I had to check with my editor to make sure I was reading it right, but it seems Fatigue is indeed #1 nonfiction on Amazon (in the Kindle Singles). Apart from alphabetical order, I've never been in first place for writing, so gonna enjoy this while it lasts!

Sometimes my favorite part of cover reveal day is the pun 😂

Turnip the volume—it's time for our Issue 26 cover announcement!

Over half of our fall issue will showcase a portfolio of writing and art from the farmworker community: the stories, essays, poems, and artwork of immigrant agricultural workers, co-edited by @TrustMiguel.

@KenanOrhan93 Would you suggest wall mounting it? And how tall are the shelves (ie what size things fit inside)? And how wide/deep? Sorry so many questions, just interested! :)

[Jennifer Acker @jen_acker]

This piece is a gift. Really conveys what fatigue/PEM is like and the challenge we face in improving people’s lives.

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized.

(This piece also covers PEM.) 1/
