Long COVID’s heterogenous nature means vast variations in symptoms and severity that may also make it more difficult to study and design good treatment trials. How do you separate strong studies from weak ones, and spot the bunk? Read more from @spichaksimon.bsky.social: bit.ly/4fxNWli

Reminded via Lord Hurk's Instagram that yesterday marked six years since the passing of Tobias Tak. I only met Tobias a couple of times I think (certainly once at Gosh) but when I first shifted to small press coverage his hypnotic work seemed an anthology fixture. www.lambiek.net/artists/t/ta...
Tobias Tak

It’s really hard to keep interacting so I have an online presence & people don’t forget I’m still (sorta) alive. Gotta crowdfund & I don’t have the energy on a team of 1. Got a laundry list of #ChronicIllness diagnoses. #SevereME on its own is enough. Yeah. I’m exhausted. I just want to escape. 🥺
🧵A Covid thread - but a good news one! I’m barely writing about Covid anymore because there is barely any Covid to write about. I thought it was worth celebrating this in this thread. 1/7
I Know Where I'm Going! (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, 1945). Film image from thecinemaarchives.com.
John Craxton (British, 1922-2009), Taverna by the sea, Poros, 1953. Pencil, watercolour and gouache, 60.5 x 48 cm.
Rejected for military service late in 1941, soon after his 19th birthday, John Craxton turned to the drawing and painting of poets and shepherds sheltering from a world of turmoil. 'Sheltering Shepherd,' would be repeated for Geoffrey Grigson's 'The Poet's Eye,' for 1944.
👇 If you can, please help. I need people to help the most, even just a retweet helps to keep me visible. I need to escape ASAP. bsky.app/profile/halc...

“The injustice of it, I couldn’t believe it.” Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social talking about the #MECFS “scandal” where patients were told they were deconditioned and needed Graded Exercise and CBT. It is the “opposite of what they needed” and that legacy still runs “super deep”.
