W/Covid raising the risk of anyone developing this disease, everyone really deserves to know what it looks like.

Frustrating that public health isn’t doing the work to inform you, but you might enjoy this doc more anyway—a love story as well as medical mystery, dir. by one of my Harvard colleagues.

ME/CFS is debilitating enuf to tend to disappear those affected from public life, so many people have no idea what it looks like.

If you’re curious, this Sundance-premiered, Oscar-shortlisted doc streams free on YouTube and does a remarkable job making visible an illness usually obscured from view.

After 20 years, I rly cannot recommend having an untreatable neuro disease lol.

Covid’s now the leading cause w/1 in 60 Covid cases triggering ME/CFS. It’s worth avoiding and even masking just where it’s easy—on the subway, in the grocery store—reduces your risk of getting or giving it to someone.

Also I think worth considering whether one form is harder to write than another, and giving yourself a break accordingly. To me report-writing has a preset structure that relieves a lot of the cognitive burden; a new project prob requires you to generate the shape it takes and that’s more taxing!

When that happens to me, I find it helps a lot to envision writing an email to a friend, to the point of literally opening an email window and typing there if needed. Telling someone else about it sometimes comes a lot more easily to me than Writing About It for whatever reason.

The CFPB costs the taxpayer nothing while putting $21 billion back in people’s pockets. So grateful to the CFPB Union @nteu335.bsky.social for its fight to keep the CFPB working for the American people.

Thank you so much for doing this!!

Neither landing page nor the emailed acknowledgment mentioned the amount but it was $25, hope that’s ok!
