Been a while since I selfied. I was packing and found my chemo cosplay wigs. So here's me being red. #selfie #thursdaymood

In 2006 Standardistas were cool. Different ideas, but clearly we're still making, using and abusing #CSS. :D

500,000 in the US will die by 2025 HCV complications. Already more have died from that virus than HIV/AIDs. HBV/HDV same. EBV can cause shingles, chronic fatigue and deadly cancer. How many US with EBV? 90%. 125,000 new p/year. HPV? 79 million.
Oncoviruses. A new genetic enemy.
Despite the extreme rarity of my condition, (> 2 people per million) I'm in prestigious and fascinating company. Madame Curie died of it (due to radium poisoning) as did Eleanor Roosevelt (who succumbed to infection due to no white cells, specifically TB). This is why I isolate.

There is an orphan drug now allowed outside of the chemo/immunotherapies called Promacta. We'll see. Most patients like me didn't get the stimulants EPO and Neupogen. My age, that's 6 years life extension. Swart's got me at 7+ years now. I had you. Love, support through awful.

Splenic sequestration is usually associated with Sickle Cell Anemia. I have Bone Marrow Aplasia. It's sequestering platelets not red cells. My reds came all the way back with Epo. Whites are low. Normal platelets start at 150k. I hover around 30-40k. Transfusions do not last.

I saw my beloved Oncologist/Hematologist Rachel Swart M.D. Ph.D. at @ArizonaOncology. 8 vials of blood. Last year I walked out of @CCCNevada for enlarged spleen. 80 seconds. No exam. No blood. I didn't look back. Dr. Swart tested hard. Splenic Sequestration Syndrome. It stays in.

This is my singular/duality problem. It is not one. It is not yours or mine that's right or wrong. There are many options and it takes experience, strategy, analysis, vision, collaboration and compromise. Money and charter policy have choked off @W3C. It's IMO the Academy limits.

And, I would be most excited to have JS-First and JS Framework contributors/devs to talk with a bit more about our tools, inclusion, things we can each do to help each other. There used to be the backend/frontend dev hate. Now we have front, back, full. We all learn, we grow.

Snark goes so far. I want to help. Conditions: I want poking and peer review input. Goal: CSS current specification explained in specific, easy, meaningful bits no longer than a paragraph of detail with an example. Master user agents, master the tools. Strategize wider. SCALE UP!

Despite enjoying color and esthetics as a study and for environment, I came to appreciate real #WebDesign when @mezzoblue pub'd CSS Garden. Working on the book Zen of CSS with him pushed me a bit to make peace with -prefixes for progressive #CSS, interop and backward compat.
