If you've not read the Rice Truck Saga, then settle down, this is a real treat.
If you have read it before, take a few minutes to reread as a distraction from *waves hands at everything*

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

But you know what "a creeper came and made you feel really uncomfortable and upset and gross, so I'm going to blame you and take away your access to all of your friends and your entire social support system" is? It's fucking rape culture right there, my friends.

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

I had a dream about fascism and woke up sobbing, so here’s a reminder that our bodies “keep the score” and contain within them enormous amounts of hidden stress and anxiety in times like these. Be kind to yourself, take mental health breaks, and adapt aggressive self care. We’re all so tired.

If there was just one thing I wish every healthy person could understand, it is this: ANYONE can get a chronic illness.
Illnesses like #MECFS & #LongCovid can happen to absolutely anyone, it doesn’t matter how healthy you are.
Chronic illness can happen to good people. It could happen to you.
