I quit X, as it became such a force for negativity and Elon was rubbing the election result in everyone's faces.
I haven't really embraced Substack, due in large part to the Nazi thing, but I'm half tempted - I don't know how bad Substack are (and whether they're 'just' free speech absolutists).

waxing rabbit moon —
transgressing the thin border
between night and dream
takes just this one little leap
go, child, have courage
and jump

My #MyLiftToTheSky this week goes out to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk itself.

You've been an inspiration to me as a writer, enabling me to accept the grit within my work. I have explored more facets of myself as a person thru #poemsabout than I could’ve possibly imagined.

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

Science X / Phys.org @sciencex.bsky.social · 6d

A new blood test demonstrates 96% accuracy in diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, offering a potential advance in reliable identification and management of the condition.

Novel blood test for chronic fatigue achieves 96% accuracy

this goal had to go up because Chuffed made a massive error and refunded more than £400 which was a huge chunk of this week's goal 😓 now we're really behind

…and we keep going, because this is our duty and our promise. We formed this giving circle with seven friends to ensure dependable, weekly support—for survival needs. As those needs become daily, we escalate.

24 hours left ⚠️ Food, tents, blankets, medicine, ASAP. 0/500: chuffed.org/project/hope...

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.
