Writing about chronic illness and disability from my book. Published and live now ❤️

I lost track but I think Yaz Ryan has a pair of assists in addition to the hat trick of goals? Bless #gothamfc

Jk, I think she made it 3 assists while I was typing that lol

I hope Jamaica continues investing in Frazsiers Whip and finally puts serious money into their women’s national team. I’d love to see them in a future iteration of this tournament #concacafw #wchampionscup

‘Tis a gift 🙏🏼💜

I will say it again: way back with OG Omicron the rapid tests gave back 67% false negatives for six days after symptoms appear. It’s worse now. People test once when symptoms start, get a false negative and never test again. It’s not a “mysterious bug” it’s Covid as always.

I hope Natalia Kuikka will be okay, because she certainly doesn’t look okay #withthestars #nwsl

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.

14:02 of first half stoppage time, totally normal #nwsl

I was thinking about how one of the losses with ME/CFS is the loss of good tiredness. The feeling after a long hike, or a day working hard gardening, or a good gym workout. When you may feel tired or even exhausted but in a warmly satisfied way.

Esther said “I didn’t score in the 13 goal win on Wednesday and that’s not okay”

This is also eugenics. Your liberation is tied up with mine. Incarcerated individuals are still PEOPLE. And because our “justice system” is not just, many innocent humans are in prison. When society decides that it is acceptable to exterminate any group of people there is NO LINE

“My mother made that” youtu.be/Drke584WArA?si…

“So, I’ll do that” 🧊🧊

the entire trajectory of my life is grounded in the reality that two infections were NOT the same as one

I also wonder about this

October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month. Let’s talk about POTS and things you may not know. A thread: • Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome affects the entire body • Heart rate that jumps by 30+ when standing, fainting, pre-syncope, dizziness, blurred vision

“When they say in sickness & health - they mean THEIR sickness & THEIR health.” Great video about how many men leave, neglect or harm their wives when they become ill. Telling these stories helps women know they’re not alone. This is a patriarchy issue - not a one off.

I really wish lazy news orgs were making this clear in every report. I cringe every time I hear a reporter say "COVID tests" were sent.
