I was inspired by my newly renovated public library to resurrect my newsletter with this ode to "third places," college, and community. (Shout-out to the Albina @multcolib.bsky.social and the @carleton.edu library!) mayadusenbery.substack.com/p/an-ode-to-...

Thrilled to find this excellent 5-minute synopsis of my book from @annaakana.bsky.social on TikTok. Sad but not surprised by the 800+ comments from women sharing their own stories of being dismissed and misdiagnosed by health care providers. www.tiktok.com/@annaakana/v...

"As energy-depleting illnesses that disproportionately affect women, long Covid and M.E./C.F.S. are easily belittled by a sexist society that trivializes women’s pain, and a capitalist one that values people according to their productivity." www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/o...
