@tricialockwood.bsky.social really interesting to read about your long covid experience, and attempted remedy with mushrooms. You might find the below paper interesting, it is part of the basis for a grant funding application i am working on with Cambridge for a psychedelics and long covid trial

A great article from Syed, well worth reading

often, i find that it is the people who complain when anyone brings up the issue of antisemitism who are the most problematic. Ed isn't saying that in his question. the question he asked before was on stopping what's happening in Gaza, so clearly calling for an end to AS hasn't stopped him

when did i say that? the IHRA definition of antisemitism specifically provides for legit criticism of israel. i criticise the israeli govt every day. but clearly, there is a broader problem that a large group of people are not able to do so, as reflected in many stats

You may think of the CST as a political org. Jews in the community rely on it to protect synagogues on a weekly basis from terrorist threat, and the vast majority would not consider it political. CAAS is a different beast, who you may be thinking of

i'm frustrated, because no other minority would be required by progressives to justify that hate speech and action is being enacted against them (and have had to do so my whole life). And i'm referring to Govt statistics (which i don't have to hand), not the first straw man argument you could find

My second set has just come out. Thank you so much to all 30 of you who listened to the last one 🥰 you're making dreams come true (and having a great time whilst doing it)

It shouldn't be hard for you to find the official stats that show (prior to Oct 7th), Jews already faced the highest number of hate incidents per capita

No I can't, i'm disabled and i don't have the resources to educate you. If this was any other minority, the burden of proof would be on you. If you truly consider yourself progressive, go and do your own research

Excerpt from Cerebra.org report showing high levels of allegations of FII, more likely if parents are disabled and the harm it causes to families.

My understanding (I am not an expert on this subject) is that FII is extremely rare.

Yet allegations of FII are rife against families of children with disabilities. This issue particularly affects those with Long Covid and ME.

Worst antisemitism in UK for 40 years Home secretary promises to protect Jewish community as charity says many examples of abuse ‘celebrated’ the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack

Two things can be true at the same time - what’s going on in Gaza is terrible, and antisemitism is on the rise (not including pro-Palestinian protest). I regularly see people on both ‘sides’ deny one of these, and imho it increases division and makes it harder for rational voices to be heard

A quote graphic of Tim Farron MP saying: "At the heart of the sewage scandal is a regulatory system which has failed." "It's going to take more than a hose down to clean up the water industry." "Liberal Democrats will continue to campaign to replace Ofwat and clean up our waterways for good."

It'll take more than a hose down to clean up the water industry.

We will continue to campaign to replace Ofwat and clean up our waterways for good.

Art installation inspired by ME coming to Bristol and Glastonbury The Mirrorbox artwork plays messages recorded by people with conditions such as ME and long Covid.

Very moving installation. I really hope one day I am well enough to get to Glastonbury

Thank you @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social for your support - it means so much to patients across the UK

Great to see so many organisations coming together to promote the ME cause!

Now more than ever, it feels like we are united to achieve progress

This is a seismic day for ME and LC communities in the UK. Having the entire party's support behind our mission to ensure equitable funding for biomedical research dramatically shifts the overton window on this issue. Many, many thanks to @tessamunt.bsky.social and her team for their work on this

Thank you so much for sharing this ACV! I love the idea of your project

So proud to have played my part in this! Thank you @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social for your support

A pretend polaroid shows Emma Gore-Lloyd, Karen Hargrave and Oonagh Cousins posing for a photo holding a #ThereForME Christmas card. The image on the card shows the dark blue Christmas tree, decorated with sparkling fairy lights, baubles and a star on the top, in a snowy landscape against a starry backdrop. The design is in the #ThereForME colours.

This second image displays #ThereForME’s handwritten message. It reads “Thank you for all the support this year – it means the world to us! We’re thinking of you this Christmas. We’ll keep fighting for you in 2025. Lots of love. Karen, Emma, Oonagh”

It’s #ThereForME!

Our message: “Thank you for all the support this year – it means the world to us! We’re thinking of you this Christmas. We’ll keep fighting for you in 2025. Lots of love. Karen, Emma, Oonagh”
