This just arrived! Isn’t it glorious! I've never taken so long to research and write a book, so now I can’t wait to share these stories, and Elise Carmichael’s amazing illustrations, with you all! (I don’t have to wait long: it’s published on 16 Oct!) #CelticFolkAndFairyTales

@Rose_Mary_X @bhanlon15 I completely agree, for those who can make it out of the house. But for many of us, simply having the energy to make phone calls or participate in online chats without developing Post Extertional Malaise would be a significant step forward.

Odd clash of ‘days’ today: Mother’s Day plus #LongCovidAwarenessDay. Reflecting on how 6 years of #longcovid has devasted my capacity to be a mother, daughter, wife, sister, cousin, friend, neighbour, member of community… Roll on research & treatment, so we can all join in again

This is very similar my process for writing round #longcovid. It takes so much time, effort, planning, discipline. For such tiny steps forward. So you REALLY have to want to do it... (wishing you all the best, and many more books, @Sally_writes )

I know some people wonder how I can write books whilst having Severe ME. Here’s how: 1) It takes me years (and years and years) 2) I rest in bed. Loads. And pace my mini activities carefully (shower, eating etc) so I can feel semi alive (1/?)

I’ve not had the energy to get out for a wee walk since mid January, so I was worried I would miss the banks of snowdrops on ##Edinburgh’s #cyclepath. But when I made it out yesterday, there they were, patiently nodding away, waiting for me! #longcovid #smallpleasures

While Labour and Tories attempt to defend the indefensibly high student debt in England, Scottish students get free tuition thanks to the SNP. For as long as we’re in government, Scottish undergraduate students will pay no fees. Vote SNP to protect free university tuition.

Small writerly pleasures: putting a page of research notes about whirlpools in the writing folder marked ‘current’ … #amwriting #amresearching

I have signed the cross-party letter urging Ofcom to reject the damaging proposals to scrap the STV North news service. Locally produced, distinct, regional news is essential to a healthy democracy. The North of Scotland must not be an afterthought. #SaveSTVNorth

🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped. Results? • 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 • 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality • No increase in 4-year mortality • Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause. In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉
