This should be fun.

“Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

Time to tighten down on masking again:
"The Fast-Spreading New COVID-19 Subvariant XBB Is Part of a ‘New Class’ of Omicron"
XBB [aka Gryphon] is getting a lot of buzz because it spreads fast—and seems to be able to evade immunity that people have built up from having a previous COVID-19 infection or getting the vaccine, says William Schaffner, M.D....
What's this "current overall coso network sentiment" meter on my dashboard, and why is it full negative? @CoSoTips
#ADHD workaround: In addition to lots of timers/alarms on the phone, using body doubling (see flown.com), and so on...
....when I'm trying to focus, I use a 'stack' list. These are all the things I want to run off and do, but I'm trying to focus on Task A.
I'm working on 1 task for the last 90 minutes. My stack of things-I-want-or-need-to-do is 21 items long.
These are things I'd lose sight of, and some of them are important. (Some are just impulses. Some are important to me. It's a mix.)
