They force-feminized all the World Cup players and now it’s called the Girled Cup. They did this due to woke and gender. The sport is called footovary now too sorry. Girled Cup

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

A joint ME/CFS study of 9,000+ patients across 10 European countries finds a bimodal onset: adolescence (~16 yrs) & early middle age (~36.6 yrs). Early-onset cases are often infection-triggered, more severe, & linked to affected relatives. UK data validated academic.oup.com/ooim/advance...

It's International Long COVID Awareness Day. I feel so many things. I mourn those we have lost. I mourn those of us who are bedbound or housebound and pushed from society. I mourn the lifeline research, funding, and services that have been cut by this administration.

After a little over a year completely bedbound by #ME/CFS and #LongCovid, I am now officially able to stand up (for a few seconds), transfer myself to the wheelchair, and even spend some time in the living room instead of only my bed!!! 6 months ago this was my dream, and now it’s real! 💚💚💚

my roommate had to literally shout at me to put down reddit and start fucking helping him with the dishes after i nearly died laughing so hard at this single image of james hurley from twin peaks

Rainier Beach High School confirms active tuberculosis case, 130 people possibly exposed

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

I absolutely know cancer patients who lost opportunities to stay in curative care because of covid infections that they caught on unmasked inpatient oncology units and derailed their treatment

The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

me in 2022 when I moved to a wonderful location in New Orleans just as I became moderate-severe #ME/CFS / #LongCovid

Reddit: "The people who are studying the impact of COVID literally talk about it in the past tense, as if we are building monuments to some past event. Like “wow we should learn from COVID to listen to disabled people” you mean the disabled people trying to tell you covid is still ongoing??!"

We’re over halfway through our end-of-year fundraiser, and we’re not where we need to be to keep our vital work going. We have three weeks left to hit our goals of $60,000 and 200 monthly supporters. The #LongCOVID community needs us — we need you! the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

I was outlining a new short story and the words were flowing, character-specific quotes were plopping on the page, my typing fingers were tingling with delight! And I ended up plotting a novel. 🙄 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #writesky

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

honestly some of the best framing/explanation i’ve seen so far #chronicillness #disability #mecfs

a perk about being bedbound: i get to be really delusional about what clothes i could theoretically pull off since i haven’t glimpsed my own reflection in almost a year

It is near impossible to convince people that I’m telling the truth when I say “exercise damages my muscles” bc it’s so counter to everything we think we know about bodies.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Marriage equality does not exist for everyone until disabled people can marry without losing their benefits.

I’m heartbroken at the loss of Leslie & for YB who he loved deeply & fiercely. For seven years, I had the privilege of knowing him—his mind, his humor, his boundless creativity, & unflinching political clarity. The world is immeasurably poorer without his voice. All gfm will cover funeral & expenses
