This is the disease for which I research and advocate: #MECFS. Even mild presentation is life-changing, and this is what severe looks like. People are surprised so many of us were athletes. They want to believe this can only happen to people who were already unwell. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
I have been diagnosed with CFS but idk how real that is despite being very sick. I had a doctors appt yesterday and despite being a good doctor who was trying their best, I am left again with no real diagnosis or interest in treating my symptoms or really figure out what’s going on.
Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The amount of our culture and history that they are destroying right now probably goes much deeper than we know because of their access.
I shudder to think about what he’s done with all of the important stuff/art that he’s destroyed that we haven’t yet found out about. It actually makes me totally nauseous.

As our president tries to paint Canada as an enemy during the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it might be a good time to see "Come From Away," the story of a small Canadians town embrace of Americans stuck there after the terror attack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af77...

This is especially insane when you take into account, I think, that the Omani government is known as being good partners who try to intervene for peace. Goodness gracious, I want off this ride.
Not that anything matters anymore, but Oman hosts U.S. forces including USAF air wings alongside allowing us access to naval support facilities at Duqm. Great coalition building Mr. President! Very reassuring to our security partners!

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

THIS SYSTEM IS WHAT ENSLAVES YOU, SCOTT. It is not the absence of status! It is the fact that you have been made obsessed with it & that it can be withheld! That is what the "Far Left" is trying to tell you, for thousands of years you have been trapped in a system that deliberately degrades you

Legal immigration as most Americans conceive of it does not meaningfully exist in the United States. "Just come here the right way" is one of the most pernicious lies in contemporary US politics, accepted across the aisle as the goal of the immigration debate when it's impossible in reality.

The thing is you gotta be obsessed with the Nazi regime to even reach for a Bonhoeffer reference here and you gotta be an incredibly twisted soul to think Bonhoeffer’s nonviolent heroism is the tragedy we can’t repeat in that story.
