This is the loveliest book. Cloth bound with words and drawings that are so healing. An antidote to so much of the horror of the world. 💛

#ME Installation in front of the Ministry of Research, Berlin.
Body bags depicting the unseen, imprisoned lives in the tiniest, darkest spaces in which ME patients live their half lives.
Also a memorial for those that have died from this appallingly neglected illness.

If you’re a newly qualified #GP take some time to study everything you can about #ME (ME/CFS) including new research from @DecodeMEstudy There are very few ME aware Drs in the UK and no consultants at all. It’s a yawning gap that needs filling for over 400,000 patients plus many #LongCovid patients

Alice Oswald, pacifist, mother, poet was arrested today for supporting Palestine Action.
Such courage, as our politicians hide indoors under their meaningless soundbites.

This is a terrorist?
What a shameful day.
A few hundred MPs voted that this would be a good idea.
It wasn’t in the government’s manifesto that they would blindly support Israel whatever they do regardless of human rights or common humanity.
This is the end of Labour.

This has been my lived reality for 32 years in this one room. Severe #ME. No treatment because there has been no serious research funding. The psych/behavioural lobby make sure of this despite ample proof of physiological damage. How many more generations will live in dark rooms alone and ignored?

From Sarah Boothby, Maeve’s mother “please boost on other platforms. We are scrambling for lawyers to get the sister out as the top priority. I am speaking with national print media this morning.”

More from @Bridget_OShea, who died last week, on Substack in 2023. I wish, so much, that those who hamper real research and education about #ME would acknowledge that they are responsible for an ever growing list of deaths from the illness.

Being an #ME patient of all levels of severity is like screaming under water until we drown and still we are not recognised. There are millions of us screaming at huge detriment to our slivers of health. No response…ever.

At 1.0 am the IDF surrounded the Madleen with boats, drones and sprayed them with chemicals. The 12 people aboard were instructed to throw phones into the water and are now off the Madleen and with the IDF. They are all apparently safe. An illegal act carried out by Israel in international waters.

The communications blackout has officially begun, the #Madleen will probably have all channels blocked very soon. So keep sharing, keep caring xx #FreedomFlotilla
