Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.
As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Now one interesting wrinkle is that, in 1776, they can no longer appeal to the ancient rights of Englishmen as the basis for their claim, since they're seeking independence
Thus the Declaration uses entirely general and universal language in stating the basic Lockean principles

An important lesson for clinicians and caregivers, where you find the humanity you will find light. People with dementia have the same basic joys and fears as the rest of us. Humor, love, nostalgia, beauty are powerful tools.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

How to answer an incoherent brief:
First, these briefs usually have far more words than actual statements or arguments. Read through it carefully & summarize (a) what it actually says and (b) what it suggests or implies. I do this by writing those points in the margin/1

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Things that matter to me generally in professional team sports (in no particular order):
1. Do I have a geographical affinity/connection?
2. Is the mascot a bird?
3. What are the team colors?
There are other things that are sport-specific, of course.
