@buggirl200 I’m not attached to my cane, most of my day I don’t even use it because I’m only walking short distances. I use it while I’m out for stability, but god forbid a lightweight forgets to grab it after a margarita (with a kicker) at the Texas Roadhouse…
@ThisIsDaveMaher I have POTS, they’re not saying you can “fix it with your mind” but you need good mental health to improve your physical health. POTS is exacerbated by stress and anxiety, so your symptoms will be worse if you’re stressed and anxious about your physical health all the time.

@notwhoraxxx Imo the biggest issues with the comparison is it downplays medical racism by conflating it with ableism, ignores the intersection of medical racism and ableism, and entirely disregards ableism in policing. Also medical and law enforcement systems often weaponize the other anyway.
@poppy_haze Chronic illness is a magnet for pseudoscience bs because it’s so hard for people to accept that, until more research is done, all you can do is manage symptoms. I think it’s even worse for those disabled by Covid complications because of the trauma of it having been a pandemic.
Type of analogy that only remotely makes sense if you act like 4tran spaces are only about “coping by SELF-hating”, and completely ignore that people also negatively target and harass OTHER trans people on the regular. 🫠
@235antz@veteran_hater00 I’ve never engaged in any disability spaces for advice and got to the shower chair conclusion. We are at a point where you can find all this info by reading medical advice online, I would never just trust info from someone who happens to have the same condition I do.
I’m so excited to vote for yet another moderate SC Democratic candidate. Our state Democratic Party is so great, I almost wish I was voting for the electric Jaime Harrison once more.
Surely this poll is accurate and they won’t fail miserably again. Let’s go Dr. Annie Andrews…

@BloofBloofBloof@magne_toes Mine was like that until I got really sick with mono for a year, had to stop exercising, and now when I get too hot I feel so ill I can barely function. So it definitely can get worse lol
@21390810929a@CinemaPrincipia@Brennanator Morality in media is the central theme of the movie, it’s entirely uninterested in being straightforward with its message, you have to engage with the subtext. Putting predators away is good, but it specifically uses the trauma of Decoy Dan to ask did the ends justify the means.
PRIMETIME is probably the quickest way to media literacy test someone in 2026. if you genuinely believe the true message of the film is pedophiles are good and chris hansen is worse than them… you will fall for any kind of propaganda placed in front of you.
@transspiritsoul@awgaffney I’m apart of the unlucky predisposed minority that had severe complications from EBV and I hate the complete separation of Long Covid. They really play up post viral complications like some world ending phenomena and not just another under researched, mundane chronic illness.
Feeling a really strong hatred towards the term “Long Covid” recently. It’s an incredibly bad name that implies a continuous infection. It makes people think what they’re experiencing is new and unique, when millions of others have gone through post viral complications, like me.
@Victoriantaddeo@PJ11819211 The thing is it’s not new or unexpected. I was disabled by EBV, millions of others were disabled by various viruses that aren’t Covid. The Long Covid advocacy disregards these experiences and creates a separate category that obfuscates the issue of post viral complications.
@EndoranVanguard@Just_Opinions26@suburbansjw@PJ11819211 I think the pandemic was just so traumatizing that it’s broken people’s brains into hyperfixating on just Covid. I feel insane when people describe my exact experience like it’s a novel and unexpected issue. It’s a weirdly isolating thing.
@nekomini10@PJ11819211 Severe post viral complications from EBV here, I just despise the separation of Covid victims from those of us who have already been suffering and the subsect who say batshit insane things like Covid = AIDS. I wish people would push for more general awareness of viral infections.
@Just_Opinions26@EndoranVanguard@suburbansjw@PJ11819211 I had bad post viral complications from mono, I still haven’t recovered seven years later. The impacts of COVID are not unique, why should its victims be separated from the rest of us?
@Gryffix@birdietoshi@PanderShirts I mean the OP is about covid, so the implication is denying long covid is denying ME/CFS. My only objection is treating long covid as uniquely bad compared to other post viral syndromes, it’s just disingenuous from my POV.
