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.

The federal blitz moved to Charlotte, but the trauma and damage in Chicago are still with us—and DHS says 1,000 agents will hit our streets in March. I wrote about what this moment demands of us: care, clarity, and preparation.
What Now, Chicago? Regrouping After Midway Blitz
Let’s make this a winter of fortification, of learning, and bonding together like the winter snow that federal agents are so afraid of.

Here are some thoughts on why even armed people do not survive encounters sometimes with people who come to kill them.
And this is from someone who watches a metric fuckton of true crime, reads criminal cases, blah blah blah.
So here's OPINION, primarily based on survivor stories. A survivor

100% And the Epstein scandal at its heart is about elite impunity and rich people literally screwing ordinary Americans with no consequences. There is a direct through line between this and oligarchs and elites stripping gov't for parts, making life unaffordable, cutting health care, etc.
Hey here’s an idea! We can talk about Epstein AND affordability! There are a bunch of advisors who lived in a pre internet era who think you can land only one message at a time
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

One thing that's abundantly clear: passing the SAFE Research Act would permanently end the United States' ability to be competitive in any area of advanced technology. Just straight up suicidal policy-making.
This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

People employ absurd, grotesque victim-blaming logic that even they don’t really believe as part of a global gaslighting effort to make victims blame themselves first and foremost and not even seek accountability or expose these crimes in the first place. And it works like a charm

The plan to end vaccines is to say that every study requires an inordinate number of patients and resources to carry out before the current FDA will review it.
When companies decide it is too expensive to make any new vaccines, they will stop making new vaccines.

RFK Jr. has said he does not want to take vaccines away from Americans. But at a closed-door meeting of vaccine scientists in September, a top official at the FDA suggested doing just that. Here's how Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Høeg are reshaping vaccine regulation:

OH MY GOD EVERYONE STOP CITING THAT IT’S NOT AN MIT STUDY IT’S AN INDUSTRY FUNDED WHITEPAPER TO SELL AGENTIC AI
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3
