a fascinating thing about covid vax is that despite the covid surges happening cyclically in late summer and late Dec, we persist in sticking to the flu vaccines schedule of sep/oct. so like, right after the summer surge and far enough away from winter surge for vax to start waning ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ

I think one of my biggest pieces of advice as a historian is make or acquire physical copies of everything. Articles, essays, booksโ€”all of it. Considering the kind of people that own online media outlets, none of the things you read today are guaranteed to be there tomorrow. Print them.

Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome Large study suggests peopleโ€™s genetics could โ€˜tip the balanceโ€™ on whether they would develop the illness

"But scientists called the work a milestone that put the illness on an equal footing with other debilitating diseases and opened potential avenues for treatments."

More on the world's largest M.E. study to date.

With improvement, he was able to report that he had recently noticed new-onset facial acne and cherry angiomas, fatigue, insomnia, subtle ataxia, and polydipsia, further suggesting bromism. He also shared that, after reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet. For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.
Gradually, over the course of a 3-week admission, his chloride and anion gap normalized and psychotic symptoms improved. He was tapered off risperidone before discharge and remained stable off medication at a check-in 2 weeks after discharge. His bromide level ultimately was 1700 mg/L (21 mmol/L; reference range, 0.9 to 7.3 mg/L).

Wild case of ChatGPT almost killing a guy by telling him to substitute sodium bromine for table salt (sodium chloride) #medsky www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

A stained glass panel depicting Captain Janeway holding a steely blue coffee mug. She is standing in her ready room, which is somehow all grey/purple/green to me (and I had glass to match!), in front of a long horizontal window through which space can be seen.

A round patch featuring a Hitachi Magic Wand. The top of the patch reads โ€œSPECIAL FORCESโ€ in silver. Three silver stars and its cable surround the wand on a black background, and the patch is rimmed in silver thread. 

Itโ€™s on top of a faux leather vest onto which I will probably sew it.

This might be my new favorite patch...

Gotta get working on this vest (itโ€™ll likely be done just in time for jacket season).

An excerpt from the CIA manual for Simple Sabotage. Excerpt reads:
Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

Politely, to the exhausted Cinemark employee who is checking my bag for illicit snacks:
No, no, it's not what you think! :) those are just my two or three dozen large moths

Can you believe I hadn't seen Babette's Feast until last Saturday. Called my mum to chat on Sunday. she wondered where she went wrong.
Also, The Keep (1983) was less major but still was SO STRANGE neither my friend or I had seen it over the years.

Always wanted to cosplay a ff character with African fabrics. I had the vision for Relm so I decided to try this out for Natural Hair Academy, a con focused on celebrating black culture.
Pretty satisfied with the result, look forward to wear her again.

I remember saying this after coming out during Trump 1... it was a hell of a time then too. There's never a "perfect" time to come out.

Even if we lose every protection possible in law, we still have each other, and there will be places we can exist safely, obtain our care, and thrive.

How to Stay Covid Safe When in Hospital A guide to navigating the risk of hospital acquired Covid - as well as how to manage overall risk of nosocomial infections and hospital derived complications.

Another hospital trip in the books where I was the only person masking.

Another hospital trip where I had to beg and plead to get staff to even wear a surgical.

Another hospital trip of eye rolls, sighs and accusations of โ€œanxietyโ€.

No one should have to choose between care and covid
