Hi Michael. You've probably already seen, but I just noticed this response has been put out. Seems well-handled, although I've only had a quick glance so far

Researchers Dr. C. Gunnar Gottschalk and Dr. Avik Roy are pictured. Quote from Dr. C. Gunnar Gottschalk reads, "This funding from Solve M.E. will help us continue enrollment in our ongoing expanded phase and cover the cost of study drug and safety labs. Our goal is to develop a predictive test to identify which patients are more likely to benefit from rapamycin or other mTOR-targeted therapies.” At the bottom of the page are logos for Solve M.E. & the ME/CFS Catalyst Awards.

Your support funds bold ME/CFS and Long Covid research. This year, our Catalyst Award helped expand a promising rapamycin trial—and early results are encouraging. Join our $321,000 match & keep the momentum going. 💙 #MovingTheScienceForward

Look at the news even just over the last 3 weeks. The ship has been turned around!

If the government has a referendum BEFORE the next election, it can force parties to write their manifestos based upon the results.

Rejoin can win!

I hate to share this, because it's so painful and I don't want to upset the community even more, but I do want to remember. There needs to be restitution (for those of us still alive to see it). There needs to be accountability. #MEcfs

I always thought it was brave of the Tories to front a mayoral candidate who was the batty neighbour from a 70s sitcom that they can't repeat any more because attitudes have changed.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I’m 15 years old and have a disability. Social media has been a lifeline – why is the government kicking me off? | Ezra Sholl As I come to terms with life as a quadriplegic, Instagram and TikTok are a reminder that I’m not alone The government has decided that from Wednesday I should be banned from social media because of the potential harm it can cause. But as a teenager with a severe disability, who relies on social media for connection, community and access to a largely inaccessible world, this policy actually has the potential to create further harm. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which triggered a rare nerve condition that has paralysed me. My preteen years were spent in an ICU ward, on a ventilator, going through chemotherapy. Before I got sick I did not have any social media. It turned out that all I had to do was end up in a coma, because when I woke, I had a new iPhone14, with every accessibility feature. Having Instagram and Snapchat made me feel less disconnected. I had a window into the outside world, and my friends had a window into my world between hospital visits. Continue reading...

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these…

Our investigation showed that levels of benzene, a cancer-causing gas, were 37x higher than what the facility reported in the past.

The Trump admin has halted efforts to monitor for benzene near large industrial plants like this one, leaving communities in the dark about the air they breathe. (2/2)

Reply from Visable. I'm exhausted, I don't have the energy to write this out right now.

This passage shocked me to my core.

I have also messaged them. I would have thought the visible team understood the trauma we've all been through w biopsychosocial babble bullshit, and the fight that's still to come with that in the UK.

That's like letting the abuser in with a vulnerable population who are trusting Visable to on our side.

#MEcfs what the actual fuck?

What evidence is there that uplands like this were once covered by temperate rainforest, and would return to such a state naturally but for sheep?
