Got COVID Nov22. I still hope I'll wake up normal. Can't breathe or think properly, chest pains, joint pain, loss of feeling in fingers, eating is a struggle, constant headaches and tinnitus, exhausted always, barely living. #LongCovidAwarenessDay
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Convenience does not merely save effort. It can quietly remove competence. Cooking becomes delivery, navigation becomes an app, repair becomes replacement and memory becomes a platform. Dependency feels frictionless until the service changes its terms.
Nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live between believing things will get better and feeling like you just can't do this anymore. It's an emotional battle that never seems to stop.
One moment you're holding onto hope, and the next you're completely drained—feeling hopeful and defeated all in the same day.
Ways to say “I love you” to a chronically ill person:
“I researched your illness”
“I believe you”
“Of course I’ll just hang out with you on your couch”
Listen to the haunting silence of an ecosystem gradually dying out over half a century.
This acoustic profile captures the progressive erasure of birdsong, serving as a stark and alarming warning of catastrophic biodiversity loss. Listen closely to realize exactly what we have lost.
I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant
Normalize telling people how important they are to you not because they could leave at any moment, but because they're here now, and it's worth saying.
"SARS-CoV-2 infection has been linked to a wide spectrum of neurological complications, such as neuropathies, myopathies, MG and Guillain–Barré syndrome..
the focus [of the medical community] has shifted toward understanding the long-term autoimmune consequences triggered by the virus..
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder marked by fluctuating skeletal muscle weakness involving various muscle groups caused by the pathogenic action of specific autoantibodies, resulting in a reduction in functional acetylcholine receptors (AChR) and structural disruption of the neuromuscular junction..
A possible association between COVID-19 and new-onset MG has been proposed, as well as the occurrence of myasthenic crisis, respiratory failure, and higher mortality, potentially mediated by an exaggerated inflammatory response..
SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized by marked immune activation, which may contribute to loss of self-tolerance and [excessive] autoantibody production in susceptible individuals.."
I feel that many people are losing their self-tolerance in a broader sense.

We can’t pathologize people for being affected by this world. People are anxious because they’re paying attention. People are depressed because they’re stuck in systems that take away their hope and connection. People are angry because they should be.
The UK is like a football club sacking managers constantly because it's easier than admitting that you're just shit
Brexit and 14 years of the Tories completely screwed us and nobody from Burnham to Farage can fix it until we accept that we sold Xabi Alonso for Alberto Aquilani
