RantWoman is grateful to someone attending the FLGBTQC worship for recommending this year's annual Swarthmore lecture from Woodbrooke.
There are many great quotes to harvest / distill though RantWoman has not done so yet.
"It's in British" as a very weighty Friend who had worked in the London office of FWCC once said of a document about data privacy she wanted RantWoman to interpret. The speaker, Tom Shakespeare has written several books about disability which RantWoman will immediately add to her "mean to read" list.
RantWoman will also find it frighteningly easy to digress about terms she needs to have more commonly understood by Friends around her. Terms such as "alternate formats" and "the Marrakesh treaty" the international regime under which blind people can get access across borders to materials in alternate formats such as braille or large print. RantWoman is not super up on how negotiations go about rights related to ebooks and audio books but definitely lumps both into her mental categories of "alternate formats."
And RantWoman just invoked the holy search engine of her choice to note, after considerable delay, in February 2019 the US Senate ratified and President Orange ... even SIGNED documents to ratify this treaty.
WIPO item about US ratification of Marrakesh Treaty All this is a long-winded way of saying, RantWoman thinks there is a pretty good chance she will be able to find this Mr. Shakespeare's books in a format accessible to her.

With that, RantWoman will let this moment of blindness tourism come to an end and invite everyone just to enjoy the video with the understanding that there is a pretty good chance, RantWoman will need to go off again at some point about a standing invitation from God to show up in all her flaming vexatious LOVING glory and not particularly on the schedules understood by others who think they rather than God are in charge.
