ascribing cult-like behavior to people, many who are disabled, who have no desire to risk debility/illness from nonessential activities when ample options exist outside bars/restaurants to be safely in community with people reveals both a profound lack of imagination and a desiccated set of values.
I don’t know, I thought after Long Covid effectively ended my chance at a directing career, ruined my health, my energy, my ability to eat a lot of foods, and my body, it would seem pretty obvious why I don’t want to get it again, even going so far as to sacrifice (the horror!) bars and restaurants.

this is one overview on why increased physical activity is not safe in ME/CFS. you can't safely undergo activity when your body will start slowly disintegrating if you go over some unknown activity threshold (that we currently have no way to measure).
a self-perpetuating cycle that includes damage to the mitochondria and necrosis (cell death) of muscle tissue.

![Several mechanisms triggered by an infection can result in circulatory disturbance and hypoperfusion of muscles including autoantibodies [41], inflammation [22], sympathetic overactivity [10], endothelial dysfunction [42], impaired red blood cell deformability [43] and diminished preload [10]. Upon exertion, hypoperfusion of skeletal muscles leads to rise in protons, intracellular sodium and calcium [12], muscle necrosis [9], mitochondrial damage and enhanced production of reactive oxygens [13, 22]. In ME/CFS, the activation of the sodium pump (Na+/K+‐ATPase) upon exertion may be diminished due to low ATP and dysfunctional ß2AdR and CGRP. At a certain level of intracellular sodium, the sodium‐calcium‐exchanger NCX changes its transport mode from calcium export to calcium import causing calcium overload that causes mitochondrial and myocyte damage. As a result, low ATP and ROS production further impair the sodium pump. ROS also impairs vascular function and perfusion. A vicious circle arises.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kxlg4ooqbhefhfa4gv373dtm/bafkreifycc6dml5ny5hliatsgyru3emlhjrfn3erh3luyzj72obceooag4@jpeg)

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.
She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.
All charges against her have been dropped.
In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

the future is upgraded HVAC, but the interim solution (for indoor transmission of airborne illness) is this
A Brooklyn-based collective, Artists in Resistance (A.I.R.) NYC, is not only committed to hosting COVID-safer art and music events from borough to borough, but also ensuring that anybody can do so for free.
How an Air Purifier Can Make Your Art Event Safer
The Brooklyn collective A.I.R. loans out the devices under the tenet that “illness need not be the price of living in community or participating in the arts.”

amazing work from rockstar lmao, firing 31 workers for union busting and then delaying their stupid game. nice one fuckwits www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
Rockstar faces legal action from UK union after firing more than 30 employees last week: 'We are confident that what we’ve seen here is plain and simple union busting'
The IWGB union says Rockstar has refused to meet with it to negotiate, so it's time to get the courts involved.

Learned last night that Rockstar Edinburgh, Lincoln and Dundee were all caught in the union-busting layoffs, but thankfully the more senior staff are speaking out against it internally with others checking out work early. Now the issue is being raised in parliament.
Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

If you are thinking "it isn't fair that they have a 4 day work week and I don't" you are right! Fix that problem by forming a union and bargaining for what you need.
WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

this is also something i learned in the last week!!!! most food pantries can get crazy good deals on bulk goods and produce, so donating money directly goes a lot further than bringing in a few cans <3
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"
