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

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

A headline in pink says "Trans day of visibility."
Text in white says "more info on our Instagram: @pcsrandcwales"
In one of the pink stars, it says "T D O V demo, Tuesday 31 March, 12-1pm, Outside Tŷ William Morgan (UK Gov Building), Speakers welcome."
In another pink star is a picture of a banner that says "P C S fighting for [unreadable] services" in English and Welsh.
At the bottom, on a dark blue background, is the P C S logo and the text "Public and Commercial Services Union."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dawivhsr4ydsrhfuyu5k4nov/bafkreieyanqmssh6y3iaxcshhoby76umfte2s6pztig5yssiz4oiufbchu)
![Time for a new chapter! ✍️
After five years with FTWW, I’ve decided to move on at the end of April to focus on my health and my writing.
Since graduating from my MA in Creative Writing, balancing writing and my job with my health has become increasingly difficult. I’ve reached a point where I need to see if I can make the dream of being a 'proper' writer a reality.
I am so proud of everything we’ve achieved at FTWW and leaving isn’t an easy choice. A huge thank you to my colleagues and the community—I’m looking forward to continuing my support as a volunteer and ME Champion.
What’s next? Alongside my writing projects (including finally finishing my novel), I’ll be taking on a limited amount of freelance [writing / editing / PR / marketing] work. If you’d like to collaborate, please get in touch!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:55kmd2aoquz6y3wu4sqy2wmn/bafkreiff4evsj4xzhgdv7qizkjqlshi2qgvric56hmfvkenz5brje3m6pu)
