Something I think people really don't understand about ME/CFS vs other fatigue illnesses is how the fatigue symptoms can be delayed for us, and how they accrete, like katamari damarcy.
We do feel exhaustion upon exertion, often much faster or with less effort than others expect. This is true!

This thread is so crucial for anyone dealing with ME/CFS or anyone who thinks they might have it.
Also so helpful for anyone who loves someone dealing with ME/CFS.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the MOST dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with OVER 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed STRONG antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

If the Democratic Party actually released an autopsy from 2024 we’d actually find out where all the money went, how billions were set on fire, and maybe find out which popular podcasts and liberal voices and personalities are being paid by the party.

Great thread.
Something I've noticed about disability rep is that we typically only show people with one singular profound illness. I think this creates an expectation in people's minds that you should only have one profound thing, and if you have multiple mild or moderate things then you must be lying.

Donald Trump granted legal permanent residency to that same student. Revoke his presidency!
(Note: I don’t support blaming people when a single person they admit under a large program goes on to commit a crime. But by Laura Loomer’s standards, Trump should go.)

Loomer calls for Brown U to lose its federal funding for admitting a foreign student who, at some later date, allegedly committed murder.

States need to push back hard here. ICE is saying Real ID isn't valid because some states extend it to those lawfully present and now a state issued birth certificate is deemed insufficient, in this case Maryland. This is very dangerous.

Yup. Good thing I enjoy the quotidian (real) videos people post of cats purring, a dog and cat cuddling, etc. I hope that those videos, at least, will still be real.
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
