Sad to hear of the death of Dame Esther Rantzen yesterday. After writing about her daughter’s ME in the 90s, she received 4,000 letters from distressed patients and their families. She described treatment resembling methods “used in mediaeval days to punish witches”.

From the archive Long COVID Is Being Erased — Again By Ed Yong in The Atlantic 21 April, 2023 “LC is a huge impediment to the normalization of COVID. It’s an insistent indicator the pandemic is not actually over; that policies allowing the coronavirus to spread freely still carry a cost”

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

This person went on GBNews to attack Labour & call for tax cuts but it turns out her parents took out £2.5 million from the business and that is the cause of her problems. But of course, the BBC simply takes her claims at face value because it suits a certain narrative. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

Yes, there are technical, formal legal reasons why terrorism law is applied to protesters carrying placards, but not to political activists slashing boats. But stepping back, there is something wrong with a legal regime which criminalises one more than the other. A triumph of form over function.

Thanks so much everyone for a massive response. I've now had as many emails as I can cope with, so no more please - thank you. They paint a really grim and heatbreaking picture. The neglect and abuse of patients goes on and on. I hope to try to do the issue justice. #ME/CFS

Just chiming in that while I’m not aware of GET being explicitly prescribed for ME in the US, it effectively still is because almost no doctors will diagnose ME/CFS, & the default advice remains “keep up the exercise & healthy eating & check back in 6 months.”

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."
