Been having a hella-hard time trying to find this strip. Like, for 2 yrs Dunno if the difficulty has been a brain fog thing, or a FUBAR-google thing. Or due to the artist (Kornelia Paulsen) deleting her insta (prbly all of the above) Anyone know if Kornelia is doing okay? #ME/CFS #MECFS #LongCovid

2x3 comic panel layout, illustrating the increasing isolation/estrangement experienced by ME/CFS sufferers throughout the disease's progression (from pre ME/CFS onset, through the mild, Moderate, Severe, and Very Severe stages).

Panel 1: (title text) M.E. (subtitle) HOW IT CAN SHRINK ONE’S LIFE BITS BY BITS

Panel 2: “BEFORE M.E.” illustration of buildings and objects in a row (depicted in a simple cartoon style elevation, or front-on, view); essentially representing various activities and places of a full, social, active, and purpose-filled/productive life. In other words; a high quality of life (depictions include buildings titled “WORK”, “CAFE”, “TRAVEL”, “GYM”, a residential house, among others).

Panel 3: “MILD M.E.” only the WORK building and residential house remain standing on a plateau, with the rest of the world (depicted in the previous panel) crumbled away (with the letters P, E, and M drawn upon the debris below; PEM i.e. Post-Exertional Malaise).

Panel 4: “MODERATE M.E.” only the house (with a single wilting flower) remains on an increasingly shrinking plateau, high above the PEM rubble.

Panel 5: “SEVERE M.E.” only a bed with the bedbound ME sufferer remains, completely isolated and alone atop the remains of the plateau, teetering far above the ruins. The plateau's base now a precariously tall, vanishingly thin spindle.

Panel 6: “VERY SEVERE M.E.” inked completely black; a void depicting nothing.

Yesterday’s ep of Dark Matter (S2E5 “Love and Be Loved”) broke me Just hits different, surviving (barely, at this point) 5 or 6 years of severe stage ME/CFS; Jason 24’s field note, “I’ve lost everything… Please just let me find a world where I can love and be loved.”

Screenshot of Jason 24’s handwritten wish in his field notebook (after panning down past the first sentence), “I have lost everything. The love of my life. My son. My home. Please just let me find a world where I
can love and be loved. ,” from the POV of Maria as she discovered it in the final scene of the episode.

Just a general PSA for the ME & Long Covid community The account calling itself "ME/CFS research” @cfsresearch is little more than a troll; just another Dunning-Kruger armchair contrarian masquerading as a subject matter expert

Now that Colbert is gone, I no longer have any reason to pull up YouTube on the regular But here I am, going down this absolutely bonkers Bricks & Minifigs rabbit hole over there Tracks that the Keystone Cops of American Fork inexplicably emerge as the main character in this clusterfck of crooks

"There's an effective treatment but the Powers That Be are keeping it from you" is the age-old argument of cranks and grifters. Embarrassing for Wired to run this.

Horseshit BrAiN rEtRaiNiNg doesn't affect autonomic/autoimmune physiological diseases (which is what ME/CFS aka LC is) Imagine publishing something so egregiously anti-science, that you end up "reporting" pop-psych quackery as the cure for bladder cancer; iF oNlY yOu WeRe AlLoWeD tO TaLk AbOuT iT

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Watching the procedural 1 hr “debate” via CSPAN Taking place in the dead of the night. The ratfucking hour It took more than I had in the tank yesterday, in terms of ME/CFS limitations, to call my Rep and urge them to oppose Medicaid cuts/ratfuckery, and to vote against all of this

Just kinda hits different when you’re a registered card-carrying Republican (it’s a Utah thing, don’t ask)

2024 general election ballot; voted Harris/Walz and marked Dem party-line all the way down-ballot

Everyone stop calling LLMs and generative theft algorithms “A.I.” challenge It’s not artificial intelligence. Never will be. It’s just the same enshitification of everything before, with useless gimmicks Crypto, blockchain, NFTS; embarrassing AF. This hype sham cycle is impossibly cringier

I go to Park City for like two weeks, and within 36 hours I see my first Banksy AND Cybertruck Both worse than I imagined, and the bar on those expectations was not high. I hate it here
