Writer George Penney (who also writes wonderful posts about house-sitting adventures with feline overlords in various countries and is an entertaining follow) just posted this on Mastodon:

"If you like the idea of a romcom centered around a geek bar featuring dnd, goths, furries, munches and drag queens, with a message that's even more relevant now than when I wrote it. My alter-ego Evie Snow has a book--"This Is Not A F*cking Romance"--out today for FREE in all stores (Yay!)"

My central and autonomic nervous systems. Mine are shite and have been since I was wee. Even a clean reinstall of the original operating system would likely help a ton, but if the open source community could go through the files and find the all the bugs, who knows what I could make of my life. At the very least I'd be able to work again.

This is so much of my life ๐Ÿ’”

Ed Long's work on long covid and ME/CFS is crucially important. He explains these things better than I'm literally able to.

Wears your masks everyone. Covid isn't over and every infection is playing Russian roulette on having this for your life. Unless you lived with it or are very close to someone who does, you don't understand what you're risking. It's incomprehensible how debilitating this is. And mind-numbingly tedious and boring.
