"Hidden away for centuries in a Transylvanian church tower, a forgotten medieval library has come to light, revealing treasures as old as the 9th century. This extraordinary discovery of manuscripts, books, and documents offers a rare glimpse into the intellectual and cultural life of medieval Romania." npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #roses #DopplerEffect npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #disability #accessibility #ASL npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #plural #squid #TGIF npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW Legitimate question npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #books #reading npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW Just watched "It's Quieter in the Twilight", a lovely documentary about the aging Voyager mission. Voyager's only 3 years away from turning 50, which is amazing! npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #Schrodinger #StarWars #StarTrek npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW #ADHD #AuDHD #Autism #Women npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW How to FOIA (gift link): npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19dj…n6qc Years ago when I was searching for a diagnosis, a doctor told me I wasn't tired enough to have CFS/ME (back then people weren't talking about PEM). Reading this makes me realize he only recognized people at the severe end. I do wish this document included a description of mild the way it does for other levels. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19dj…n6qc @npub1e8a…ywn3 I didn't even try to seize the day yesterday, just gently approach it, yet it turned on me with a vengeance. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW Librarians rule! npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19kr…8m4r I wasn't talking about the regular columnists, but about who they choose for opeds. I think both papers have some abysmal regular columnists. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19kr…8m4r not as good as it was, but their health coverage is better, they don't have NYT's bias against psych meds, I think their international coverage is less biased. They still have a few good columnists and they don't sink as low in their opeds. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19kr…8m4r Also sad because WaPo is the better paper, IMO. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW I've had this happen for things that I normally wouldn't even find difficult - at times I'm completely unable to identify what triggered it for a specific task. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW For all of us with invisible disabilities. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW Just discovered this essay by @npub1vmn…l97t on the lack of friendships between disabled people in SFF. As he says, "[b]eing a disabled character is lonelier than being a real person...Especially in our beautiful Genre of Ideas, where we seek to explore everything in the human condition, the friendships of the disabled should flourish. We should not be alone in our stories." npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW The hazards of TV npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub12ez…uyf6 Is "The Measure of Our Age" the book you wrote about a while ago. Our mother's wonderful gerontologist just recommended we read it, have downloaded it now. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19kr…8m4r I read the first two reviews from Sasha Patkin on @npub1mxz…hhv9 - they are an exciting addition to an already excellent news source. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub19kr…8m4r @npub1mxz…hhv9 npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW Journalist Ed Yong announced he's left The Atlantic. As many of you know, his work on the effects of long Covid, CFS/ME, and related chronic illnesses has been excellent and empathetic. He says that the best way to keep track of what he's up to is my newsletter, The Ed’s Up: https://buttondown.email/edyong209 npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW An MIT student asked AI to make her headshot more ‘professional.’ It gave her lighter skin and blue eyes. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub1rax…8p4w I was stunned by the level of vitriol in this opinion piece. Not what I expect from WaPo. npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW @npub1psd…9sr7 My part-time job in college was FORTRAN programming on an IBM 360/65 for a physics research group. Disk packs you could wrap your arms around, reel-to-reel 7-track and 9-track tapes. Punch cards really improved my typing skills - who wants to wait an hour for the operator to run your job only to find out it bombed because of a typo? npub1m6c7ve5e7cuvvafcjzzfe0kgl5ruk4rcvu8hrmnvymlyjq28v6assvkh79 MeredithW "The odd thing about people who had many books was how they always wanted more... Here he was; there they were. Why were he and they not together somewhere private, they falling gently open under his fingers, he exploring their mysteries, they luring him, enthralling him, captivating him with every turn of phrase, every revealing page?"
