If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

When mask bans were first being enacted, disabled people warned they marked a return to Ugly Laws. They were a crucial step towards eliminating us from public life. They were designed to make us hide away, unable to safely exist in public. Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine.

Long covidiin sairastuneilla on tämä sama ongelma. Järjestelmä ei tunnista työkyvyttömyyden oikeaa syytä. Uupumuksen osalta näyttäisi nyt olevan tahtotilaa tehdä asialle jotain. Kävin allekirjoittamassa. Käy sinäkin! www.kansalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/18...
Nykyinen lainsäädännön tila on johtanut käytäntöön, jossa työntekijän toimeentulon turvaamiseksi työuupumuksen sijaan terveydenhuollossa sairauspoissaolon syyksi kirjataan jokin muu diagnoosi, esimerkiksi masennus tai ahdistuneisuus. Tämä ei palvele työntekijää, työpaikkoja eikä päätöksentekoa. Sen sijaan vallitseva käytäntö vaikeuttaa työuupumuksen tunnistamista, ilmiön tilastollista seurantaa, siihen puuttumista ja ennalta ehkäisyä.

We can spend our lives debating the justifications (I more or less have); but we are wasting our time. What we need is a massive clampdown on the influence of money over politics, including lobbying transparency, campaign finance reform, an end to the revolving door between politics and lobbying.

That’s because the decision has already been made. The issue being debated is merely the post-hoc justification. Where decisions happen and where debate happens are different places. The idea that debate leads to policy outcomes is a fiction designed to create an impression of democratic consent.

Then the government must find a find of selling this policy, which might be very harmful. It will argue that it’s essential for “growth”, “jobs”, “international standing” etc. Opponents will then argue these claims, engaging in the great democratic tradition of “debate”. But debate is irrelevant.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

I hate when people say "you'll get through this."

I've been getting through things my entire life. I'm tired of just getting through things. I want to feel light. I want to feel safe in my own life. I want to stop carrying things I never chose to carry.

I want to exist without constantly feeling like something bad is about to happen.
