I’m kinda blown away by all these TikToks of people showing up to Republican reps’ town halls & letting them have it over Musk/Trump/DOGE. It seems grassroots. If it becomes a lasting trend to go to town halls, shout down people who are lying to you, and post it online, we might all survive this.

Right on

@kaufmanmd.bsky.social and I scheduled our next live Q&A session. youtube.com/post/UgkxplE...

Shoutout to all the incredible advocacy work @thereforme.bsky.social is doing in the UK to raise awareness about #ME & #LongCovid!!! Really excellent thoughtful advocacy moving the needle forward towards recognition, real treatments & cures!!! 👏👏👏

Betroffene von #MECFS haben mit der #LemonChallengeMECFS 🍋 eine Initiative ins Leben gerufen, die ins Bewusstsein rufen soll, was sonst oft gar nicht sichtbar ist. Dabei unterstütze ich gern. Denn solche Aktionen erinnern uns daran: Es geht nicht nur um Zahlen oder Diagnosen. Es geht um Menschen.

Kudos to those in Germany involved in the #LemonChallengeMECFS 🍋! Pretty fantastic to see the word spread there about ME and more and more people in power showing support for pwME!!! Keep up the awesome work! 👏👏👏 @katha1970.bsky.social

Medicaid is the main source of funding for aging and disability care, including home and community-based care. Medicaid is critical to the well-being of many in our community. Check out this Protecting Medicaid Toolkit organized by energy levels. docs.google.com/document/d/1... #pwME #Medicaid

If you're wondering why a lot of what's here is stuff I've conveyed, I was interviewed for this episode of SciShow. #MECFS

Good to see a popular educational Youtube channel (SciShow) make a concise video on #MECFS and why exercise makes it worse (8 mins). Also includes a brief section on the PACE trial. youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA?...

People with ME, what meds have helped you most with sleep? I'm not having trouble, it's for something else. What meds for sleep were you offered that really didn't help and/or made sleep worse? If you'd rather DM just ask :)

Some of you are new follows, but may have seen this going super viral, a few years ago, yes this was ME! I wrote this to help one of my former students study for their microbiology final. The rest of my science-themed music is on all major streaming platforms. Search for Raven the Science Maven :)
