Managing this - the effect the furious grief about the loss of your old life, the restriction and social isolation #mecfs has on your MH - is a job in itself in the first few years. Took me about 7 years to get to a non-dangerous-to-myself place with it. There's no help from the #nhs.

Is your ivy flowering? Please don't cut it back if you can avoid it! At this time of year in the UK, ivy flowers are a brilliant late season pit-stop for hard-pressed pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths 🐝 #gardening #wildlife #nature

we don't have a welfare budget problem in the uk. that has been made up wholesale by our political and news media class in order to justify policies of eugenics. we spend the same percentage of gdp on welfare as we did in the 1980s.

Water nationalisation for our water security? End north sea oil & gas - invest in renewables for our energy security? A maximum workplace temperature for worker security? No. A request not to sell BBQs. This is dire from Andy Burnham. Spectacularly mishandling the crisis.
Burnham had faced calls from the green party to chair a cobra meeting on the heatwaves with leader Zack Polanski accusing the pm of inaction amid threats to public health and food supplies

The only idea I could think of to reversing this incredibly harmful policy would be a mass resignation or strike of school staff who refuse to work under a hateful segregationist policy. Inconveniencing the education of cis children would be perhaps the only way to get pressure to change course

School violence is now institutionalised & folded into legal compliance & 'safeguarding'. Individual teachers who provide 1-1 affirmation to a trans child cannot ameliorate the harm. A whole-of-school approach of refusal to follow harmful policy is needed. Few schools will have the stomach.

I knitted this 350ppm banner out of plarn 17 years ago, just before COP 15 in 2009. The banner went up to Scotland and was displayed on Skye bridge. 350ppm was the level of CO2 in the atmosphere in about 1988. We are now at 430ppm. #ClimateCrisis
A smiling woman, standing on her patio, displays a 2m knitted plarn banner depicting the 350.org logo in turquoise (3), dark blue (5), and swirly orange (0). Still from STV news from Skye Bridge.
