I'm chronically ill and almost completely bedbound.
I have so little energy in a day that I can't make simple meals for myself, and walking to the bathroom leaves me out of breath.
I make many people uncomfortable, so they would rather believe that I am faking it than acknowledge my existence.

It isn’t even a MONTH in and they already got to the concentration camp part of their plan.

Seriously. Tell me again how history doesn’t repeat itself.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

I had to go out for some groceries this morning. My 1st shot at avoiding anything from the US.
I needed apples so I skipped over those from the US. ON grown only. Got some broccoli from Mexico.
This is how we roll now.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Well done to Mark Vink on getting another piece published: this one has the provocative title, "CBT and graded exercise therapy studies have proven that ME/CFS and long Covid are physical diseases, yet no one is aware of that"

I do feel like we forget that a mere 100 years ago 20% of children in America just fucking died.

My existence reminds people that anyone can become severely disabled at any time with no warning.
This is scary, and they'd rather not think about that.
So, instead, they remove me from their lives.
This includes close friends and family members.
Since becoming ill, my community has shrunk so much.
