5 big questions we still need to answer about long covid

Currently reading: Ducks by Kate Beaton πŸ“š

Finished reading: The Magic Kingdom by Russell Banks πŸ“šLoved it though I can’t say exactly why. Mainly the voice of the main character, full of a regret that somehow felt relatable and useful.

Woo hoo, I’m at 69 books read for the year and expect to finish a few more before Dec. 31. Maybe I’ll catch up to @artkavanagh. Very happy to have Micro.blog Bookshelves keeping track, though it would be awesome if it would do the math for us LOL!

Is web development personal expression?

The Supreme Court case about the web developer believing she has the right to discriminate seems off to me. I know many people who create websites for a living. I don’t think they consider themselves artists who are putting themselves into their work. A good website represents the client, not the developer. Am I wrong? Here’s an essay by the always brilliant Robin Givhan where I think she agrees with me.

My column was misconstrued in a Supreme Court brief

Finished reading: The Balliols by Alec Waugh πŸ“šSo unexpectedly good! Written in 1934, looking back at 1900-1925. Lots about the role of women changing, lots about the disappointments post-WW1. Highly recommended.

Finished reading: The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings πŸ“šI didn’t love it. Parts of it were great, a lot of it was preachy.

Shoutout to @acfusco for writing such wonderful short stories for Micro.blogvember. You are an inspiration to us all. You didn’t just go for safety, you took chances and we all benefited.

I ain’t got nothing to say today. So it’s just fish.

Just reported a bug to Apple. When I use my iPad in Sidecar mode to hold the Zoom window, thus freeing up the rest of my iMac for screen share, etc., the iPad becomes very unstable and Zoom often freezes to the point of unusability. Worked fine under iPadOS 15. @burk

Yeah, my weight is definitely trending higher after the past food-filled week. I’m counting on intermittent fasting to bring it back down to normal.

What’s my motivation for looking at Mastodon at all? I’m pondering when to use Mastodon and when to use Micro.blog. I have a vague idea that Micro.blog is for friends, even though I’ve met none of you, and Mastodon is for professional interests. But I haven’t found those folks.

Desperate COVID long-haulers turn to costly, unproven treatments

Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that almost 15 percent of the population has had long COVID, or symptoms that lasted three months or longer after the acute infection.
