I have since long before the pandemic, having gotten a certificate in online education in ‘14. I love the communities we make together, the vulnerability that comes with being in each other’s homes, the joy from meeting people’s pets & partners & progeny.

Kuang’s Katabasis? I devoured it in two days (good read for sure), and also OOF. So activated by all the academia content and a reminder of the low key cult we are a part of.

I too strongly disagree with many decisions he made. My disagreements stem from the fact his recommendations killed and disabled hundreds of thousands, if not millions, due to downplaying masking efficacy.
