Amazon, Facebook, and Google all have reams of data about you—including your likes and dislikes, health information and social connections—but they’re not the only ones. Countless murky data brokers that you’ve never heard of collect huge quantities of information about you and sell it on. #TechSky

if I had a ton of money for #LongCovid research I’d spend at least some of it on post covid visual snow syndrome. 15% of ppl with vss believe they got it from covid (and around half from a tbi). it’s super under researched.

Also, holy shit, Bluesky sends real traffic. Will update this tomorrow with firm numbers but journalism is going to move here for sure. Twitter is a drop in the bucket. It's over, but we are so back, and so on and so forth

My autistic masks were a prison created by my abusers over my entire life. They were the 'me' I would think of, they were a filter every impulse went through. They told me what I could and couldnt think about. But they were not me.

The biggest barrier of those in the disability community is that which denies them the same quality of life the able-bodieds enjoy. For some reason there is an undercurrent of insistence those whose lives are lived differently should be expected to accept a lower standard of living.

Press release: Immune T cells become exhausted in chronic fatigue syndrome patients www.eurekalert.org/news-release... Longer piece from same university with more quotes: news.cornell.edu/stories/2024... #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfs #CFS #PwME

News Release 3-Dec-2024
Immune T cells become exhausted in chronic fatigue syndrome patients
Peer-Reviewed Publication
Cornell University

ITHACA, N.Y. – Chronic fatigue syndrome creates conditions where pathogen-killing immune T cells become exhausted, according to a new Cornell University study.

The study’s authors knew the immune system was dysregulated in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) but wondered which parts shift with the condition. A systematic exploration revealed that key CD8+ T cells displayed one of the most pronounced signatures of dysregulation, with signs of constant stimulation that lead to an exhausted state, a condition that is well-studied in cancer.

“This is an important finding for ME/CFS because now we can examine the T cells more carefully, and hopefully by looking in the exhausted cells we can start to get hints as to what they are responding to,” said Andrew Grimson, professor of molecular biology and co-corresponding author of the study. Maureen Hanson, professor of molecular biology and genetics, is the other corresponding author.
