Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I am disabled and very very underemployed ever since I was laid off in November of 2024. If I’m being honest I am losing hope of finding full time employment again. So I am trying to come up with other ways of supporting my family, bit by bit.

Poor Charlie needed therapy, not Survivor 50. I said to my kids, I adored that kid, but he really needed to stop being such a pissypants about Rizzo. There was no way that was going to end well!

This is the YouTube link to the latest episode, but I believe the audio is also up on the major podcast sites and apps :) I know I'm biased, but I really think they're entertaining. And my son - who was born 6 years after Survivor premiered, has a SCARY amount of knowledge about it!

Have you been loving #Survivor50? Can't get enough? You should check out the Reality Rangers podcast, where my Survivor-obsessed son and his friend dissect every episode with the precision of Christian making fire with a pair of glasses and sheer will! youtu.be/Y3mC_5vDC10?...

Wow. Fucking disgusting. Pierre Poilievre is such a loser, man. Note to everyone: if your rights become politically unpopular, Poilievre will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, apparently.
Poilievre quote tweets JK Rowling saying « what she said » after JK writes: « Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women. »

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

I *really* wish that someone would explain to right wingers that government debt is not the same as household debt. That our grandchildren will NOT be living in poverty because in 2020 we gave out relief to people who lost their paycheques due to Covid. It's exhausting listening to them yell.

I started watching "Who's the Boss?" on CTV Throwback yesterday. Just an episode here and there. But it's so calming. Sometimes hiding in nostalgia is a form of self-care.

"Undeterred, she came back a few days later when the gate was unlocked. This time, she drove straight inside, not asking permission. Her staff 'deliberately dropped me off inside the lobby before they knew that we were there,' she said." More of this. Thank you, @chu.house.gov.

I think one of the worst of the problems with the Ford government is the sheer NUMBER of horrible things they are doing makes it impossible to keep the ire up about anything for very long, because then the next indignity comes along. But I will never not be angry about the Science Centre. #ONpoli

It will never cease to amaze me how people will talk over disabled folks, tell us we’re wrong, infantilize us etc… and yet they can’t realize that in refusing to believe us and give us agency they’re almost always proving our point. We aren’t listened to. We aren’t believed. Ableism is everywhere

Random thought of the day: women seem to - on the whole, individual cases excepted - be more open re bisexuality. Men tend to stubbornly insist they are either gay or straight. I don’t think it’s that there are fewer bi men. But I wonder if it’s just indicative of overall black and white thinking?

It's somewhat miraculous that Brian Wilson managed to live as long as he did, given everything, but it's still a loss to his family, and a great loss to music. His talent was truly a gift for the ages, and I hope he managed to find peace in his later years.

"Like watching the dead-beat dad next door and his POS son - who have been openly threatening you and your family for months - start whaling on each other in their own driveway," say Canadians. "So yeah, keep it up eh. Smack the shit out of each other. Fuckin' boneheads."
