The problem w Miranda Hart isnāt that she āovercameā her illness or that people are begrudging her. Itās that sheās on national television, telling everyone that she walked her way out of it. That echoes what garner and all the other bps people say. It can be harmful for a lot.

Miranda Hartās new memoir on chronic illness seems very well intentioned but this pseudoscience is worrying. If youāre writing a book after youāve recovered, thereās a particular responsibility to be accurate to readers who are desperate to recover too.
ALT Hart goes further. She writes of āthe clear scienceā linking chronic stress to the onset of long Covid, ME and chronic fatigue syndrome.Ā Yet the science on long Covid is very new and often divided. Hart says, of all these conditions, āthe cause and the solution are in the brainās heightened stress response.āĀ She leaves no room for dissent. Where has this assertion come from? Without careful citation of sources, as, say, one finds in Dr Chris van Tullekenās recentĀ Ultra Processed People, we have to take Hartās word for it.

If a woman wearing a āRelease the Epstein Filesā shirt makes you angry enough to join a group of men in beating the shit out of her, Iām going to assume youāre all fucking pedophiles too.

1/3 Too many shocking accounts of appalling treatment of patients with #ME continuing to emerge.
Despite some advances in recent years, the patient community has yet to change an entire culture. Until that happens, there will be little substantive change in attitudes/treatment...

In 1981 eight unimaginably brave souls put to sea in murderous conditions because a call went out. They sought neither reward nor praise. They were @RNLI and they were the best of their community. Support your local lifeboat

Wenn du mit einer Bekannten spazieren gehst, deren Tochter (18) ebenfalls an #mecfs erkrankt ist,
und das GesprƤch kreist darum, dass die Tochter assistierten Suizid beantragen mƶchte,
weil es KEINE Therapie und KEINE Perspektive gibt
ā dann ist die Welt grausam aus den Fugen.

UK government should have dons it years ago, but better late than never. Sanctions against illegal Isreali settlements R necessary 4 future peace. Enough murder/ethnic cleansing of innocent Palestinians by Violent Jewish Extremists.

The RNLI isn't subsidised by the taxpayer. Some people seem to be getting them mixed up with Eton, Harrow and Winchester.
Sim retweeted
So-called āpatriotsā are now trying to find the HOME ADDRESSES of @RNLI volunteers.
Read that again.
People who give up their time to launch into dangerous seas and save strangers are being personally targeted for doing it.
This isnāt patriotism. Itās intimidation.
