A thing a lot of people who generally get that my wife is very sick still don't understand is that "cognitive overexertion, and sensory overload may all trigger PEM." The exertion of post exertional malaise is not just exercise.
It's ME(Jaime)@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · 3d agoVery severe ME may involve loss of ability to communicate, to leave bed, and the ability to digest properly. If you're a medical provider or researcher who thought #MECFS was fatigue, take a look at this article and share it with your colleagues. www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/s002...

There are so many tight races this election and a number of genuinely good candidates and I feel like my congressional district is just being asked to hold the line. #ny12

I think it's gotta be Dumbo. All of it. The way Dumbo is bullied, the abuse of his mother, the way the circus exploits him, and of course the fucking hallucinations.

I want every woman to have the confidence and the ability to put a guy in an armlock if he's being a creepy little shit, even if he is the bride's nephew.
maura quint@mauraquint.bsky.social · 3w agoYes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
There is a dog barking on the street somewhere outside and you will notice I am also not interested in what is upsetting him. He can be upset as he likes. that's a him problem.
I keep thinking about this line from Becoming @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social "If you’ve ever wondered what the right thing is to say to someone who’s grieving a death, I think this is it: Tell me all about your dear one." Because yes, all I want to do is keep thinking about him and telling stories.
Oh this is a really good idea (for the Princess Bride)

If you work for a book publisher that has introduced AI at any point in the publishing process, I'm working on a story and would like you speak with you, on-record or off-. Same goes if you're an author and you've witnessed your publisher using AI at any point in the publishing process.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
Do I know anyone who is very good at forging handwriting? This is for artistic purposes not financial or legal, and I can pay. Because it turns out that while I can do a passable rendition of my mom's signature, I can't do my dad's handwriting AT ALL even with tracing paper.
My sister and I took IQ tests as kids for our school district's gifted and talented program (it was the '80s) and my mom has refused to ever tell us either of our scores (?) and I think that's one of the best parenting choices she's ever made.
