetypower safetyweapons creating safety? harmless doodads? no different from a color choice? I don’t know.

I the meantme when someone talks about firing these weapons… sorry, “turning them on,” I’m going to react with fear and horror and point out that dangerous weapons are dangerous and shouldn’t be fired so recklessly.

This is not accessible. I don't live in Philly, but I have a strobe sensitivity and visual motion sensitivity, and many ads hurt, scramble my senses, and leave me with post-ictal migraines. Also many safety signals make my stumble or fall down, and can leave me with post-ictal nausea, sometimes vomiting. If these kiosks are firing ads at people who are standing up, they will cause similar symptoms. I doubt the rest of the system is accessible either…

P.S. Remember that photosensitive people aren’t allowed to drive. Not being able to take the bus or subway either doesn’t help.
