I'm a student studying carob (Ceratonia siliqua) street trees in SoCal & carob history in CA.

The more I think about it, the more I think “plant imperviousness” might work, although it seems less snappy because of how often that ableist metaphor is used in English language poetry, prose, songs, etc.

There is a well-known botany podcast that uses the phrase “plant blindness” in every single episode. And others echo it or have taken it on board. It’s time to come up with less ableist language as it’s an important phenomenon to describe, but not at the expense of blind people.

I’d want to check with the blind community on Twitter and other social media first, but “blindered” might work as it’s actually something put on one that blocks one’s vision. Or “plant impervious”.

Oof, the irony here. Many blind people have expressed a desire for an end to using blindness as a metaphor for ignorance. So one of the biases we’re passing on is ableism... We need to find other ways to describe the indicated phenomenon.https://twitter.com/botanyone/status/1224258420699811840 …

This is true about so many workplaces, IMO. If I were a mgr, I’d much rather have an honest and candid employee than encourage people to hide mistakes. The sooner you have honest info, the sooner you can correct.https://twitter.com/matthutchings10/status/1224023280669089792 …

When I was younger, one could read scholarly books or even mass market books of the kinds of jokes people told, carefully, in Soviet Russia. A lot of the jokes folk make now are starting to sound like that to me.

If the broken bezel makes the display go out while I need it, I’ll be up Excrement Estuary.

So I’ll use my totally janky falling apart laptop while the “newer” one is in the shop, then switch out. Hope this works as I really don’t think the iPad Pro is up to all the stuff I do on my laptop for school.

But I really don’t like the choices Apple has taken away and I at least know this old hardware as opposed to the not-all-that-cheap refurb/used stuff out there. So I’m getting these fixed, one at a time.

I’ve hemmed and hawed over whether to buy a new MacBook Pro or just MacBook, whether to buy “new” used, or whether to just fix what I have. I’ve spent hours and hours and weeks doing this.

Well, I haven’t started this laptop in something like 2 yrs because the battery expanded within it (not exploding, thankfully) and cracked the bezel, the connection to the keyboard, etc. It turns on, it reads the external HD. I have to use a bluetooth keyboard to do input.pic.twitter.com/wBpc6IpjLS
