The first slides in what I believe is my first non-technical slide deck - through which I power[Point]ed this evening (at the @writersguildab.bsky.social Pub Night), hopefully in a someday-I-might-even-write-a-visual-poem way.

Never owned a sentence pointer, but I...recognize all the methods. Currently in neutral-land -- sans leaves due to, well, winter. (Might try conifer needles, however.)
A morning poll! Which one are you?
I’m usually chaotic good and occasionally neutral evil or chaotic evil. 😈

Not sure how to reconcile the pieces of info pertaining to score and gender; still a good read.
Was there a diff. in scores by gender? Would two hypothetical physicians, M&F, scores X&X-75 have the same odds of having an NDC (F: -45% odds; -75 pts: +45% odds)?

Got to go inside the new, restored Notre Dame today. Incredible light. It all looks brand new somehow. Astonishing to think how they rebuilt this roof. Even crazier to think they were able to build this to begin with centuries ago.
