Without starting a fight, may I just say that if you deeply and profoundly understand the need for human contact as a result of Covid, you might consider doing something to help the people still at high risk from Covid access it, instead of acting in ways that excludes and isolates them.
Reading 'Your Data Will Be Used Against You' now - highly recommend!
I hate the speech too. And I hate even more that it doesn’t seem to make any difference and they all use AI anyway.
I’m reading To Catch a Fascist now - it’s really good!
And studies repeatedly show women are at higher risk for developing COVID!
I also take gabapentin for nerve issues and it has saved my life. Nerve issues are so much worse at night, and the not being able to sleep plus the actual nerve symptoms caused a lot of suicidal thoughts. I’m grateful for it!

I teach undergrad students going into the health professions, and their own use is rampant now.
Can’t imagine that would suddenly change if/when they make it to grad school…they’re already reliant on it. It is terrifying.
It’s Long Covid Awareness Day, and my sixth anniversary of being sick from it. My first impulse for commemorating this was to set all the meds and treatments I’ve tried to the tune of We Didn’t Start the Fire, or Tom Lehrer’s The Elements (which uses I Am the Very Model of A Modern Major General).
This is hilarious and terrifying for how accurate it is

This is amazing and so much better because of the accent. I could listen to him say “shitty” all day.

Just added that book to my reading list!
