HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.
The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

Wearing a mask is pretty much the single most effective action any individual person can take, in regards to disability allyship.
It communicates both active, and visual support.

I'm sharing this bit for folks in my specific situation (F on my passport which is correct, got it changed during the Biden admin):

"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
The intent, for anyone paying attention, is clearly to revoke trans peoples’ passports and then refuse to issue new ones, keeping us captive and on a state extermination list.
