This is beautiful. Let me try to describe it for alt text: Watercolor painting of two hands knitting, colored in blues and greens like Earth’s land and oceans. Simple black knitting needles. The stitches are tiny, colorful people shaped like Xs, arms and legs outstretched, holding onto each other.
This drawing is by Anja Rozen, a 13-year-old primary school student in Slovenia.

She was chosen from 600,000 children around the world to create a piece of art to show what peace looks like.

@Katybrc.bsky.social you have replies turned off (so may not see this) but I can answer your question: me. At the highest level.
There are dangerous mistakes & assumptions in the Royal Devon & Exeter's #ME guide
1 which stands out, in the jug metaphor they claim 'laughter & having fun' & 'enjoyable activities' improve 'energy supply'
Who will be calling them out on this?

One of the few posts I have seen where disease progression is acknowledged. This is one of the missing links for NHS and every ME organisation that got lost in a nationally funded service for CFS that never assessed for PEM.
My heart is heavy today. #Judith's death after years of tremendous suffering. #Mila and countless others who have been lying in the dark for years. At least 40 million #MECFS sufferers without medical help. With such a thin line between going from mild to moderate to severe to very severe.

🔥Wow!
A first for Royal Devon Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Clinic.
They’ve shared the very much needed reference information on ME that every UK Hospital Trust should aspire to. This is the closest to a care pathway as has ever existed in the UK

I want to say a big thank you to them 🙏
