Every day is #SevereMEDay for me: 1267 of them, to be precise. I miss meeting new people. I miss going out for anything other than medical appointments. I miss independence. I miss feeling the sun and the breeze. It's been three years of being of this world but not in it. hashman.ca/me-cfs/

I am very sick

In October 2022, I was diagnosed with ME/CFS. In February of last year, it got a lot worse.

AI is going to trash every single way that we had modernised university teaching and send us back to handwritten exams and vivas for every assessment. Which will bring back every problem with those assessment models (and make us seem even more out-of-touch even as we just try to do meaningful work).
