I decided (would have been around 15 ya, actually!) that if I ever got a tattoo it would be of that exact Camus quote, or more likely just “invincible summer” inside my wrist. Still haven’t gotten one but if I ever do it’ll still be that.

Waiting for a screening at my Toronto family practice at a downtown hospital & can report it is entirely optional & unpopular, during a menacing flu season & ongoing COVID, for both staff & patients despite the check-in robot telling rather than asking me to put on a mask.

Ugh I'm so sorry. Final terms 4 the class seem wrong, esp since it isn't just about money but about Anthropic having to destroy works in question and confirm they've done so. Being in the LibGen dataset, having ISBN, being in date range but not registered in US... (incl by a US publisher!!!)...GRRR

yes I've checked. I'm not eligible although my 2021 book was in The Atlantic's Anthropic list.
