When you’ve spent an entire day resting and doing nothing, get to bed at a sensible time, then wake up feeling exhausted, like you need to sleep for hours and hours.
That’s chronic fatigue.
It’s not ‘feeling tired’, it’s not ‘feeling sleepy’. It’s struggling every day with utter exhaustion, and still dragging yourself out of bed to get to work.
Fatigue is not the same as being tired, pass it on.
ANYONE WHO HAS DEALT WITH THE FAIR FOLK WILL TELL YOU ONE THING: THEY LOOK HUMAN BUT THEY NEVER LOOK NORMAL
THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF FASHION LIKE MORTALS DO DURING THE RENAISSANCE THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO EMULATE “COUNTRY PEOPLE” BY WEARING MORTAL CLOTHES ALONG WITH A MIXTURE OF DIRT COSMETICS AND DEAD PLANTS
CONSIDER THE JOKE “I CANT TELL IF THAT PERSON IS ULTRA-FASHIONABLE OR HOMELESS”
EVERY LAST ONE OF THE FAIR FOLK LOOKS LIKE THAT
BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TELL THEM APART FROM A HUMAN WITH AN ODD FASHION SENSE?

Psychologists often find that parents treat baby girls and boys differently, despite an absence of any discernible differences in the babies’ behavior or abilities. One study, for example, found that mothers conversed and interacted more with girl babies and young toddlers, even when they were as young as six months old. This was despite the fact that boys were no less responsive to their mother’s speech and were no more likely to leave their mother’s side. As the authors suggest, this may help girls learn the higher level of social interaction expected of them, and boys the greater independence. Mothers are also more sensitive to changes in facial expressions of happiness when an unfamiliar six-month-old baby is labeled as a girl rather than a boy, suggesting that their gendered expectations affect their perception of babies’ emotions. Gendered expectations also seem to bias mothers’ perception of their infants’ physical abilities. Mothers were shown an adjustable sloping walkway, and asked to estimate the steepness of slope their crawling eleven-month-old child could manage and would attempt. Girls and boys differed in neither crawling ability nor risk taking when it came to testing them on the walkway. But mothers underestimated girls and overestimated boys–both in crawling ability and crawling attempts–meaning that in the real world they might often wrongly think their daughters incapable of performing or attempting some motor feats, and equally erroneously think their sons capable of others. As infants reach the toddler and preschool years, researchers find that mothers talk more to girls than to boys, and that they talk about emotions differently to the two sexes–and in a way that’s consistent with (and sometimes helps to create the truth of) the stereotyped belief that females are the emotion experts.

As of this Friday, anyone operating an independent online presence in
Tanzania will have to pay a licensing fee equivalent to an average
year’s wages, and submit to a harsh set of censorship rules, as well as
an obligation to unmask anonymous posters and commenters, with stiff
penalties for noncompliance.
The rule covers blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels and other forms of
independent media. Failure to license your channel triggers fines of
“not less than five million Tanzanian shillings” (USD2,500 – almost
three years’ wages) and/or prison sentences of at least a year.
Legal challenges to the rule have failed, clearing the way for it to take effect on the 15th.
Among the sites that have shut down in advance of the rule are Jamii
Forum (called the “Tanzanian Reddit” and the “Tanzanian Wikileaks”),
whose co-founder was arrested in December 2016 for refusing to identify
the sites members.
Also gone are the personal sites of prominent Tanzanian commentators
like Aikande Kwayu and Elsie Eyakuze. Others sites have taken refuge
outside Tanzania: the Udadisi blog has been transferred to Takura
Zhangazha, who lives in Zimbabwe.
Licensed bloggers are bound over to a complex set of rules, including a
mandate to identify all their commenters, and to assist police in
prosecuting commenters whose speech is deemed unlawful.
Online independent media has surged since it first came to Tanzania in
2007, presenting an alternative to the state-aligned tame press.
