Imagine being very sick, but like, forever. Now imagine still having to do everything you do now. Welcome to chronic illness.

MCAS - When You’re Allergic to Everything and Nothing All at Once

An introduction to mast cell disease that examines what these cells do, why they misbehave and common symptoms, treatments and steps to diagnosis.

Its 0341 AM. I cannot sleep. I have had the first verse of Roxanne stuck in my head on loop in three different versions - the og, community and moulin rouge. Cursed be this brain.

"NOPE refashions the Western as a genre that tells a story of American erasure by its survivors. Jordan Peele pays tribute to the forgotten subject of Eadweard Muybridge’s iconic print by reimagining a bespoke legacy: the rider receives not only a name and a backstory—he also gets a future."

I don't think they've made the jump to Bluesky yet but another great read from abolitionistfutures. The Gov want us dead already, slowly starving, freezing and making us wait for essential healthcare; don't help make it any easier.

The Substance is such a brilliant movie. Filled to the brim with blood and gore, but the scariest scene is when Demi Moore can’t get herself to go on a date because of crippling self-doubt.

#DisabilityTax

“The reality is that it is expensive to be disabled. Research shows that disabled people need at least 28% more income, at least $17,690, to achieve a standard of living similar to that of non-disabled people.”

PIP cancelled on me for a second time 😞
I've been unable to work since Jan and reliant entirely on my partner and friends to stay alive this long. Definitely not money this side of Christmas. Why does the gov want me dead so bad 😭

10AM me: "Ok I'll quickly check notifications, mustn't spend long online because it always causes PEM and RSI pain."

11:37AM me: "Oh look, my hands hurt, my brain hurts."

Yet I want to connect, help, learn, support. ME + RSI are a shite combo.

it's not irrationality produced by a chemically unbalanced brain, just my reality. I've been depressed and anxious since I was 12 (late diagnosed #ADHD woi) but this is now just realism. If I were to list off all my issues I think it would honestly be at the bottom. Circs are sad, I'm not. #ME/CFS
“Contrary to popular misconception, anxiety and depression are the least often affected areas in persons with #MECFS who are most impacted by their inability to perform usual activities.”

We’re not afraid. We’re not anxious.
We physically can’t do the things we want to.
