Something I think people really don't understand about ME/CFS vs other fatigue illnesses is how the fatigue symptoms can be delayed for us, and how they accrete, like katamari damarcy.
We do feel exhaustion upon exertion, often much faster or with less effort than others expect. This is true!

This thread is so crucial for anyone dealing with ME/CFS or anyone who thinks they might have it.
Also so helpful for anyone who loves someone dealing with ME/CFS.

The plan to end vaccines is to say that every study requires an inordinate number of patients and resources to carry out before the current FDA will review it.
When companies decide it is too expensive to make any new vaccines, they will stop making new vaccines.

RFK Jr. has said he does not want to take vaccines away from Americans. But at a closed-door meeting of vaccine scientists in September, a top official at the FDA suggested doing just that. Here's how Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Høeg are reshaping vaccine regulation:

OH MY GOD EVERYONE STOP CITING THAT IT’S NOT AN MIT STUDY IT’S AN INDUSTRY FUNDED WHITEPAPER TO SELL AGENTIC AI
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.
