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

This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.

I put in a raised bed by the backdoor last year and it is really going gangbusters with flowers this year. Some perennials made it thru the winter plus some annuals that are sort of taking the bed by storm #BloomScrolling #flowers

The top of a corrugated, square raised bed filled with flowers. It includes purple and orange flowers spilling over the side, some almost hidden darker orange flowers in the middle, plus a mass of tall pink flowers on the left that are about to topple out of the box. Mostly in shade but afternoon sun visible all around

Summers here in western Oregon are dry. A dry summer after a comparatively dry winter with little snowpack means it is now very, very dry. Some trees are reacting to the stress by starting to change colors early, like this maple. #oregon #pnw #trees #LeafScrolling

A trio of maple leaves have already turned maroon with green veins near the end of the branch. More leaves and branches can be seen behind. A conifer of some flavor is visible in the background

A very fluffy tabby sits in a small Lightweight foldable camp chair she is completely relaxed and laid back with belly up and paw being licked by a large tongue. She looks a little bit suspicious of the human who is looking at her with the phone. She is completely relaxed and having a nice bath.

Canes lupi pembrokenses, from the left: Oscar, posing glamorously in an elegant sit for the camera, and Abbie, also sitting down almost leaning against a bigger dog, possibly a retriever, mostly out of frame, who may have just intruded on her personal space. Abbie's tongue is WAY out. Oscar looks very dashing.
