Friday Video

Sorry about missing the last two days. My life got oddly busy in ways I wasn't expecting. Things are a little more relaxed again, so here's a video for this Friday, suggested by a subscriber ...

## Long Road Home

Vimeo - April 9, 2024

Shared by paid subscriber Mark Johnson

This recommendation came in earlier in the week, and I decided then I would share it today. But yesterday, it became very sadly appropriate, with news of the President Trump starting [an effort to make it easier to forcibly institutionalize](https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/07/24/trump-homeless-forced-hospitalization-executive-order/?ref=disability-thinking-weekday.ghost.io) people with mental health disabilities. If that seems like a different group targeted, a different topic and issue from, say, wheelchair users in nursing homes, then think again, and use your imagination. There will be more to say about this on Monday.

Until then, have a nice weekend!
