PLEASE, PLEASE can we make sure we verify info before making claims that someone is an abuser My whole week was fucked up because of a PTSD episode triggered by someone telling me that someone I know is abusive and it turned out to not be true.

I feel like I must be winning some kind of 'weird relationship with smoking' prize. I was *so stressed* 12 days ago so I rolled a cigarette with some old,dried out tobacco, added some leftover weed for flavour and then didn't smoke it until tonight. When I smoked half of it.

I looked into the Harley Street clinic featured in btb with @iwriteok.bsky.social for my ME. Absolutely wild to hear it on the podcast & to find out chelation therapy is so dangerous & they would have had me travel there for a treatment that's dangerous as well as nonsense

Sometimes I think I'm allergic to advice. To the point where, even if someone is asking me what they should do- I don't answer it without caveats. Maybe a normal thing has been ruined by years of being chronically ill & trying so hard & being told what I should do by people with no idea.

Genuine question about Cory Booker's filibuster Like, why? We don't have filibusters here, so, I only know of them as a tool that is used to prevent legislation being passed, but that wasn't the case here. I don't understand why you wouldn't save this tactic to prevent dangerous legislation

Labour are scrapping the capability for work assessments. They say this is to prevent disabled people from being 'written off' and excluded from support back into work. This is a blatant lie. It means disabled people will be forced to study, prepare, or look for work or lose our income.

If you believe that only the “fit” should survive and the rest are excusable deaths, that’s eugenics. Every life is important. Every disabled person is worthy of life. Disability is part of nature. If you live long enough, you will become disabled. We’re all vulnerable and all valuable.

I wish with all my heart that I *could* just exercise and take care of my body and get better. I miss running. I miss working. I miss Reading and studying and just, being out in the world. It feels like all of my disability support is under threat and there's nothing I can do

Labour MP just said that the number of people claiming disability benefits has DOUBLED since before the pandemic. (From 500/day to 1000/day). And their answer is to make it harder to get those benefits. Instead of actually treating long covid and putting reasonable infection control in place.
