I went to grandpa’s diner in Danbury Connecticut for the very first time. The food was good. However, the waiter overcharged us and he did not want to rectify the amount because he did not know how to use the computer. In the end he did reimbursed us because we complained. I would give grandpa’s diner in Danbury, Connecticut, five stars. However, I’m taking one star off because the waiter overcharges. Not to mention, he overcharges, but he argued with the customer.

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, host Kathleen Masciana, an online philosophy graduate student at Holy Apostles College and Seminary, explores the Digital Opt-Out movement and LAUSD's strict new screen time policies through the lens of disability access. Kathleen examines how technology bans impact students with disabilities who rely on assistive devices like Braille computers and phones as essential learning tools. She discusses her accommodations, including using a Braille computer to write papers and read textbooks. She uses a phone to access the learning management system and submit assignments. She also uses an analog recording device with no internet to read assignments aloud and submit audio-based work in place of visual materials. Kathleen also tackles the philosophical question of whether knowledge exists beyond definitions and tautologies. This is an audio-only episode. Listen to hear how these accommodations enable access to education and why the conversation about technology in schools must include disability perspectives.

Forno Trattoria in Mohegan Lake New York review

As a blind Generation Z graduate student, I waited until I was 19 to join social media. That choice gave me the chance to build genuine friendships, grow my confidence, and truly discover myself without the pressure of likes, trends, or constant comparison. Seeing how many kids today struggle with anxiety and stress online inspired me to start this petition for Mental Health Awareness Month. I am calling for a ban on social media for anyone under 16 in New York. This is about protecting the next generation and giving every child the freedom to enjoy real connections and a childhood free from digital pressure. Please sign and share to support this movement and help make a difference for all of our youth. https://c.org/BgfcvH5GRK #MentalHealthAwareness #ProtectOurYouth #BanSocialMediaUnder16 #LetKidsBeKids #NewYorkYouth #NextGenStrong
