This by Anita Vandenbeld on what happened at Status of Women last week is very worthwhile reading.
I still think the attempt to pivot to the abortion study motion was crass, but the broader point about abusing committees still stands. https://t.co/RuBBx5IEOI

@francisxwolf If you haven't lived it you can't imagine it. I wasn't "tired", it was like I had been drugged. I took a lot of sick leave (which I was lucky to have paid) before the pain and fatigue were manageable. I'm extremely lucky, many others don't get to that point.

[Mary Ann Oberthier @MAOberthier]

@francisxwolf When I first got rheumatoid arthritis 7 years ago, the fatigue was so crushing. I could only do 1 of the tasks necessary to feed myself -shop, cook, or clean up- but not all 3. I lived on take out, & then a meal service before my disease was under control.

@BlairBraverman @outsidemagazine I love that they gave you four and a half pages in the print edition too!! I picked up my copy on the weekend. Well done!!

@garrettelliott I started with subtitles a long time ago when I was watching a Brit crime show that had really thick Scottish accents. I kept them on afterwards when I realized subtitles made ALL shows much easier to follow.

@DennisWormald I'm lucky with my girl. I just have to drop a pill in with her kibble. She eats it so quickly she never notices any pills. Just gobbles it all up!

@itslaylas If you can get your hands on a product called Skunk Off, it might help. Comes in shampoo and a soaker product. Amazon and local vets should have it. Worked well on my dogs when the got sprayed. Good luck! That is the most vile substance.

[Mary Ann Oberthier @MAOberthier]

@garrettelliott @aprilelliott Love it! I annoy even myself with how often I pause a show/movie to check stats on IMBD. How tall is he? What else was she in? What is their age difference? I was SHOCKED that my sister hadn't even ever heard of IMDB.😮
