"Abuse is designed to confuse you. They alternate warmth with cruelty until you can't tell the difference between love and control. You're constantly adjusting yourself to keep the peace they keep breaking. Abuse isn't an accident, it's a strategy. And it works because you tried to fix what they intentionally destroyed."

She Didn’t Cause the Violence. So Why Is She Still Paying For It?
I have been thinking about this question a lot lately. When a woman has domestic violence perpetrated against her, she did not choose it and she did not cause it.

Edinburgh Study Links ME/CFS to “Blood-Based Biomarkers” By David Tuller @davetuller1.bsky.social virology.ws/2025/06/21/t... #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfs #CFS #PwME
Trial By Error: Edinburgh Study Links ME/CFS to “Blood-Based Biomarkers”
2 Comments / By David Tuller / 21 June 2025
By David Tuller, DrPH

Last fall, a team from the University of Edinburgh released a pre-print called “Replicated blood-based biomarkers for myalgic encephalomyelitis not explicable by inactivity.” At the time, I posted an interview with the lead investigator, Chris Ponting, a professor of genetics at the university.

The peer-reviewed version of the study has just been published by the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine. According to a press release from the University of Edinburgh, “The largest ever biological study of ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) has identified consistent blood differences associated with chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and liver disease.” The work involved collaboration between the university’s Institute of Genetics and Cancer and the Schools of Mathematics and Informatics.
