Renting is hell but maybe persistence for survival will be worth it someday.

🧵 1/ 🚨 Congress slashed $859 MILLION from a key research program that includes funding for ME/CFS and other critical health conditions.
We need your help to restore it. #MECFS #CDMRP #HR3906

A square graphic with blue and green abstract shapes in the corners and an alarm emoji at the top of the page reads "Medical Research Funding Slashed 57%. Congress cut $859 million from CDMRP in FY25--putting ME/CFS research at serious risk. H.R. 3906 would restore funding. Tell Congress: COSPONSOR NOW." At the bottom of the graphic are a multicolored image of the U.S. Capitol Building and Solve's orange and green double helix logo.

Pieces of M.E. is a raw account of life with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Through journal entries, poetry, and reflections, it explores disability, medical neglect, homelessness, and the search for stability, giving voice to millions missing.

Day 22

Lurlene McDaniel has probably made more teens cry than their s*tyy boyfriends. I would sob hysterically while reading her books as a teenager.

Day 21

I read this with my mother every night before bed after seeing the movie in theaters. It was really special to me as a kid.
