Much of what trump and the right are doing only makes sense when viewed in this way. It’s all slight of hand so that can pilfer whilst the rest of us burn

I’ve always assumed mine is post viral (Ross river, Epstein Barr) but I haven’t done many of the tests on your list. Tick borne is quite possible too despite lymes not officially exiting in Australia

Lots to take in here. Approach to the illness by doctors over the years has been scattergun. I have had an mri, but no idea if they were looking for ms. I have appt with me specialist gp in October. I guess I should start collating the tests I have had over the years.

My #mecfs peeps. How can we separate effective treatments for Mecfs from snake oil? I am bombarded by ads. People who have had it and will cure you with the 10 step nasal kale insertion program. Or supplements that are so expensive I suspect people get better just to get their moneys worth

Labour are awful. Jeremy Corbyn was a hopeless labour leader, and must shoulder some of the blame for brexit, but if I was over there still I’d be with the 400,000 people that have joined- because there is no representation for working people, and zero “progress”

Part of the reason I haven’t been using blue sky much is that there’s no one I know in the real world on here. I’ve had an idea about a social network that has this real world connection at its heart. Do you feel like there is community here?

The other part of the fucking word limit I’m adhd ffs

Almost said hi to round faced chap in a cafe in Sydney who I must know because by he’s so familiar… George Lucas. He must know how that plays out on peoples faces very well

Murray Watt’s climate masterclass: How to destroy the planet while pretending to save it Watt’s North West Shelf approval exposes the deeper dysfunction at the heart of Australian environmental governance: where the laws are weak, the incentives perverse, and real power lies with…

Meet Murray Watt, Aust’s new environment minister. His 1st major act? Approving one of the most polluting fossil fuel projects in the nation’s history –shattering any pretence of climate leadership from a government elected, in part, on that very promise #auspol

Thanks Babs, yep I'd not noticed those tabs, just getting my head round it now

I've followed a few things but I'm not sure what a starter package is 🤔

Where be my #mecfs peeps on bluesky? Wondering if I should devote some of my energy to raising awareness and being more out about it, or if it will make people think it's all I bang on about.

This one’s for you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

A whole new meaning to onlyfans :)

Not as many as x. Post written before meta announced their bot plans 🙄

@elektrassunny.bsky.social I'm your biggest (only, so far) fan 🤩

"History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce"

I think Karl Marx got it the wrong way round

Limiting posts to 300 characters: isn't this making us all think in soundbites? Don't shades of grey need longer form? Sure, where the issue is binary: but I dunno I'm sick of the wham bam thank you mam. As I get older I need a bit build up in my social media intercourse. Otherwise it over too qui

#bluesky when not bad is brilliant 😆

His purpose is to distract (from the large and small ways the 1% are fucking us). So no, we should all follow suit.

We have PR, but are still mirred in 2 party politics. I've been wondering how uncommon this is in countries with proportional representation, and about the forces that keep the status quo and how they benefit.

Who should I follow for insights?

I can't hear MP3s vs wavs, but I swear I can hear this fingerprint in ai music. I've not heard anything that doesn't clearly have that AI vibe

Idea: six degrees social network. A virtual network comprised of cells of real people who know each other that monitors the continued existence of real human beings by encouraging you to interact with them in reality.

Donald Trump. I want to see how he's talked about in 100 years. I want to hear kids being bemused and asking robo teach to clarify that he was helped by foreign powers, tried to steal an election, found guilty and was prosecuted for these things and others, and everyone went "yep, he's a keeper"

Remember learning history as a kid, and you'd hear something that was totally nuts? Like witch trials, or idulgences or...

This seems like a suitable 2nd post on bluesky. I salute @bennjordan.bsky.social

I think we need to arm ourselves with the skills needed to navigate the enshittified internet. This video outlines the scope of the problem....

I have no idea what I'm doing here. And also on bluesky
