Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apropos of a conversation I’m having literally right now
People often push the disabled to take risks with our health.
They think if it’s already “that bad” who cares if it gets worse
We care.
Our baselines mean everything to us.
Whatever limited function we have left is always worth protecting.
You don’t get it until you get it.

It’s sad that so many people reject country music because it’s associated with brainless conservatism. Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar. These people are clear sighted American folk music outlaws.
Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

There are so many hurdles to proper care 😩 You’re lucky if your doctor knows what POTS is, much less how to treat it, but then they ALSO need to know POTS is often comorbid with ME, which makes the standard physical therapy contraindicated. Even this NBA star is likely not in good hands

Reports that Boston Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis likely has Long COVID or a similar post-viral illness.
This has reduced his ability to play and is a major reason why the Celtics are losing playoff games.
We need to break the stigma around Long COVID. It can affect everyone.

It’s POTS awareness day—a blood flow problem common after Covid.
POTS can be subtle—I often wonder how many people who feel rundown, anxious or distracted have this treatable condition.
Main criteria is heart rate going up >30bpm when going from laying down to standing—smthg you can check at home!
