Voyeurism is a sexual offence!

One of the most jarring things on rewatching Back to the Future is that Marty’s dad is introduced as a peeping tom (structurally essential to the film’s plot!), and the film shrugs it off like it’s just an endearing nerdy-guy moment

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.)

Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it.

On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.

Just finished putting together the hearts and banner for the #vancouver event. At the Vancouver Art Gallery Sunday 15th 11h30 a.m. start.

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay

Long Covid changed my life beyond recognition. I got ill. I never recovered. Lost my job. Became housebound. I rely on others to do things for me. I lie on my bed most of the day.

Watch the Guardian's short film about my life with #LongCovid 👇

It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay & co-incidentally my 4th anniversary of #LivingWithLongCovid.

Good news: every month I get that little bit better. I am the Queen of pacing!

Bad news: there is no cure, no treatment, just patience.

Sending love & spoons to all my fellow #ME/CFS #LC friends today.

The image shows a person standing in what appears to be a modern convenience store or small market. They're wearing a light blue button-up shirt and yellow pants, with sunglasses tucked into their shirt collar. They're positioned next to a candy display section clearly labeled "CANDY" with various confectionery items on shelves. The wall behind them has white subway tiles with orange text that reads something about "NO CHECKOUT" and "WALK OUT SHOPPING," suggesting this might be an automated store where customers can take items and leave without traditional checkout.

When I got Long Covid, I was 38 and healthy. If you are anything like I was then, it is hard to understand how bad Long Covid is. I think that we all have an instinct to just… look away. But, please, it is important that you look. #LongCovidAwarenessDay

It's Long Covid Awareness Day. I know ~10 people (still) suffering from life-altering Long Covid. The only 'special' thing about me? I've been public about my own illness, so I hear stories others don't. Long Covid is widespread, devastating, and deserves everyone's attention

6 year Covidversary. The guy at the bakery thought this was a joke but it’s not 💔 #LongCovid took everything. My career, marriage, ability to stand, move, think, make art, maintain friendships, be an aunt/daughter/mother, my beloved forests & mountains & waters, my faith in humans, every last dream

New from @latimes.com:

“Yet new COVID infections are producing new #LongCovid patients. People who were healthy and active just a few months ago are still arriving at USC’s clinic with cardiovascular and cognitive problems that have upended their lives.”

I aim to confuse

It is funny

9YO had not heard of Cash and Nico (but is watching Minecraft videos on YouTube as I write): we will check out with thanks for the tip!

FNF is also big in our household (and is also stupidly hard)!

Haha our kids are clearly well-aligned! It was indeed EVW 9YO was telling me about, and he sings the gangster rap non-stop (and plays the level). Very cool that your son is creating himself, I will share with 9YO :)

I have played it, and am AWFUL

9YO was just telling me about a Geometry Dash player who “is really good, even though he’s 39 years old”. I am 44. I will never recover from this devastating blow

Epilogue: I got another email like this today, and then I looked up the paper and discovered that it was real, I had co-authored it and then forgotten about it

Pretty bold to include a hallucinated citation putatively written by the very person to whom you are applying

Your work on Gaussian processes for environmental modeling (“Active Learning of Environmental Models,” Osborne et al., 2012) and multi-objective optimization for sustainability trade-offs (“The Automation of Science,” King et al., 2009, with your contributions) directly informs my methodological approach. I propose: 1. Bayesian optimization to identify high-impact monitoring

My work is so influential that prospective PhD students are now being influenced by papers that an LLM thinks I wrote but actually did not

Efficacy of universal masking for source control and personal protection from simulated cough and exhaled aerosols in a room Face masks reduce the expulsion of respiratory aerosols produced during coughs and exhalations (“source control”). Factors such as the directions in which people are facing (orientation) and separation distance also affect aerosol dispersion. ...

You’d think so, but to my knowledge this question has only been addressed in lab settings e.g. Lindsley et al. (2021),
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC..., Patel et al. (2016)
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....

Source control is more effective than receiver control (intuitively)
