1. "The book is on the table" saga or... Ou est la plume de ma tante.

FINALLY: the first draft was just sent to my amazing editor/"revision eagle" and to the foreword writer both of which will remain anonymous for the time being. @RoninInstitute @IGDOREinstitute Image
2. I have no idea if the book will be dedicated to these people, this way or not. It's just there. All I know is that meeting the first deadline is such a relief... I'm just flying around the living-room after observing eagles flying.

3. This is my first "hybrid-indie" production. My appreciation for my previous publishers grew so much. Publishing a book is serious shit. But I got my ISBNs, designer friends to help and my great brother @LaerteCoutinho1 for the cover!
4. The book IS on the table! La plume de ma tante est ici!

5. Much love to @Grammarly . I had to divide the text in 5 parts to pass it through the software and it seems I can install it on MS word. Today, I have no idea how I survived and published without @Grammarly . Just knowing it here on my computer is reassuring.

1. @Google , I'm a paying client and I would like to continue using your browser. Unfortunately, @Microsoft has infested millions of computers with a browser hijacker that redirects the default browser to a virus called @bing . This is a felony.
2. The next step was @MicrosoftStore's "clarification" that @bing is not a virus, but a legitimate browser. It is not. I am quite competent as a desktop computer user, having written my Ph.D. dissertation in 1994 in Win 3.1, the best MS version to this day. Bing is a malware.
3. Unfortunately, the US federal government "strongly suggests" residents to use @googlechrome as the browser to file official documents. I have proof of that. And now, I can no longer use @Google on Chrome because of the browser hijacker imposed by @Office

@NitaGhei 1. Hi, Nina, I read your great article, which called my attention for being an issue I have been insisting on for some time. First of all, let me offer you the link to my book on suicide where I tackled this issue (it's free for download):

researchgate.net/publication/34…
@NitaGhei 2. I'm originally a molecular parasitology and then a Ph.D. in sociology of science, with an emphasis on scientometrics. The first thing that caught my eye was the misinterpretation of "opioid deaths" epidemiological curves.
@NitaGhei 3. Your claims about the curves representing entirely different sociological phenomena (chronic pain patient consumption X black market synthetic opioid expansion) is obvious for anyone minimally trained in quantitative analysis.

1. It's not ok to "educate" the public on the harms of whatever drugs, or xenobiotic substances, or however they may frame it, if they don't even know how many valances carbon takes and why.
2. It's not ok to "educate" the public on an epidemic, or a pandemic, if they don't have some fairly advanced statistics training and, specifically, epidemiology statistics training.
3. It's not ok to "educate" any audience about whatever it is that affects their physiological functioning if they do not have a proven record of higher physiology education (as in a diploma, not a "certificate").

1/ Tired of getting the exact same response from your office eleven times, between September 2021 and today, I decided to publish the case. You will probably continue to ignore my application, as well as those of thousands of other freelancers and immigrants.
@SBAgov
2/ As you can see in the image below, you are requesting my 2019 tax return and the 4506-T form. I submitted these documents all eleven times you requested it, because it was necessary for you to reconsider your rejection. @SBAgov
3/ The fact that the reply email is always exactly the same, regardless of what documents I attach and what I write is evidence of the neglectful attitude you have with a certain class of clients to which I belong. You don’t examine certain cases, and you do not read our emails.

1. I am not sure if this @COPDFoundation program for distributing #harmonica s and helping COPD patients learn them is still up. I wish I had read more on this last year because it could have saved my Dad a lot of suffering.

2. This is my Dad's harmonica and the beginning of my own music/memory/something else journey. I gave it to him about 25 years ago when his harp was stolen during a break in.
3. Dad had COPD and his doctor prescribed breathing physical therapy. I couldn't enforce the doctor's orders - dysfunctional family issues. He died in June 25, after a few hospitalizations with dehydration and pneumonia.

1. Today I got my Hohner Marine Band and my Suzuki pro master.

Yes, they sound completely different from one another. Yes, they sound great, they are easy to hold and to play.
This is it for now.
2. Studying and playing the harmonica is probably the one single meaningful activity that I am able to engage with without pain or hesitation.
3. Because lifting is limited by the spinal injury for now, or done with pain, and writing has hit one of those hesitation points in which the writer struggles with precision, with necessity, with sufficiency, and with style.
