#AshmoleanAdvent Day 10: Evening Snow at Kiyomizudera
This woodblock print shows a view from inside the Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto on a snowy evening by Kawase Hasui.
Snow falls steadily, forming drifts on the wooden balcony. Through the pillars, two figures can be seen looking out.

Awesome: finally got my MCAS & POTS diagnoses today.
Awful: the key antihistamine for my therapy, ketotifen, is simply not available in my fucking country. Will have to try to get it in neighbouring country that I "commute to" anyway.

what you should do: repost art; write alt-text as much as you can; encourage others to do the same
what you shouldn't do: engage in harassment campaigns against people who don't write alt-text or repost art, either when they forget or ever. folks who use alt text never asked for this.

Much needed updates.
1. Hemlock was presented at CCS in Oct. We are working on releasing a usable tool in coming weeks.
2. Our next paper is peer-reviewed & accepted by USENIX Security 2026. It is a Model Provenance tool that computes "feature fingerprints" from genAI image models.

“It’s really exciting to me that air quality improved throughout the entiremetro area,” said Fraser. “This tells us that congestion pricing didn’t simply relocate air pollution to the suburbs by rerouting traffic. Instead, folks are likely choosing cleaner transportation options altogether”
NYC’s congestion pricing cleaned the air. This is also what happened when EZ-Pass was put in place in NJ.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

I've always thought that the whole "natural immunity is the best way to protect people" thing was a bit like saying "getting pregnant is the best form of birth control."
Anyway, cool to see it's better for the immune system to see vaccine before virus from an effectiveness standpoint too.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.
This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.
But it's not very far off.

These decorated wooden trenchers, made around 1600, would have been used as dining plates at banquets on special occasions. Placed face down on a table they would have held sugared fruits, marzipan or other sugary delicacies.
