Next cutie from the Spoopy Cupcakes pattern by @straightuphandmade (Insta) is this smaller one. Same pattern, same yarn, just a 3.5 needle instead of 4.5
It feels more firm and sturdy but took longer to crochet but I think he looks more cute 😍

Advocacy groups have suspended ties with U.K. charity The ME Association over chairman Neil Riley's op-ed that called for people with ME to increase their movement, counter to research and people’s lived experiences. More than 1k people have signed a letter calling for its retraction. bit.ly/3V7Z7YI

Anyone concerned about the recent ME Association article can add their name to this excellent letter by @alexisme.bsky.social. #pwME #MECFS
After an article by the chairman of the ME Association I’ve drafted a letter. You can add your name to the bottom or DM me l'll add it. I've written it from patients but if you're a carer, ally or health professional, just note after your name eg (Carer for pwME etc)

I saw a patient last week with ME who in 2023 was told by the MECFS service to ‘get back to the gym’. She did 20 minutes, collapsed and hasn’t walked since. The advice is still out there, still wrong and the harm is real.
Cochrane is stubbornly refusing to withdraw the 2019 review recommending exercise therapy for ME/CFS despite being supplied with ample evidence that it doesn't work and causes harm for #pwME with post exertional malaise.
