How did I miss this (oh yeah, pandemic).
You can book Toyoko Inn #accessible rooms online now - no need to call/fax! Great news for budget travelers who have a disability!
Just saw a champagne commercial with a fried egg in it. Now I want a fried egg.
Fishbone is playing Summer Sonic?!
Does anyone else sometimes calculate money/expenses/income with inanimate objects?
Like that’s a specked-out MacBook a year, or that’s an XBox Series X a month…
Just me?
Uhh… creating an @GoogleAds@twitter.com ad for my site about #accessible travel and used a picture of me in my #wheelchair and it was considered “clickbait”?! I have seen sooo many inappropriate ads featuring scantily clad people, but wheelchairs are clickbait?!
The ropeway is also accessible. The carriages themselves have a few variations (liftable seats or just cram yourself in the aisle). There is a slight bump to get in, but no gap or height difference.
While the cable car station at Gora still has a steep, slanted ramp to get on, Sounsan Station has a flattened platform near the accessible seating and new elevators (before it required 3 station staff push you up a steep platform!)
Humbled tonight as I watch shows featuring disability rights pioneers (青い芝の会) and first major actor with a disability (神戸浩さん) in Japan. I can have my life in Japan thanks to them. And motivation to fight for the next generation.
Ok, I get it now.
Too Old to Die Young is from Nicolas Winding Refn.
Never thought I’d say this but…
Really wish CNN would play commercials in their international feed. Getting really sick of the same “60-second vacation” and “30 seconds of Zen” fillers…
Not sure why, but I reaaaally want to play Sleeping Dogs again. Hope there is a remaster one day, or better yet a sequel!
Lovin the new Flor album 🎶
Watched WeCrashed and starting The Dropout…
I gotta be careful because I’m getting inspired…
Not a huge Fire TV fan, but credit where credit is due..
A really fascinating read about a community where nearly every used sign language because 25% of the population was d/Deaf:
