@TheWestonMale Once again a ridiculous photograph. Few of us can stroll across pretty frosty fields. Visuals inform perception as much as words and this is damaging to #pwme. I can’t read the article, paywall, but I’m already in despair.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

Well, this got real. I wrote a book and it’s now available to PRE-ORDER. ‘Crippled’ is about Britain’s relationship with disability, the horror of austerity, and why we must fight for the welfare state. I really hope you like it: https://t.co/aVov4b1pgx

I’m just horrified by what happened in #NewZealandTerroristAttack We all have a responsibility to call out racist and hate speech on the internet. Give these fuckers no place to hide

[Brighton & Hove Young Greens @bhyounggreens]

Today's the day! We're once again joining #YouthStrike4Climate today in #Brighton and #Hove.

We must take drastic action on our #ClimateEmergency before it is too late.

Meet at Churchill Square at 11am! We'll have Green Party banners ✊

When the younger generation demand a better fairer world - may be politicians need to start listening otherwise their legacy will be one of failure and betrayal (as guess who will write their history!) so support the #climatestrikes

We have created a technology that normalises, mobilises and glamourises extremism. It can deceive murderous fuckwits into thinking they are heroes. The Mail here are doing exactly what this murderous fuckwit would want.

Must watch! Younger's new study will trace the cells to see why there is inflammation. New SPECT study starting to trace microglia to see what state they are in in fibro and ME/CFS. Drugs exist which can cause the micro to go back to their natural state

Dr Jarred Younger from University of Alabama Birmingham via video: Has found lactate in the brain of #pwME. Shouldn't normally be there. Indicates brain inflammation in #mecfs and supports findings from other studies. #mecfsconference ~ Fiona

[Emerge Australia @EmergeAus]

Dr Jarred Younger: testing a vagus nerve stimulator, a brain coolant and a more effective version of low-dose naltrexone are all high on his to-do list. Phew! #mecfsconference ~ Fiona

The final presentation for this session is by Anthony Clarke, from @Bloxas architects and @anna_j_kerr (pwME): “Empathic design and ME/CFS: a conversation.“ #mecfsconference #mecfs

[Emerge Australia @EmergeAus]

Dr Jarred Younger is putting a tracer into certain peripheral nervous system cells to see if they're crossing the blood-brain barrier. If so, this may indicate a driver of brain inflammation in #pwME. #mecfsconference ~ Fiona

[Emerge Australia @EmergeAus]

Dr Jarred Younger made a video recording for this conference on his newly published very exciting study on neuroinflammation!
Lactate was found distributed throughout the brain, the 5th paper to show this. Now they are asking why and how to reverse it.

Surprised to hear more than once at the @EmergeAus #MEcfsconference that lack of HEALTHY controls is a problem for data analysis. #pwME must have friends who care enough to do this as a way of helping a mate, and there are a lot of #pwME! Scientists, tell us all where to sign up!

Yesterday the Brexit Secretary voted against the motion he’d just spoken in favour of. He took over from a Brexit Secretary who resigned in protest against the Brexit deal he’d just negotiated. This is Political Psychosis.

3. Have you any idea how patronising and condescending this sounds? Children aren't capable of acting in their own right? The young people organising today are the most inspiring, determined group I've ever come across. They should be honoured, not insulted. #YouthStrike4Climate

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

There's a conspiracy theory circulating about the #ClimateStrikes: the children can't possibly be organising and thinking for themselves. Someone must be controlling them. 1. Not one shred of evidence has been adduced to support it. Why? Because there isn't any. Thread/

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

So let those of us who don't fall for these conspiracy theories say this to the young people taking to the streets today: we offer you our thanks, our love and our solidarity.
