One especially relevant to the ladeez: Medical gaslighting: when conditions turn out not to be 'all in the mind'

WTF?

Oh, I just said “Hello” to you in italics.

(That’s similar to what someone who uses a screen reader hears when you use fancy non-alphabetical Unicode characters to simulate italics or boldface on your fediverse posts. So please don’t do that.)

The Missus and I are going to #PuertoRico. She has #fibromyalgia (severe, chronic pain and fatigue) and is often fairly limited, physically. I wonder if folks familiar with PR across the fediverse can recommend activities for us (other than the obvious beach time) that will give her fun experiences without over-stressing her body. We will have a vehicle.

I know this is a niche question, so I appreciate your boosts to reach folks who can help!

Did you know that #Exeter #Cathedral has a #cat door?

The cathedral built in the 14th century, houses an #astronomical #clock.

The original clockwork was greased with animal fat, which attracted vermin.

To combat this, the #bishop allowed a cat to enter the clock room via a #hole in the door.

This hole is also believed to be the origin of the nursery rhyme “Hickory Dickory Dock” (…the mouse ran up the clock…).
