It’s not just that the genocide is live streamed it’s that many of us have interacted with its victims on social media. It’s that the lives of our students are imperiled for speaking against it. That our civil liberties are. The genocide is a part of our lives and still we do not stop it.

Every single year I have lived here, it gets worse. A constant but ever-increasing buzzing noise, a greasy shutter gradually enveloping the skies. I am better off than almost every other migrant and I still feel it: I have witnessed the state turn a small island into complete shit, and for what?

In 15 years ME/CFS has taken everything from me. I and 400,000 people urgently need UK Government to fund ME research and DWP to not withdraw the pittance we rely on meanwhile. 1.5 million people with Long Covid need the same thing. glass.photo/andrewgiffor... #WorldMEDay #MEAwarenessDay #MECFS
