Article on Long Covid that connects it to ME/CFS:

"The condition that’s been most closely linked to long Covid is ME/CFS [...] a post-viral neurological condition, primarily characterised by chronic, debilitating fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM) – where symptoms worsen after even minor physical or mental exertion. An estimated 75 to 80% of people with ME are women, and the condition has long been under-researched, stigmatised, and poorly understood."

In case anyone was somehow unaware, I'm very much a 'not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you' kind of queer

@compostablespork @rabbithearth @packbat we have moist shade aplenty! I think rabbit has the right of it when they say they've learned I prefer the seeds hahaha

re: non vegan re: food Q 

@rabbithearth @compostablespork @packbat I've had much more luck growing coriander than cilantro, which is to say, my plants always seem to go to seed before they're big enough to properly harvest greens from

re: non vegan re: food Q 

@rabbithearth @compostablespork @packbat yep, seeds and leaves! As per wikipedia:

«Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. It is also known as Chinese parsley, dhania or cilantro All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds (as a spice) are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.»

re: non vegan re: food Q 

@compostablespork @rabbithearth @packbat 😆

Yeah I’d put all the peppers together, as well as the different parts of the same plant stuff (coriander & cilantro, nutmeg & mace, etc)

re: non vegan re: food Q 

@rabbithearth @compostablespork @packbat i do think ones spice drawer should count tho--a little cayenne might not be doing much nutritionally but it can make something completely inedible to someone with the wrong condition

re: non vegan re: food Q 

@rabbithearth @compostablespork @packbat I'm trying to come up with a (chronic illness treatment) diet that makes a distinction between fresh brassicas and coming up completely blank, so I'll have to concur

re: food Q 

@compostablespork also, how are we counting salt here?

re: food Q 

@compostablespork an extremely conservative list (aka, i grouped similar things into single bullet points, I only put down stuff I ate often enough to think of immediately, & I didn't go look at the ingredients lists for the prepackaged foods in the house) puts me easily in the forties.

As my diet is heavily based on my sisters food restrictions -- I learned to cook just was she was switching on to it & never really fell out of the habit -- I would predict pretty much every time I eat out I manage to hit at least three things not included on my current list. For her at least, adapting her diet at home was *much* easier than managing to find food other people had made that she could eat

I think dreamwidth is having some sort of intermittent server issues?

@hafnia@weirder.earth i’ve also gone almost entirely vegetarian recently, mostly as a byproduct of the move

@ljwrites @hafnia@weirder.earth @nomad @rabbithearth you can choose whether or not you want to keep the nips when getting top surgery! So that’s always been my personal theory

@Lady thats because you arent in the right discords

I don’t use it on fedi
