as the facct rebuttal period is in session, let me repeat what i've always said: critique is service! identifying & mapping the problem space is in & of itself a legitimate scientific contribution. we can’t proceed to “solve” a problem if we don't have a clear & comprehensive understanding of it

We’ve also had different specialists make action plans for common situations, eg because respiratory infections are frequent. (This turned into an info dump, and I apologize if I’m missing what you needed. I’ve learned too many lessons the hard way, which motivated me to err toward oversharing.) 4/4
I also learned a lot from asking after ED visits, Did we make the right decision to come in? What are the signs you would look for that would indicate the need to come in? eg, this helped me hone understanding of signs of respiratory distress, which is an automatic ED visit. 3/4
Sometimes it’s available by text on their website or patient portal, but usually by phone. Virtual immediate care is also useful in this regard. I’m realizing I don’t have a good understanding of accessibility of these options. 2/4
I’m father to a medically complex and disabled child (countless doctor visits), but I was also raised as a Christian Scientist (very few doctor visits growing up). So, my barometer for visiting doctor is oddly developed. Our health system’s nurse consulting service has served us well re:triage. 1/4
Thank you!!
And @mollydb.bsky.social thank you for getting me into Becky Chambers!
Tagging @spavel.bsky.social to thank you for putting a recommendation for Amatka on my skyline
If you’ve read either, I’d love to hear your recommendations for other good reads! Currently and finally starting Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis series.
Two favorite books I read this year: Amatka by Karin Tidbeck made me think hard (fearfully?) about limits to my ability to imagine different ways of being; A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers (and the other three books in the series) expanded my ability to imagine hopeful futures.
Important publication (by @ginnybraun.bsky.social and co-authors) to add to any critical AI reading list.

Today I learned I can drop a set of PDFs onto Zotero and it will automatically construct citations. Presumably via the DOIs. I love it.
i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT
"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality
"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening
START WITH WHAT IT IS
not what it isn't
I definitely do not want an unsolicited and unreviewed LLM summary to be shown as the default abstract for my already-published ACM papers.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.
"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."
