This is it, this is the definitive essay on WVU's current situation. It's written by the brilliant, furious, and clear-sighted Myya Helm, recent WVU graduate, first-gen student, Black West Virginian, and now Marshall Scholar.

The student population got smaller and smaller while fancy new buildings appeared.

American Library Association President Emily Drabinski is facing massive attacks. Attempts to silence her because of her political and sexual identity must not be allowed to succeed. See this statement from LAWCHA, and spread the word:

So nice to hear folx are getting hard copies of my book. I don't have any yet, but I'm glad others do!

Anywho, if you're in #NYC and #DC week of August 14th hope to see you at some events. I can guarantee snacks at the Queens event.

I found the PBS segment at end of article really good too. Amazing how patients are being told long covid is in their minds. This happened to me when I had undiagnosed Lyme Disease. I think when drs can't explain something, they blame the patient instead of admitting the limits of their knowledge.
The article is paywalled, but for the moment it's available here: https://encephalogirl.substack.com/p/fatigue-can-shatter-a-person
Apologies for linking to the other place, @edyong209.bsky.social’s thread on his article about ME/CFS (and PEM)—much overlap with Long Covid—is very worth wading through the muck to read. Free for 24 hrs, then paywall. https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/1684549672386576386?s=46
