Symptoms are “horrible” and severe cases are a “living nightmare.” @georgemonbiot.bsky.social speaks to @natashadevon.bsky.social on LBC about ME/CFS, its long history of being dismissed and psychologised, and the role of governments and insurers.

Important article in the Guardian today by George Monbiot about ME. I've been bedridden for 8 yrs and likely had ME for over 30 yrs since I had glandular fever in the '90s. My health was never the same since. Initially I was told I was 'just unlucky'. #MEcfs #MedicalScandals

Capitalism? Being chronically ill in this type of society is to be devalued.

Intending to write another column about the treatment of #ME/CFS patients this week, pegged to new research findings on the biological basis. My question for sufferers: Are any of you still being offered inappropriate (psych/GET etc) "treatments"? Please email george at monbiot dot info. Thanks.

Surface pattern design of succulents for some of the larger fabric items available on Redbubble. It's the first time I've tried surface pattern so please be gentle. My brain nearly fell out. It's not quite right, but there's always a next time. #Artsky #PlantParent www.redbubble.com/i/tote-bag/S...

I don't use Etsy so not sure about how good it is. Also yes I've pinned mine to my profile, but I get less than £100/ year from my Redbubble shop so not the best to advise. Have shared.

I haven't been using this platform for a while. My mum died in May, and I'm slowly putting myself back together after overseeing her care from my bed over the past couple of years, organising a funeral I couldn't go to, and the ensuing sadmin. It has been a year!

Privilege of various kinds does a lot of heavy lifting in the inspirational wellness industrial complex. It's frustrating when people can't see it, because making other people feel crap about themselves is the opposite of wellness and inspiration.

A robin photo from when I was able to go out with my modest telephoto lens (I was unable to hold anything bigger than that up). I can't believe this was 10 years ago. #Nature #Robins #Photography
A photo of a robin on a curved red brick wall top. 
Words: I took meow worms today but no one was interested in them. This was the result of another photography twitcher with sunflower seeds. I'm jealous of his lens. It's bigger than mine, but I suppose it's what you do with it that counts.
