A still showing Muhammad Ali standing over an opponent with a quote: β€œImpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

#LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme scientists and clinicians: This energy! Bring it each day someone tries to force you to follow the status quo, bring it each time someone tries to slow you down just because their insecure ass can't keep up. People are depending on us. Move faster! Show urgency!
