Ages ago, a guy at the Renaissance festival tried to freak me out by waving a string of animal vertebrae at me. I said, "oh, cool!!" and proceeded to tell him which number vertebrae each was. Never try to freak out an archaeology field assistant using bones.

On this day in 1830, Belva Lockwood was born. She became a pioneering attorney and 1884 presidential candidate. In 1894, she challenged Virginia’s refusal to admit her to the state bar. She lost, even though VA’s statute explicitly authorized admission to “any person” admitted elsewhere. #WeTheMen

Researchers reviewed 105 Long COVID and ME/CFS clinical trials and found major gaps in how treatment success is measured. Only 18% of Long COVID trials assessed post-exertional malaise (PEM). Many relied on fatigue scores that miss disability & crashes. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

The bad: measles cases in the U.S. are more than double what they were last year, with 96% of cases being unvaccinated. The good: Pennsylvania has so far administered 14,000 more vaccines this year than last. The dream: The anti-vax movement is deservedly shunned and everyone gets vaccinated.

1) There's a new critical review of patient-reported outcome measures in ME/CFS and Long Covid. The paper argues that trials often fail to include important symptom domains such as post-exertional malaise, dysautonomia and mast cell activation symptoms.

Awesome letter from @longcovidadvoc.com to UK PM Andy Burnham, pleading him to take real action for ME/CFS and LongCOVID. A small step in the right direction is being requested. This would be real hope, not the false hope of 2010s rehabilitation clinics. www.longcovidadvoc.com/post/dobbin-...
