There is no cloud. There are only data storage and processing centers where formerly there was wildlife. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Ladies, the average age of onset for ME/CFS is 33. There are no FDA-approved treatments, let alone a cure.
Ladies I need y’all to understand 27-35 will be some of the hottest years of your life if you think 23 is prime as far as looks you have been lied to!
I’ve started bringing my seat-stick out with me more, as a way *to put up my feet*. I can feel self-conscious about putting my feet up on another chair. With my orthostatic intolerance as part of my ME, my body doesn’t like having my feet on the floor for long. #PwME #MEcfs
A reminder: framing homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes—skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports—and to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.
Heavy metal blood panels will check for acute poisoning Urine testing can check for acutely detoxing metals (as many can be excreted via the kidneys) HTMA (hair tissue mineral assay) can check the long-term status of heavy metals and minerals, if viewed over time (like spaced…
If you wanna know something else super dumb, my GI tract is now acting absolutely normal. As if the last 3 years didn't happen at all.
Honour Ozzy Osbourne by taking my poll on potential heavy metal exposure 👇 Last day to participate!

The Old Fitz Theatre in Sydney’s Woolloomooloo is in the basement of the 150 year old Ild Fitzroy Hotel. The theatre can only seat 55 people, so book early. I’m here particularly early, no one at the stage door.
Having recently adopted a (rescue) dwarf Russian hamster - the latest member of my animal family - I have become increasingly respectful of the ingenuity and pluckiness of the world's very small mammals. The tiniest Australian marsupial, the "noolbenger", feeds entirely on…
A Trader Joe’s employee once told me they can’t really do anything but whenever one of those dogs barks she liked to rush over and asks if they need her to call 911 because their service dog is alerting, and I think that’s a very funny way to make these people feel bad.
what really grinds my gears are dogs in grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. it's disgusting. everyone knows it's not allowed, but there's complete impunity, with staff either not wanting the hassle of enforcing the posted rules or even giving the dogs treats
Most answers are educated guesses, really. Which is fine till you find out pretty much no one (including you) is as well-educated as you thought.
So, in your apartment or hotel, we saw below how its heated facade, or front, could drive your downstairs neighbor cough into your lungs. Let's step inside your living room now, and step forward in time to winter. What happens if your sick neighbor is seated in that living /1
Do you live in an apartment or stay in hotels? Got a "oops, outside air can get you" study. Coming out of Beijing University of Technology - taking airborne transmission seriously. They rented 50 rooms of a building. Did some very cool CFD work - then, be still my heart,
Maeve Boothby-O'Neill's death would make a good case study for medical ethics. Doctors starved her to death out of concern regarding the risks of tube feeding. Unfortunately they failed to consider the risks of withholding vital nutrition. codastory.com/stayonthestory…
took me forever to realize i could walk away, that i don’t have to tolerate it just because they refuse to do better. they say “how could you do this to me?” but if you turn the question around on them, “how could you treat me that way in the first place?” suddenly it’s quiet.
