Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

Genuinely never realized why the pity response to disability is so uncomfortable, even frustrating, until I realized: it's because "ohhh how sad!" is about the listener.

"By telling me that, you've made ME sad."

It centers the listener, and even sounds accusative: you've burdened them. By existing

Jean DessΓ¨s originally began to study law as a future career but in 1925 he abandoned the legal path and turned to fashion instead. Mid century design was all the richer for his decision, full of chiffon, pleats and epic drapery, #1950s @christiesinc.bsky.social #FashionHistory πŸ—ƒοΈπŸͺ‘

I've been masking since 2020 and haven't gotten sick.
At all.
With anything.

As a person who was chronically ill before covid, I should've always been masking.

Now that I know what it feels like to not be sick every 2 months, why would I stop?
