Tactile Turkey and traffic trauma

This is the Tuesday post.Don't let the timestamp fool you.
So the sleep total is just over 4 hours.

Last night was the last meeting of a public body that is about to morph into a different public body. The kind of public body with more than one blind person and many factors that make the process just a different vibe than... At home, afterwards beside mental note to write one "So we do not forget int eh transition emailm RantWoman was feeling the kind of blank empty despair that makes her want, at the very least to go stand somewhere and get really cold holding a protest sign or .... not quite awake enough that Go walk the breezeway would be a good option, but definitely not centered enough just to go to sleep until after 2, and awake thanks partly to late night menu just after 6.

But cool rooms make it easy to sleep and RantWoman will shortly go plug in the talking book reader so it is charged in time to work on the Korea book later.

RantWoman is delighted with these tactile turkeys. That is the software's Convert to line drawing option did a great job with the image via Google.

The original image: stylized turkey that shows wing and tail feather and wattle detail
See When RantWoman gets too neurotic at the Friendly neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing sometimes she calms herself down by making topical tactile art. RantWoman had already found one turkey image she would not make tactile are from. RantWoman did not want a roasted turkey image. RantWoman wanted something that could at least explain unique turkey features. So here we are.

The traffic trauma part gets to be in another blog post except that RantWoman's therapist listened to all the traffic whirled peas world peace drama on RantWoman's mind and shared that she also has a traffic trauma tinged Thanksgiving tragedy. Can you say lean into it. Therapist kind of gasped in awe when RantWoman mentioned a hackthon team working on something to do with traffic trauma data and a campaign called #VisionZero: teams form after people pich the ideas they want to work on. At some point in a get acquainted moment: every single person in the group was in the group because of some kind of traffic trauma in their lives.

Turkey after Conver to line drawing
Turkey turned out way cool as a tactile image. Easy to feel the different parts.

Rest of reverie? another day.
