Behind this face lies genuine weariness, an illness that weakens the body day after day, and a heart burdened by anxiety about everything happening around us.

If you cannot donate, there is something very simple you can do:
Just leave a dot.

Genuinely astonishing how clueless The Times when it comes to everything about DIYing - in particular the scale at which it is happening. Literally, what did they expect? People can't stop being trans.

Streeting must know - but his preference is that trans people die in private not live in public.

Doctors fear young at risk from โ€˜black-market trans hormonesโ€™ Medics call for an urgent investigation into trans community groups offering support on accessing supplies for self-medication

Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.

What did you think would happen?

โ€œYou should all just work hard so your bosses can buy more homes and build their futures while you rent from them, but also all of your problems are because of immigrantsโ€ - genuinely the message being sold to everyone by political parties and the media.

Blyth ex-GP says long Covid patients are being forgotten The NHS in the North East and Cumbria is closing its last dedicated long Covid clinics this month.

A doctor whose career ended after getting the virus says long Covid patients are being forgotten

6 years on there are "hundreds of thousands of people" in the UK with significant long Covid who could not work and were "not acknowledged," she says

Three-panel meme showing a woman speaking and a man listening from behind a wall. In the first panel, she says โ€œMasks donโ€™t work,โ€ and the man replies โ€œBe honest.โ€ In the second, she says โ€œI donโ€™t want to wear one,โ€ and he again says โ€œBe honest.โ€ In the final panel, she says โ€œI just donโ€™t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,โ€ and the man responds, โ€œThank you.โ€

This is what it really comes down to.

Masks are a reminder the pandemic isnโ€™t over.

๐Ÿ”นCOVID is airborne
๐Ÿ”นEach infection carries cumulative risk
๐Ÿ”นLong COVID has no cure
๐Ÿ”นThe pandemic isnโ€™t over
๐Ÿ”นWearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others

Stay informed. Stay safe.

Many of you need to ask WHY they're doing this. And to recognize how western culture has too often, all too often, used the OTHER scapegoat to deflect from their evils and to create cohesion out of fear and hatred. And how toxic that is, and continues to be.

It also only works short term.

No harm to children is my litmus test.

No hemming and hawing.

No saying a 15yo is different from a 5yo to justify child sex trafficking.

No โ€œthey were already sickโ€ to justify their starvation and denial of medical care.

No โ€œtheir leader was badโ€ to justify their deaths.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentโ€™s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

I saw a comment the said we arenโ€™t โ€œangry enough.โ€ But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We donโ€™t need more anger. We need more direction.

Maybe itโ€™s because Iโ€™m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: โ€˜your leaders arenโ€™t right for you,โ€™ โ€˜weโ€™re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own goodโ€™

Great Thunberg put her finger on when she described the underlying problem of the Western establishment being racism. These are people who have a racial and class defined hierarchy of value and Muslims, Arabs and Africans don't figure in it. 150 dead Western domestic pets would get more attention.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

My partner's fibro has gotten wildly worse since COVID. We get the softest, most seam free clothes, and modify them, and even those are too painful to wear a lot of days.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to go about life when clothes feel like they are burning your skin off?

"Israelis are fleeing Tel Aviv." Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
