Fandom dabbler and often lurker. Old queer. she/her. Is ME/CFS (thanks covid). UK based. Beyond Evil brainrot, Word of Honor, too many fandoms to count over the years.
I’m properly sick for the first time since my initial illness that triggered MECFS in 2022. I’ve been good at avoiding sick people, crowds & indoor gatherings but saw my niblings earlier in the week & I think that probably did it. Headache, sore throat, muscle aches. Worried about a relapse. #mecfs

Small irritation, but on Viki, they’ve translated a character as ‘Miss’ Shang when she is clearly being addressed as Boss/Owner Shang. She’s worked hard for this business - give her the title! Feels misogynistic. #legendofZangHai

I’m not sure what I did to get onto this sales algorithm, but wow! #jewellery #Gothic

Started #legendofZangHai . Already impressed with the quality and Xiao Zhan hasn’t even shown up yet. kid actors are great and voiced by actual children (bar is low for cdramas in that one).The cinematography is excellent. That first episode goes hard though - what am I letting myself in for?

Finally finished #bloodriver last week. Not to post spoilers but I was surprised both of them made it to the end alive. I was convinced one of them would end up dying for the other.

So grateful to the community that sustains PLRC’s pathbreaking work on Long Covid and related conditions like ME/CFS. Living with an illness that has zero FDA-approved treatments, the first-class research PLRC leads is such a source of hope to me.

Gifts are doubled through the end of the year!

But anyway. It’s #burnoutsyndrome time so at least there’s that.

Having a couple of days where everything just feels too much. I’m very tired and my bullshit tolerance is incredibly low.

I just read my tenth #COVID19 research study in the past month or so that demonstrates COVID infections cause brain changes that may accelerate Alzheimer's disease, are associated with cognitive decline, and cause fatigue, memory impairment, and sleep disorders. (1/?)

Some folks have brought this up in comments, but just saying... maybe we should ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to the multitude of studies showing COVID infections (even "mild" ones) cause brain changes and ongoing cognitive decline. We've been letting our young people get COVID over & over & over again.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Jira’s look of absolute revulsion in that job interview is all of us. Particularly in a creative art space. #BurnoutSyndrome

Anyone watching #ChosenHome on Netflix? Sweet little Japanese age gap gay romcom with found family that also works in conversations about coming out, being closeted, homophobia, marriage equality, adopting as a gay couple, and general life experience as a gay man in Japan etc #ぼくたちん家#BokutachinChi

Graduated with an art degree & no job, flatmate got me some temp work w/ him at national book charity for a while, they ran out of work for me, worked elsewhere for 3y but eventually returned to the book charity and never left! Worked in outreach but being tech capable led me to managing their LMS.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Oh my God, reincarnated lesbians! The way I shouted when I saw she was reading ‘the well of loneliness’. Nice surprise. #khemjira

Getting stuck into Khemjira now it’s finished airing. God I love a BL with an actual plot. Loving the horror vibes. Feels very uniquely Thai. #khemjira #BL

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.

Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

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

Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint - Medical Republic
A massive global study links the chronic pain condition to 26 genes associated with brain signalling, marking a turning point in understanding its biological roots.

I’ve finally reading The Husky and His White Cat Shizun now it’s available on London Libraries Libby. Now I just need a nice librarian to add volume 8, 9, 10 & 11, when it comes out. Great read - very hard to put down. And now I finally understand why people kept referring to Chu Wanning as a tree.

Omg, so excited about the new Anucha Boonyawatana (director of Not Me) drama, Burnout Syndrome! Haven’t watched many BL recently but when I do I like them dark. youtu.be/iqtE21HQ-KU

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
