Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Dear #radsky and #neurosky and neuroradiology professionals, Those familiar with neurocysticersosis in particular: Alot of examples of NCC imaging show not just a circle with an eccentric dot, but *two* dots, one large one small. Is it the shape of the cesstode's head, an artifact, or?

Here are a couple of the "circle with dot sign" suspects I mentioned in my previous post (red arrows). The skinny green arrow is just another random shape I was curious about-- I think I've seen it on other people's MRIs. T2 Brain MRI from 2023.

I have this problem where I point out the wrong details. It's got to do with executive dysfunction and impaired prioritization, and if you've read my posts then you probably gathered that. In reviewing my neuroimaging studies from the last seven years, there are a couple of items that stand out.

This is important... Particularly for anyone likely to become disabled, sick, or elderly in the course of their life! (a good indicator of which, is being made of meat).

The world burns, and I focus on minutiae. A lot of us with undiagnosed progressive illness must feel this. I heard Atul Gawande on the radio weeks ago talking about the massive, devastating consequences of the United States abruptly defunding health research abroad.

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

This post is about the soft tissue neck CECT I had in January. It links to a complete scrollable study, if you like that sort of thing.

I posted TWO blog posts today (::pat, pat::). This one is about ENT visits and MRI reviews.

There are no *small* concessions to our values.

Shaping and polishing opals.

Good morning, BlueSky! I've begun printing parts for SweetgumNYC's DIY lapidary all-in-one machine! I've definitely spent more than $75... That said, I'm delighted with the project and the new skills I'm learning. Knowing how things work opens so many possibilities!

Greetings, #medsky, #radsky, #ENT people. I would like to ask a question I haven't had any luck answering on my own: Does bright T2 signal at the fossa of Rosenmueller mean anything ?

More and more states are realizing that sub-minimum wage is unfair and devalues people with disabilities. It's time to end sub-minimum wage across the country! #RaiseTheWage #FairPay www.fox5atlanta.com/news/georgia...

Where did I put that opal...

Re-reposting the same day because I realized the video was not an improvement over the first photo. Here are some slightly better photos that I had to crawl around on the deck to take and I refuse to have suffered for nothing so here they are!

Managed to get a better polish! I know it could go further, but I broke it *again*, twice, so I'm calling this done and sticking it in a shadow box. I was unable to find a "before" photo, but this is essentially the original shape of this opal, with sand cleaned out and edges smoothed.

No one is tracking this as closely as my friend Christina, and she's in the UK!
