When TSA is Terrible Staff Agency
This is absolutely inexcusable! A young woman, Hannah Cohen, has had a tumor removed from her brain, which combined with radiation treatments has made her blind and deaf on her left side, along with limited speech and mobility. She and her mother were flying home to Chattanooga a day post-anaesthesia from another treatment at St […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

In the school cafeteria
I saw some people eating over at the grocery dining area the other day. Some were just-barely adults, and others were of that great, vague realm of middle age. They were louder than necessary, sloppy, and left a mess. Not that my budget was going to let me buy a hot lunch to eat there […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

A Reliable Read: Person-first language and oppositional models of disability
This post from Finn’s excellent blog, Standing in the Way of Control is an easily-accessible introduction to the uses and problems that can result with “person-first language”*. Just an appetizer: This oppositional attitude toward disability stems from the ableist idea that disability is something that happens to “normal” people—or that disabled people are altered able-bodied or neurotypical people—rather than […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

We must create change
I was going to call this my “Hope For 2015”, but that is so passive and useless. Anybody can – and lots of people do – post warm, fuzzy notes with Hopes for the New Year, and others click and share. Lovely. But this is NOT all warm & fuzzy. It’s literally dead serious (with […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

Tastes Like Spring — A recipe for Scallion Pancakes
“What are they?” asked my son en passant. “Scallion pancakes; they’re a kind of fry bread.” “Can’t go wrong with fry bread!” he replied, and snatched one to eat before mowing. Yes, Spring is here (again), and we’ve gone through our usual winter-spring-winter-summer-winter-spring nonsense. The daffodils are blooming, the grass needs mowing, and the scallions are […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

TASTY TUESDAY: Proofreader ’ s Sandwich
Way back when I was an evening proofreader at a newspaper, I grew an avocado tree from a pit. Alas, somebody kept dumping their old coffee on it, and the young tree died. It would also have been nice if this sandwich had occurred to me at the time; it would have been mighty sustaining […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

More bloviating by discredited Dr Wakefield
Outbreaks of fully-preventable diseases are increasing As reported on Thursday, April 11th in the UK paper The Independent, “Swansea measles outbreak: Confirmed cases rise to nearly 700″, which is worse than than last year’s outbreak in Merseyside, England.

Fractal flakes
To decorate for our winter party before the semester-end break, we made paper snowflakes in art class at school. Being the geek that I am, I made a mobile from the fractal of the Koch snowflake, which starts from a single equilateral triangle, and keeps adding triangles onto the triangles. The mobile is made from […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)
