@LeahTCodes I’m up to about 4.5 miles/day and it’s become an absolutely essential self care activity.

@leonnoel @t3dotgg Glad you found some answers!! Hope things improve soon ❤️

[Leon Noel 🔥 @leonnoel]

I think @t3dotgg saved my life...

For the past year, I've had severe brain fog. Unable to concentrate, unable to retrieve certain words, and constant complaints to my psychiatrist that I felt like I was only cognitively half there. Just a complete and total reduction in what I know I was capable of getting done.

Lot's of tests, blood work, doctor visits, nothing...

We assumed that it was just my Bipolar meds finally catching up and leading to cognitive decline. I've been stable on these meds for a few years and was faced with switching meds & the possibility of life shattering mania or trying to fight on with a cognitively empty tank. I fought on...

I typically spend 10+ hours a day teaching/streaming/working in my home office. Also, we have a guest bed in there, so it is not uncommon for me to nap/sleep over night in there too. One of my doctors recommended I check the air quality of the room in which I spend so much time, so I bought an air quality monitor and everything seemed fine.

Fast forward to me seeing @t3dotgg post with their CO2 monitor and I had a lightbulb moment of panic wondering if my office has a build up of CO2 which would explain my cognitive issues... I checked my monitor and realized it only monitored CO AND NOT CO2. This whole time I thought I was in the clear and bought it specifically for CO2, but I had been looking at the completely wrong thing... I blame the cognitive impairment 😢

I bought TWO CO2 monitors and yeah... under my normal conditions I'm sitting at ~1800ppm and I've seen it spike to 2500+ regularly

"In fact, at 1400 ppm, CO2 concentrations may cut our basic decision-making ability by 25 percent, and complex strategic thinking by around 50 percent, the authors found." - https://t.co/jqyxGUg7Ct

The science is a little all over, but safe to say I have been messing up my brain for a few years...

Since I am teaching / streaming, my windows are closed and even my door has a dampening sheet to cut down on noise and echo. I'm looking into ways of bringing fresh air in without introducing noise and working with my doctors to help reverse the effects of what I've been going through...

So PLEASE check your air quality esp CO2

If you are a content creator please get some fresh air and take some breaks while streaming/recording esp if in a "sound proof" room with all the windows closed for hours every day... 😭

I'm attending Google Developer Groups GDG Portland w/ November Meeting - In-person! on Nov 13, 2023. Anybody else?? #100Devs

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@tlakomy @mattpocockuk And it's beautiful!! Can't wait to get into it someday soon.

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

Having so much fun at @measure_music 2023! My team and I need to collect some data for our hackathon project. Could you beautiful people answer me this: Has the ticket price stopped you from going to a concert in the last year?

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@abishop416 Trying to get back up to speed after a bit of a break! Gotta kick the hunt into high gear soon 🚀 congrats on the new role!

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@SamuelScheit @nutlope @LaurenceBrem I was just looking at Replicate's pricing and I have the same question.

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@kerraspring Yay!! It’s my first hackathon, I’m feeling a lot of feelings about it 😆

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

Super excited to participate in @measure_music hackathon and build something cool at the intersection of music and data! Any fellow #100Devs joining us?

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@jasonalba You can thank TurboTax (Intuit) and their buddies for this delightful annual bullshittery. https://t.co/ii5Se90Ygw

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@Codingwithroy Nice trick! This is definitely good to know! I'm on Windows so I started using PowerToys for the color picker and it turned out to have a bunch of other handy features too.

[Leah Godfrey @missbabelfish]

@austin_malerba @framer @chakra_ui Super cool! I couldn't stop scrolling up and down 😆
