Track title: Cognito (Discrimination)

Cognitive discrimination it’s just so keen;2009 by citation, 15 years since we’ve seenLegal by decree, bow to rights of business, too;Business gets them rights, but not me and you. Why “judgement of the business”? Fed’s jobs database for this exists;Why “judgement of the business”? They’ll only say it “makes no sense.” (cents) The ADA and EEOC proudly proclaim,No filtering disabled humans again.But ‘Right to Judgement’ is their shameFearing to break, they always bend All along, all along, all along, all along, the disabled, we have knownNo one cares about us, under closest rug we’re thrown A cognitive assessment put all […]

Why Pax Dei is losing me (an analysis)

In response to this item, posted both on their discord and their steam page (link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1995520/), I decided to just let the algorithms that specialize in this kind of thing do their job. Here’s what it had to say, and I find it largely reflects my feeling/thinking coming out of the read. So, for what it’s worth, it’s pretty safe to say that this offering is most likely going to go the same path of so many others that thought they would make a cat drink coke when the cat has clearly indicated it likes milk and water. This is […]

Dichotomies: Expurgation vs. Sensitivity (Readers)

How and Why Sensitivity Reading Is Not Expurgation First, let’s define our terms: Expurgation is a form of censorship that involves purging anything deemed noxious or offensive from an artistic work or other type of writing or media. Sensitivity Reading is a form of editorial guidance to assure/ensure cultural presentation is accurate, and societal subgroups are depicted in ways that they agree accurately represent them. I suspect the word war is already at least partial understood based on those two definitions, alone. I can also tell you that I stan and ride with #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs. That said, my thoughts… People who […]

Autoimmune & Allergy Update

Title says it all. Big ol scratch tests today and I’m relieved to report no food allergies. One less thing to deal with, so I’m quite happy with that outcome. That said, turns out I am allergic to Cats (level 2). And, as always known, dust and dust mites. The best part is I’m finally getting some progress on trying to nail down WTF is up with my skin, connective tissues, etc and there are now several acronyms floating about that I won’t reveal at this time. I’m likely over two months from the labs needed to try and nail […]

Certifiably certified (CSPO)

As of end of day, yesterday, I am officially a Certified Scrum Product Owner. What does that mean? According to the Scrum Alliance, it means: Earning the CSPO means you have validated scrum knowledge and understand the product owner accountability on a scrum team. Mind, this is the initial certification and there is a path leading to two more, but as this is the entry level certification and I already have over 20 years of experience, I’m not sure how much further I wish to proceed on my own dime. Demonstration of proficiency was the goal and I have accomplished […]

Track title: Allowed

Of all things known, we are uniqueOf all things grown, we can speakOf all things shown, we are peakWe are alone, mostly oblique We’re blessed with gifts, beyond compareA unique signature, that we all shareTo speak our truth, to share our voiceTo leave our mark, our beacon’s choiceOf all things seen, we are so rareYet still we refuse to unite, fully share Why do we hide, behind masks of shame?Waste the potential that rests in our name?We’re given minds, to learn, soar, and playBut instead we wither, losing our wayWe’re blessed with fire against each nightBut we dim our flame, […]
