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 went outside today and found some nice mushrooms. I had the idea of a sketchbook dedicated to all mushroom species I see. Now thinking about how to go about that.

"Good morning, person contemplating" ...a dog walker said to me this morning while I was sitting by the river. I waved "Hello". The last heatwave had me stuck indoors for the past three days, and I was enjoying the fresh morning air and an overcast sky on an early and quiet Saturday morning. (1/3)

For years I had this idea that using too many stitch markers was a sign of weakness. Then I stopped being dumb, and the best thing I've bought is a bag of bulb pins and a bag of number beads - rows, repeats, anything you want, right there on your piece! It's glorious! #showmeyourknits 🧶

A box filled with multicolored bulb pins, a bag full of tiny beads marked with numbers 0-9, and a piece of knitting with the beads added to the pins to mark rows of a cable pattern.

Your thoughts don’t cause your dysregulation. They indicate it. The 4am spiral isn’t why you’re not okay. It’s the smoke, not the fire. For autistic folx, rumination is the nervous system waving a flag - your needs aren’t being met, and it’s trying to tell you.
