Yes, there is absolutely! a comment period, and it has been extended to June 12th! As far as I understand: you can make public comment here. I think it's crucial to note that while this encompasses negligence around broken and mishandled equipment, and people with those sorts of horrors should absolutely submit comment! it by no means limits itself to that. This rule also concerns itself with enforcement of improper transfers, ala the grueling, humiliating ordeal of Charles Brown. Which I'm frustrated more people aren't emphasizing, as it matters so fucking much to get voices who've been dehumanized in similar fashion into the comments, too. There's a brilliant list of Do's and Don't's linked as a list on the comment page. Per that list's request, I'd urge you to peruse the full regulation before commenting

As a disabled person who's loved LEVERAGE and LEVERAGE REDEMPTION since the beginning - for the characters but also the whole ethos of performing acts that help people against crap systems, it's wonderful to be reminded that it springs from reality.

#I wasn't seeing a good reblog chain with both the transcript. and thank you OP! for both doing a transcript! and! ensuring all the links #posted on Bluesky actually worked <33333333 out here doing god's work. but wasn't seeing a good compilation of both said script and! the #comment resources so *shrugs* made one.#look. I've been lucky. I'm ambulatory enough I can use airport wheelchairs for long distances on the rare occasions I fly. but I'm #profoundly aware that dynamic could change. Even now. I'm terrified to bring my light transport chair with me. meaning that when I went to #Vegas in 2020. assuming there hadn't been. y'know. a global pandemic. I still wouldn't have been able to do anything with distance because #I get so tired on the cane. and dear God. that's a $119 affair. If I actually have to transition to an electric one. I can't even #*imagine* the terror. I do know I'd never have the monetary ability to bring it with me *anywhere* without much. much stronger guarantees #on replacement. and. while it's nothing to Mr. Brown or so many other horrors I've heard of #I absolutely ended up with an aching and bruised face. thanks to the TSA agent insisting I stand up for a pat-down and not thinking to #tell my blind ass about the mat I was about to stumble on. most folk? would've caught their balance from such a minor stumble.#with my CP? it was down onto the nose goes Nick hour. so I absolutely know this shit happens frequently. all that said! I initially went #looking for the transcript for a warm story of #humans being awesome #nad that is absolutely what I got! I knew John Rogers was a good egg because of his prolific tweeting during the WGA strikes #but this? this is a fucking masterclass in how to be a good disabiliy ally and it's making me sniffly in the best way #disability
