Stable? Agreed? MInutes?

Welcome to blogging while blind.
Substitute content due soon.

Substitute content because this item got posted the first time with extraneous content because RantWoman was sloppy about editing and did not do one last roll through with the screen reader before posting.

RantWoman is seasoning a leading: moments where RantWoman has tried to express gratitude, moments where RantWoman has tried to articulate important points are either specifically absent from minutes “RantWoman spoke at length” but not a dang thing about what RantWoman said)  or lost in a zone which MAY be partly attributable to unclear presentation.

In any case, since many points important to RantWoman are absent from minutes, RantWoman is permitting herself the option of not believing a thing written in minutes. RantWoman is also giving herself the option of simply accepting minutes as DATA. RantWoman recognizes that taking minutes is hard work. If Friends are not supposed to “speak at length” about topics that may be unfamiliar to everyone especially the Recording Clerk, RantWoman thinks it might be entirely reasonable in support of making the Recording Clerk’s job easier for the Recording Clerk and the proposed Ad Hoc Committee on Disability Awareness specifically to instruct the committee which includes two past recording clerks, the  current recording clerk, and other past or possibly future recording clerks to spend some time specifically on concepts and what is or is not reflected in past minutes as demonstrated by minutes, by RantWoman’s blog such as it is any use or by Friends’ memories.

RantWoman is aware the above paragraph needs editing. Hold the problem in the Light because RantWoman wants to interact with another piece of data. RantWoman should search, open some files and quote verbatim, but RantWoman’s memory is that the complaint is basically as follows:

“We never felt like we had a stable agreement and then RantWoman goes and writes weird stuff on her blog.”

RantWoman says all over her blog that she is testing, that there are wonky eyeballs….

As far as agreements, could the problem possibly be:

            Everyone throws things together in slapdash fashion, does not get documents to RantWoman or does not put things in writing so everyone can verify and review, and then all nods in agreement before RantWoman can even get recognized to speak? As data in support of this point, RantWoman appreciates acknowledgment in a Business Meeting awhile ago that yes, many people besides RantWoman appreciate having the Business Meeting Materials emailed out in advance.

            Stuff does muddle out of RantWoman’s head on the way home. Sometimes this is conversation in a car. Sometimes it is bus muddle. RantWoman notes one recent moment where some seasoning by email on a short timeline MIGHT have been desirable and is happy to take responsibility for not specifically asking about Friends’ willingness to do that.

Here in terms of experience, RantWoman is happy to file: This is in reference to

         Long ago service on a certain committee

         The care and Accountability Committee’s efforts to try to get RantWoman to agree to things without interacting with whether RantWoman in fact CAN let alone agrees she is called to do as asked.

            The Current minute on Common Understandings.  God in his / her peculiar wisdom keeps sending people of widely varying abilities and disabilities to earth and telling the to figure out how to get along. RantWoman does not find said minute conducive to getting along. To cite just one example, the thing about “Do not speak at length.” What if the message from God is lengthy??? What if it challenges people’s images of themselves or of some hard reality?

RantWoman is seasoning all of these points. RantWoman has made a number of important observations about many different topics in email. Recently minutes are all about how difficult RantWoman is and not about important points of relevance to many parts of Meeting life. If RantWoman saw in minutes even one scintilla of evidence that others are thinking about and resonate with RantWoman’s concerns, RantWoman might be clear that the Meeting does not need the information she is trying to provide. RantWoman is aware of a sense of help not asked for, help people do not appear to think they need.

And RantWoman is going to stop here and MAYBE work in time on her other blog for a #SuckItAbleism about straw bans, ocean pollution, and making a difference.

Thank you in advance for holding in the Light as you read. RantWoman at the moment can hold in the light more expeditiously than she can edit.
