Ah, do you mean “hate speech”?

Thanks! It is some consolation. 🫂

PhD thesis! 😅

Gluing my ass to the chair won’t be sufficient. I think I have some form of computer distraction addiction or undiagnosed ADHD, because when I am sitting at the computer I find it really hard to do what I need to do. I am able to find a universe of distractions by slightly moving my fingers, and I have an inordinate ability to psychologically (not rationally!!!) justify it as being somewhat useful. The only thing that saves me is that I can be very efficient when I do focus, but this has become more difficult as the complexity of the work increases, and so many different figures, tables, and concepts have to coalesce together to tell a story that I genuinely believe…

I would probably have a better chance trying to write with pencil and paper in an isolated island than with LaTeX in my computer…

Thanks! I’m at 90% now :) Things that affect the nerves are scary, but the doctor helped calm my fears as symptoms were consistent with a not-too-serious sinus infection.

Some virus managed to wreck inflammatory havoc around some of my nerves and the right side of my head has been numb since Thursday, my ear in pain, and a zoo of sporadic symptoms come and go 😅 So I have been in the computer a lot. I’ve been working on setting up a lemmy instance and I also played in the canvas.

As for the rest of the week… I have been procrastinating on thesis writing, and I need to be done before September, so I am trying to find a source of will-power to force myself to write. But this infection is not helping me 😬

Hairless cats are my favorite. So pink I guess.

I like to think that I am a good person…

I see you!
