Godmorgon! Hur ser din kaffe- eller temugg ut?

Was reminded of an obsession from a few years ago. Had over 30 kinds of Coleus at home. They're beautiful. But when the interest faded I got tired of the vermin they always attracted.

Picture of my favourite kind. Isn't it pretty!

Please share pics of any beautiful plants you have!

Coleus plant "Dreams Onegin". Sun lit leaves with mixed colours; red, yellow, green and brown-purple(?).

Notes from a sickbed
by Tessa Brunton @tessabrunton.bsky.social

The main character is often resting surrounded by cats and a vivid imagination, with an undiagnosed illness later identified as ME/CFS.

I appreciate the realness, dark humor, and the power of having creativity keeping you company.
Book cover. Drawing of person in a bed frowning. Lots of detail around the bed. Through the window you can see people walking down the street. Text: Notes from a sickbed. Tessa Brunton.

Finally got around to reading Paula Knight's graphic novel The Facts of Life (2017).

It is beautiful and down to earth, at the same time as tackling big questions of love and family.

The main character has ME/CFS.

Proposed mechanisms underlying ME/CFS. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) presents as a range of symptoms that affect multiple organ systems. Enteric dysbiosis, neurological and immune dysfunction, as well as impaired mitochondrial function are implicated in the pathomechanism of ME/CFS. These symptoms also occur in Long Covid, although with differing prevalence. Drawing of human, symptoms listed: Cognitive impairments Sore throat Respiratory difficulties Cardiovascular disturbance Nephrotic disorders Neuropathy Tender or swollen lymph nodes Metabolic dysfunction Irritable bowel disease–like syndrome Joint pain Muscle pain Four drawings in squares with texts: 1 Volumetric changes and reduced cerebral blood flow 2 Gastrointestinal dysbiosis and inflammation 3 Altered metabolism and mitochondrial structure; mutated mitochondrial DNA 4 Impaired natural killer cell cytotoxicty and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel function Graphic: N.
