I love it when I pay my mortgage and they email me and say the payment has been applied and then 11 DAYS LATER I get an email telling me the cheque was returned. Even though there was money in the account.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

well, now at least we know where Gaiman got that strategy....

I fucking love this! Thank you for supporting our community members who are in immediate danger by ICE in a direct way like this! Please support local vendors impacted by ICE’s terrorizing of our communities! We need each other! 💜Also, tamales make a GREAT meal any time of day!
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
