“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

It's ok to not feel ok. It's ok if your antlers haven't grown in yet. It's ok if you can't shape-shift into a raven. It's ok if you haven't haunted the night for a while. I know you're doing your best, and that's all any of us can do right now.

For RFK Jr and his “measles isn’t serious” disciples: “A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was”.

I want you all to appreciate this Attic kylix from the 470s BC depicting the scene where Jason is supposed to be killing the Colchian dragon that guards the Golden Fleece. Except for some reason, it’s either swallowing or barfing him while Athena checks in.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make ACA coverage harder for people with chronic illness, including ME/CFS. More paperwork, lost provisional eligibility, shorter enrollment, higher premiums, and Medicaid work requirements increase gaps and financial risk. www.ama-assn.org/health-care-...

The Iran war is causing a sharp rise in the price of jet fuel, a major cost for airlines that will soon be passed on to travelers.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

When you’re living with chronic illness, your body calls the shots. It doesn’t matter how hard you try. It doesn’t matter how badly you “want” to do something. There’s time when your body will say “No”. You’re no longer in control and it can be devastating.

Good night, friends. May the darkness wrap around you like a blanket, may the stars shine upon your path, and may the gothic mansion you flee to in a storm only be as haunted as you want it to be.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh. What? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

This is Angie Farella, RFK Jr’s new vaccine advisor. She’s encouraging sick children to hug grandma and grandpa because that’s how you pass on immunity. No. That’s how you hurt the vulnerable. If you’re sick, stay home. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Don’t pass it on.

Trans people are under attack. They are trying to make them going out in public illegal. They are taking away their licenses. If you cannot see that the moment you unpeople one demographic, you create a gray area for every other demographic, you're beyond hope. Trans rights are human rights.

Dear @mockwriting.bsky.social ,

You may think mono is just a thing you get in college but oh hey guess what it can reactivate decades later and cause MECFS

Why are we agreeing with Matt Walsh what is happening

I’m begging people to learn about post-infections syndromes in history POTS/dysautonomia research goes back to the US Civil War at least, and MECFS research around the same time These are two leading conditions in many post-infectious syndromes leading to housebound and bedbound patients

You’ll rarely see MECFS and dysautonomia patients say the flu is unserious — the flu causes MECFS and dysautonomias in plenty of people, worsens it in many more Dismissing infections doesn’t make us safer, it increases the disability population and disability severity Denial won’t protect you

And even when people are more mildly disabled, they often don’t want to disclose that they have a stigmatized illness. Don’t expect people to just tell you these things.

Medicine's ongoing failure to deal with Long Covid did not begin in 2020. It happened decades before that. Nothing has changed since, all of this has been and continues to be intentional. There is something deeply wrong with parts of this industry, in how they deal with their own failures.

“Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

I imagine that the orc cries after 100 repetitions of this...

Whenever there are healthcare cuts, disabled people suffer. It’s eugenics. They see us as expendable. Many think we’re “better off dead”. It’s no surprise that when they need to save money, it’s taken from Disability services. Home care saves lives. This is awful.

Disability Day of Mourning is a day dedicated to grieving disabled people who’ve been killed by their caregivers. The people we entrust to keep us safe are often the ones most likely to hurt us. Why? Because ableism is violence but the non disabled don’t see it that way. 🧵

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS. Visit restandmecfs.com for more.
