This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

Science X / Phys.org @sciencex.bsky.social · 3d

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Thinking of calling him Midas

Sketches of a dnd character, the first is a full body outfit design, the character is wearing a blue hood and a wicker goat head covering his face, the outfit is blue/orange and white with red ribbons, his outfit was inspired by medieval beekeepers/knights and the midsummer festival. There is also a bust sketch of him without his mask, he has long blonde hair thats tucked into his hood and dark heavy eyes. There are two sketches, one a little chibby of him surrounded by bees saying “aw yeah, bees” and another of him standing with a spear.
