Just a reminder: No one is dispensable. No human being is disposable. The disabled and immunocompromised are not expendable.

Okay, Pro-tip here for Microsoft Office 365 users: Editor > Settings > Inclusivity. Tick the boxes. Your spellchecker will now help you to start overcoming your subconscious biases. (It's a brilliant feature. I wish they'd make more noise about it).

I am very impressed with how the new #MicrosoftEdge 'Read[s] aloud' the text on a web page. It is 'built-in'. No need to install an extension. It's free. There isn't a limit how much it will read. That was always an issue w/ other browsers The US English voice sounds excellent.
