A quick reminder that computers cannot be "taught" nor can they "read". We should not be anthropomorphising them.

SciVal continues to baffle, but is maybe starting to detect my publications? Still, I'm not sure how it thinks I have 16 publications, but an h-index of 17 (since h-index CANNOT exceed number of publications, by definition)...
(Side note, I have >50 that should show up in there, but NAME CHANGE.)

Wow... so my article on gender euphoria hit about 1,000 reads, then trickled up. The censorship one is at 13,000 and counting!
I think that's probably more reads than all of my research papers combined ever. 🤣

Thanks for the panic attack, Apple Mail. (Note this turned out to be "rejoinders", which is fine and expected, but I thought it was "rejection".)

I don't know who needs to hear it, but you're allowed to enjoy the euphoria when it hits. I find that even in the joyful moments, I try to stop myself. I'm sure there's some growing up trans trauma behind it.
Anyway, this is me. No makeup. No glasses. Just going to do mom things.
