I'm thrilled to announce @SimonSchusterAU has acquired the global rights to my new book about #AIbias.
Huge thanks to @enolan6 @Jacinta_DiMase & @Chrys_Stevenson for your generous support.
The 'bot book' will come out around #IWD2023 😊

I turned 33 today, and have Long Covid.
By 34, I don’t know if I will be healthy or bedridden with crippling fatigue.
Governments don’t want to hear about this and doctors can’t help.
If you think this is unacceptable please RT. If you are in the same situation please like.
Please support if you can. Great initiative @BeingCharisBlog 💖

#LongCovid & #MECFS community: After a crash do you usually go back to your prior “progress”?
Currently on day 5 of a (bad) crash & worried I’ve regressed.
Was used to 2-3 day crashes then recalibrating. Can mental heavy lifting have an impact? (@TraceySpicer)

YES! This Garmin thingy is hugely helpful as a reminder of the toll any exertion - making a meal, talking on the phone, etc. - takes on the body battery.

I think what some people don't understand about disabled people and hygiene is that if it was just as easy for disabled people to shower as abled people with no negative side effects, we would do it all the time.
