I do NOT understand why the student encampments of 2023/2024 have been COMPLETELY memory-holed. The response to those emcampments were among the most BRUTAL repression the country has enacted and people are STILL being persecuted TODAY.

I'm so tired of doctors and lawyers and professionals generally assuming that disabled patients will have: - a printer - a desktop or laptop computer that works - ability to go places at will - ability to read dense writing on a dim or bright skin I have severe ME/CFS I'm not maintaining an office!

yet another article about us that doesn’t quote a single trans person. let alone the awful framing that the dem non-position in 2024 had a meaningful impact on the outcome

I can't express how surreal and dismaying it is that whether people like me are allowed to participate in society or not is this huge abstract political issue, while the actual *lives* of people like me have never mattered less We don't matter *so much* our existence is an automatic moral panic

You don't owe anyone an explanation for your bad days. But if it helps, keeping a simple log of how you feel can be really powerful when talking to your doctor. #ChronicIllness #HealthTracking #DoctorVisit

It's what explains why Musk runs roughshod over environmental or consumer-safety laws, and Meta thumbs its nose at corporate-tax laws: experience has taught them to expect no punishment. It's elite impunity in practice: when you're a star, they let you do it.

We're not dying fast enough to qualify for VAD. While quality of life scores say we're more than half dead, we're staying that way, so no one will help

Odds 10% - full recovery 25% - any recovery 40% - ending my life 35% - that I stay the same or get worse, including possibly actually dying from this shit No one tells you how to cope, to grieve, to deal with the guilt of donating possibly infected blood, of maybe having given this to someone else

The most crushing thing about M.E.: People pretend that my life isn't basically over. That I'm not just waiting to be buried. I can't do any of the things I used to. I struggle to do basic self care or breath. But they pretend I'm okay... It's like the sky changed colour and no one noticed but me

It is misogynistic to pretend that the treatment men get is just as bad as that which women experience. You're doing the equivalent of wanting a fire department to save "all houses" rather than the ones that are on fire

What are you talking about ?? Claiming that men not getting a promotion is the same but "the other way" as women being assaulted is definitely minimising I'm not going to keep explaining concepts a primary school child should understand to a grown man

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

lately ive noticed politics take a sharp turn into using hope *as* whats being sold on its own, and its not how hope works, like people are meant to be given hope by actually being helped and having their lives changed, but we're being sold "the idea that things may get better" by politicians

I literally can't get any pain meds stronger than anti inflammatories because the medical system has decided I "can't be in that much pain" Kinda like they decided I "can't have all those conditions" ... But I do

Most effective med for my pain is ketamine, "experimental", US$600 per infusion. Still have to "try" a bunch of pointless shit before they'll cover "new meds". Most of why I'm disabled is simply faffing around with shitty side effects cuz I can't access actual effective meds.
