Medscape · Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological DysfunctionBy Nathalie Raffier

I made the mistake of trying to spring clean the garden room/my study on a day after I had a full 8h sleep for the first time in >6mo.

Thing is my brain is working well enough to remind me I that I apparently hate absolutely everything and everyone and now I am too pissed off to clean and am just leaving everything like a dusty bomb went off in here.

Gonna go sit with my dog on the sofa and get another early night so that I can get right back to hating everything BRIGHT AND EARLY. #dysfunction

"Even the #paidjobs when they happen have much lower budgets and are employing fewer people.
This #dysfunction means that the “adjacent but still in the industry” jobs that used to pay for the #passionprojects are fewer and farther between. More and more people have to rely on unrelated day jobs (or spouses) to stay in the industry and the cold hard truth is that most of them will burn out and leave eventually."

As an engineer AND ESPECIALLY AS A MANAGER, I've encountered this so often.

Be wary. There's often **political** reasons for entrenched patterns like this, particularly when they are dysfunctional. You are likely to piss off someone who has motivated self-interest in keeping things this way.

Attempting to modify these sorts of behaviors risks activating an organization's immune system.

Ask me how I know... 🤦🏻‍♂️

"The truth is what facts are. I like facts. I like things to line up and be clear, and when we are honest and true about things, it helps things to make sense, and it cuts out a lot of the fat that gets in the way and causes for the misunderstandings that I believe lead to violence and... dysfunction, etc." ~ Amanda Seales

The #BloodBrainBarrier, a network of blood vessels and tissues that nurtures and protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the blood—is disrupted in #AlzheimerDisease. Now, researchers at #MayoClinic and collaborators have uncovered unique #molecular signatures of blood-brain barrier #dysfunction that could point to new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.
