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

Today is the sixth anniversary of the purposeful attack that led to my Covid infection & subsequent development of Long Covid. One short interaction whose violence has yet to end. Please, if you have the means, consider supporting this goal. gofund.me/b8571f7ef

Good article by Julia, but I would add, don’t just let us be, HELP. Wear a mask in places where high risk people have to be, so you aren’t *contributing* to their risk. This is ground zero of a you’re either helping or hurting situation.

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny

Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

Do you know how many people aren’t protesting today because you’ve disabled or killed them with covid? Real uncomfortable question, I know. What would you do if you knew your personal number (of people you’ve disabled or worse)? Would it matter?

Absolutely wild how extremely far right rhetoric on Covid/disabled people, that liberals and leftists rightly attacked MAGA for in 2020, has now been mainstreamed to the point that leftists/liberals are further right on public health than most MAGA people were in 2020. Julia outlines it well here

thegauntlet.news

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health

Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

You do understand the government should be supplying public health info we shouldn't have to rely on trading tips on social media for safety, tracking the sewage independently, measuring how much cold medicine is on the shelf or reading scented candle reviews? Ok just so we know that.

I am exhausted by dissonance. Love and miss me? Then wear an n95 in public, test, and disclose exposure info to allow me informed consent. Onboard with disability justice? Ask your friends and friends why they aren’t. Make your presence contingent on mitigation like vulnerable people must do.

Disabled people exist in a rigged, ableist system where we have to “ask” nondisabled people for access, accommodation, rights and equity.

The whole “women are saving the economy” thing (e.g. Taylor Swift tour, Barbie movie) doesn’t quite hit for me when women are the ones becoming disproportionately sicker as a result of mass infection/mass disablement policies in service of capitalism.

it’s really trippy being a 35-year old woman cuz on the one hand, society is like “you’re a washed up witch haunting the town square” and on the other hand, you go to the doctor and you’re told “oh sweet summer child, you’re WAY too young for that.”

Megan Rapinoe standing up for trans rights: “‘We as a country are trying to legislate away people’s full humanity’, she says. Proponents of such laws often claim they’re protecting women’s sports…‘Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women’s sports? That’s total bullsh-t.’”

Megan Rapinoe on the cover of TIME. She’s wearing a matching multicolor jacket and pants set, with a white top and her hands crossed below her waist. Her hair is a lavender purple. The text to the left reads “THE CHAMPION” and “Megan Rapinoe fights for equality — and a third title”

With equal pay on the books, Rapinoe has shifted her focus to trans-rights advocacy. She’s particularly contemptuous of policies designed to keep transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams. “We as a country are trying to legislate away people’s full humanity,” she says. Proponents of such laws often claim they’re protecting women’s sports. “It’s particularly frustrating when women’s sports is weaponized,” she says. “Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women’s sports? That’s total bullsh-t. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It’s just not happening.”

The “keep infecting the population with a devastating virus in the name of capitalism” propaganda has become so blatantly obvious that it’s reached new levels of absurdity. As many have pointed out, *COVID* can —> clots, cardiovascular disease, diabetes (& more health issues).
