What people without chronic pain or conditions don't realise is how much a bad flare up impacts your ability to work, because all our time is taken up with having to go online and complain to strangers about it

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

Happy St Brigid’s Day everyone, today, 1st February Lá Fhéile Bríde sona daoibh go léir In Ireland, it’s our traditional beginning of Spring; the light is coming come back, and birds are singing outside the window here www.museum.ie/en-IE/News/S...

@nidoc.bsky.social there's aur Sarah 🥳🎉🤩💙

The Irish saint and goddess entwined, Brigid is associated with blacksmiths, spring, and cattle, among others, and stories like blinding herself to repel men's unwanted attention. The three-armed cross here represents both the triple goddess and the trinity. Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh 🌸

Happy Imbolc 🌱

Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh ó Dún Dealgan🎉 #StBrigidsDay #Spéirghorm

Interesting concept🤔 Would love to see this trialled outside of big cities... perhaps in socio economically deprived communities that don't necessarily have any supports at all for those with chronic/long term illnesses... www.imt.ie/opinion/shei...
