I don’t run a wet lab. I don’t study pathogens.
I study reality.

And in an airborne plague, reality says:
Clean the air. Wear the respirator.
Protect each other.

Because pretending it’s over is what’s truly unethical.

Pippa Durham, 28, was attending a comedy night when the comedian on stage asked if she’d travelled far to be there. Eyewitnesses reported Durham responding: “I guess it depends on how far back you go,” before beginning with the industrial revolution.

There’s an update on the GFM, for anyone following along: gofund.me/c5633e48

Tomorrow’s biopsies are cancelled, & unexpected medical bills of $1,250 have cropped up.

But check out this spectacular Darwin sunset from last night! ❤️

3 days left on this petition - Stop partner income tests on Australian welfare payments.

If I was to move in with a partner, I’d lose what meagre independence I have: a partner earning $1,516.40 per fortnight cancels payment. Forced dependence. 🤬 Please sign & share.

Leaving the supermarket, a man leaned into my face and said, “it’s not 2020 - you don’t have to wear the mask.”

I said, “you don’t have to be a fuckwit either, but look at you go!” 🙄🙄🙄

People have reasons to be cautious. Leave them be.

Who’s into Vikings? The University of Oslo is doing a survey to gauge what the public thinks of the Vikings.

Maybe people think of them more often than the Roman Empire? 🤷‍♀️

My neurosurgeon just cancelled my appointment, last minute - but it’s a good thing. He has swapped out a shift tomorrow to spend 5hrs solid on my files, & will call me on Friday. He was very apologetic for not having done it yet.

Maybe this is the turning point?

Today’s the 7th anniversary of the accident that slowly disabled me with a treatable condition.

I’m tempted to give up, because the fight for treatment is unsustainable. What would you do?

Like many, I first saw medically assisted death as a way for someone at the natural end of their life to choose a painless end to their suffering.

Instead:
"the most prevalent reasons offered by someone requesting assisted suicide are directly related to unmet service and support needs"
CN: suicidal ideations, mentions of medical abuse and neglect

Massive thanks to all who kept me going this year. I couldn’t keep up the fight without your support.

May we all be as happy as a dog on a beach in 2025!

A must read for #clinicians and #researchers.

Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane.
