In Pursuit of Understanding the Crash What Post-Exertional Physiology Tells Us About ME/CFS

"Simply put, the bodies of people with ME/CFS can not efficiently do the work of recovery. And because these abnormalities are found in pwME but not matched deconditioned controls, we can confidently say that PEM is not deconditioning." likeannopeningbandforthesun.substack.com/p/in-pursuit...

A black-and-white photograph of Niko, a man sitting in a wheelchair, taking a selfie through a distant mirror. He has raised his camera to his eye level. The room is a bedroom, and it has multiple personal belongings hanging on the walls or scattered on stools and a sideboard. Artworks hang from the wall, and a tall bookshelf is in the corner of the room.

I like writing captions for my photographs, but lately my mind has been way too clogged for it. I have managed to take a few images I’d like to share, but I also want to write texts for them as they feel like important topics. 1/5

It’s a great colour. I visited an older colleague and her living room was a sea of vintage, pristine seafoam green. I’m fond of a sort of “art deco” green that so many vases, other ceramics and dog figures of the period & later were produced in. I even have a majestic chicken teapot that colour❤️

Photo of a narrow miniature grisaille painting of someone in monks robes standing on a set of stone stairs in an old pine forest.

A little painting from my series of Ornamental Hermits. Had completely forgotten making this until spotting it in my camera roll this morning.

Painting of a misty forest landscape, a tall drystone wall runs across the picture with a young person in a bark blue dress standing in the squeeze stile peering at a raven perched on top of the wall. The raven holds a gold pocket watch in its beak.

Another crash day so here’s another old painting. Memory Thief at the Squeeze Stile, acrylic, 20x25 cm.

Rocket Rat!

Painting of a rat in a spacesuit floating suit standing on a red planet’s surface. It is holding a device in one paw, possibly a sensor or a remote control.

After all, we’ve taken them everywhere else with us…

Miniature painting of a paper airplane soaring through space past a moon

Fragile.
A miniature painting from about a decade ago. (Nearly life size if you’re looking at it on a phone screen)

😂❤️

Painting of a person in a brown protective suit with a metal helmet. The helmet has a lightning rod on top, and is connected to an air supply filter on the person’s back and to a sensor with warning lights slung on a shoulder strap. The person is standing in a featureless brown landscape with a yellowish grey atmosphere.

From my Universal Anxiety Protection Suit series.

Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting an exchange between Rep. Steve Cohen and Kash Patel about fired Iran experts, with Cohen pressing Patel on their qualifications. The image shows Patel testifying at a congressional hearing, seated at a table with a microphone and nameplate.

He was too busy partying to bother to learn who he'd fired.

Tweet by Acyn quoting Robert De Niro criticizing war, rising prices, deportations, and government violence, saying Americans did not vote for these outcomes. The image shows De Niro speaking in a studio interview setting.

De Niro has it right. The American people can agree on some things after all.

Tweet by Tommy Vietor reacting to a report that Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup before it received a large U.S. government loan, dramatically increasing its value.

We need the sarcasm so we don't go insane.

A shelter for Bee hotels comprised of recycled wood, a recycled plastic box lid and bamboo fencing attached to the side of our old shed. There are several different Bee hotels under it and a small 3 drawer unit made from bamboo.

Here's my Bee shelter bodgings 🙂
Hopefully this'll keep the tubes a bit drier.
I'm using the little bamboo drawer unit at the bottom as a release chamber and it's got last year's filled tubes in it.
Being bamboo, hopefully it'll cope with any summer rain.
Just need some Bees now 🐝
