#100DaysOfCode Day 6 (Jan 6)

- Bit of a low coding day as far as personal practice (still coded for my job, but nothing new lol). Researched some AWS architecture topics and read a couple of API Swaggers for a project.

COVID killed >100,000 people per year over the course of 2023 and 2024 in the US alone.

The level of indifference to this massive annual toll among both the public and the majority of my public health colleagues is stunning.

Going to knit and do some writing today— channel my many emotions into something creative, like my nonbinary pride blanket and my queer-and-disabled-as-hell high fantasy reimagining of “Tristan and Iseult”.

May be posting a little novel overview on the Patreon shortly! 👀

Starting the year with a manuscript accepted as first author! 😎 In this study, we show that E. Coli infection during pregnancy can induce loss of neurons in the fetal brain that is not rescued by antibiotic treatment. More evidence of the impact pathogens can have on the 🧠! Coming out soon! #Neuro

Please help us pay rent & survive?

Also last time, when this happened, there was NO Warning. I got the warning letter (postmarked after it happened) a WEEK later.

So as of now I have to assume something fucked up and I am starting the year with nothing.

Help? linktr.ee/wylder
We're still at $305/$3400 for 3 family's rent fundraiser

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

I have genuinely not seen a single nondisabled person speaking about the eugenics escalating right now, and while not unsurprising after 5 years of the Wayside™️, it still fucking sucks.

We NEED YOU to back us, nondisabled folks.

You’re either with us, or you’re a fascist.

There is no in between.

They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology—members of the Hall of Honor like Elisabeth Friedman and Ann Caracristi—and People of Color in Cryptologic History honorees—like Wash Wong and Ralph Adams. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity order. /2

Made sugar cookies for the kids. They are powdery (they’re meant to be) but good and quick to make. I didn’t have the energy for anything more time consuming.

what do you mean the pro-genocide people don’t care if we die? what do you mean i’m not special to them?
“Why aren’t the democrats doing anything?”

It’s almost like they have been fascistic enablers this whole time like leftists have been saying this whole time
