Hey Fediverse.
If you were filling in a profile on a website and there was a dropdown list for gender,
1) is there any argument for having a 4th option beside female / male / non-binary?
2) is there a better word or short phrase for non-binary that would annoy fewer people? Is "other" better, or offensive to anyone?

Content warning: Medical stuff / MRI selfie

On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

Yeah, I won't be playing tennis tonight, despite wonderful weather.
On the plus side, I've managed to retain both lungs, and my throat now only feels like a brillo pad rather than a cheese grater.
Feeling much better thanks 🙂

Will do a proper #FieldDiary tomorrow but suffice to say, today went even better than hoped. Instruments behaved, weather cooperated our local hunter friend got us smoothly into the field. Looking forward to seeing what it all means now...
