Reposted by Meghann OrdLaura J Mixon @laurajmg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It's a kind of living death, a fuzzy "lock-in" that no one believes you have. NIH researchers who calculate spending versus disease burden have found it to be grotesquely underfunded. (A study in 2020 found it ranked at the bottom of the charts for the most underfunded major disorders in the US.) 1344
Reposted by Meghann OrdLaura J Mixon @laurajmg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I'm a big believer in finding moments of joy in the now, and I have a lot to be thankful for. But ME/CFS is such a devastating disorder—not just for us sufferers, but also for our caregivers. And without more funding to find biomarkers, official treatments and a cure, our lives are pretty grim. 16413

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Obviously that was the best scene. (How the whole reason it even happened was because the drill sergeant called him out as a gotcha. Because the washout Double Ds were starting to get uppity and forget they were supposed to be worthless. And instead he got got. Benitez! New York NEW YORK) 170
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 11/10/2026@clairewillett.bsky.social posting Private Benitez reciting the St. Crispin’s Day speech in the rain just woke me like a sleeper agent. I used to be OBSESSED with that movie. 3243

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ha! Every once in a while, I’ll look at my TBR and feel guilty and like I need to apologize to the authors. Then I say out loud to myself, “they don’t care! They already got the sale!” 🤣 100

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I’ve never been one for wading into The Discourse(TM), but my chronic illness is the only thing stopping me from a long rant right now. Also, I feel like I’ve returned to my youth. “People are being loudly wrong on tumblr dot com” 010

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m 2/3 done with this book and it’s SUCH a breath of fresh air after the series of DNFs I just struggled through. I’m absolutely gobbling it down. ❤️❤️❤️ 000
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I read book 1 because you were screeching about it on social media, and I adored it. Thank you for the notification that book 2 is available. It has now been ordered. 😂 010
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026*sigh* I’m so familiar with this brain thing. And so tired of it as well. Unfortunately, it seems to be a load-bearing, core part of who I am as a person. Congrats on only losing a few days to it!! 170
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Granted, it didn’t do anything. 😂 But I’m still on a baby dose because I’m apparently a fragile little flower who has to very delicate about increasing. Maybe it will eventually? 010
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026❤️ Bree’s posting about GLP-1s is why I was so excited when my complex disease specialist had me ask my PCP to try putting me on it for my long Covid. 130
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026THIS. And this fear is ironically exacerbated every time I do actually find one. Like, it legitimizes the concern. 010

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I very much enjoyed the part of the trade deadline experience where I was bracing myself with “oh, god. Now we have to meet the terrible, toxic brother.” And then immediately was like, “OHHHH! Okay. It’s just Lars the unreliable narrator. Gotcha. That makes way more sense.” 210

Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 22/08/2026And the thing that’s hardest to bear about it is the endlessness. You have do hard things some times. That’s life. But the way you get through them is to grit your teeth and get to the other side. But what to do when there is no other side? 😫 100
Meghann Ord @litnerd.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I just started a WIP where the chapter count is currently “21/?”. The author note at the start of chapter 6 says, “this was only supposed to be 4 chapters! I swear the next one will be the last.” 😂 Sweet summer child… 001
