ChauncyDevega's latest #Salon piece w/hero, #Dr.JohnGartner, who has started a petition for licensed for licensed professionals to sign, "We Diagnose Trump W/Probable Dementia": "Trump’s a classic case of dementia. He ticks all the boxes. He’s shown a precipitous decline from his baseline—He once had a rich vocabulary & spoke in polished paragraphs. & he shows the classic disturbances in memory, language, behavior, & motor performance that we see in dementia patients."

This isn't a new intro but I picked up some new followers in the recent exodus & wanted to share a book I wrote with #neurologist#Dr.BruceMiller: Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain. It's about my beloved dad's early-onset Alzheimer's. #JohnsHopkinsUniversityPress published it & they are currently have an amazing sale. 40% til July 7th w/discount code H4JUL23 & free shipping on orders $50 or more. Here's the book website. https://weinsteinandmiller.com #EndAlz
#FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #worldalzheimersmonth

"Luxemburg gibt fünfmal mehr Geld für die Schiene aus als Deutschland"
Bei einem Arbeitsverweigerer als Verkehrsminister wie unserem Herrn Dr. Volker Wissing ist wahrscheinlich auch nicht vielmehr zu erwarten.
Dr. Volker Wissing treten sie zurück!
Shows about time travel are as old as well... time. But there's only one that's had thirteen different actors play the same lead character Doctor Who. And now we know when the Fourteenth Doctor will make their debut- hang on. He looks familiar......
Copied verbatim from my IG/FB posts with minor edits for names and local slang.

I am alive, but at what cost? The physical, psychological and professional damage is profound; I still live with chronic, albeit much less pain from how damaged my nervous system and brain has become; I still live in abject fear that the next time pain lances through me it’s getting cleaved with a claymore and not just a papercut; I still live running and chasing, held back from things I should have attained, compromising, sacrificing, wasting my youth playing catch-up.
But I’m still alive, and I have so many people to be thankful for. My endo surgeon and hepatopancreaticobilliary surgeon, for spending those six life-changing hours with me; my pain management attending, for his patience as I failed every single conventional pain medication, my intern year seniors, for desperately trying to get me to eat; the 9B nurses, who had to deal with me throwing up endlessly; and the head of benign gynaecology, who gave me the time and space to pull myself together to commit to the op… not to mention those not even directly involved in my care - mentors who stood by me every step of the way, the nurses who hugged me and gave me chocolate when they found me crying and crying and crying in the ward pantry, classmates who came to see me preop and postop, friends who sat with me in-game on pain-filled sleepless nights, and even the faculty who were incredibly accommodating throughout M5… the list goes on…
Objectively, post-excision life is better now.
I don’t spend every waking moment drowning in pain.
I don’t get accused of trying to skive if I have to take sick leave and explain myself to deaf ears.
I don’t have to titrate a whole fistful of analgesia, antiemetics, laxatives and PPIs anymore.
I can walk, and even run again.
And I can wear pants!!!!!!
Oh right, and I too am a doctor now, despite and in spite of my body failing me.
Painful periods are NOT NORMAL. I have been gaslit all my life by people around me - family, friends, doctors, the media, random people who think they know better - that it is normal for a period to be painful and that I need to suck it up and deal with it. NO. Absolutely not.
Pain is a fundamentally pathological process and should be respected and treated as such. ONE IN TEN women suffer from endometriosis, whether they know it or not.
It is not fair - abusive, even - to anyone experiencing pain of ANY KIND to be told it’s all in their head, they just need to be strong, or any other manner of gaslighting.
There is a cause and a cure, and it is negligent if not outright maleficent to not act on it.
Because today is the 1st #WorldLewyBodyDementia day, I'm sharing a page from the informative & whimsical glossary from my memoir written w/#neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller. Our goal is to give readers, #caregivers, persons with #dementia, a greater understanding of the diseases of dementia. Providing definitions of terms used by #doctors was especially important to me (not an MD) to include in the book b/c when my dad got sick, we didn't know any of this & it would have helped.

@stevesilberman's Instagram post @rmayemsinger . Read #Salon interviews w/#Dr.JohnGartner: "Most of us have known someone, possibly in our own families, who’s had Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. The diagnostic signs are not subtle. I was giving voice to what ordinary people see w/their own eyes, & they were grateful for validation from a mental health professional." When my father lost words (before he could no longer speak), he'd whistle to show he knew his loss & then try again.

As the saying goes, "Real BOFH use tar and rsync!"
The blog article is an excellent treatment of using tar along with SSH to effect a reliable backup plan and schedule.
Another couple of great fav GoTo solutions of mine have always been Duplicity and Duply for those not comfortable rolling their own scripts w/SSH, tar, and/or rsync :batman:
Thank you very much for sharing this @nixCraft !!!

@jeffjarvis. I canceled my #Post subscription after one too many bothsides articles. However, if you have a moment and a spare gift article, would you please post it? #Brain health, specifically #dementia, is a profoundly important issue to me (my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's). I post #ChaunceyDeVega's #Salon pieces, esp. those with #Dr.JohnGartner whenever he covers this issue and how #doctors and #neurologists are speaking out, sometimes. Thank you.
Drogenpolitik ist ja in aller Munde, ich möchte meinen Senf dazugeben:
Fragt mal jemanden aus Medizin, Rettung und Pflege, wie viele Menschen sie im Schnitt pro Schicht haben, die wegen dauerhaften Alkoholkonsums nicht mehr für sich selbst sorgen können?
Fragt jemanden aus der Sozialarbeit, z.B. Jugendamt, wie oft bei dramatischen Fällen Alkohol eine Rolle spielt
Guckt mal auf die Zahlen für problematischen Konsum bei Stat. Bundesamt.
Horrible, of course, but good. Quote him exactly so people hear what #psychologist#Dr.JohnGartner and over 2,000 people who work with people with #dementia have identified as #Trump's "probable dementia."
“The radical left — they’ve been after us for years, and they’ve screwing with people’s lives,” he said, without clarifying who else he was including in the statement. “They’ve gone out and hired lawyers, they’ve been with lawyers for years, being sucked dry.”
