This is a legitimately fine poem. I say so with my BA in English and Philosophy and my PhD. It’s DAMN HARD to write something like this. Be impressed, yo.
Mr. Fox, sir, I won’t do it. I can’t say it. I won’t chew it.
Thank you W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan for my ability to cold-read this at high speed
please sign and spread this. the situation for CFS/ME patients in the UK is a nightmare. the clinics are run by psychiatrists. CBT is a frontline “treatment,” along with graded exercise which has been proven to make us worse. i don’t get any treatment or help and i know i’m not alone in that.
Just a little more about that, including the bad science getting used to justify some really abusive-sounding “treatments”. The situation isn’t great elsewhere, but it is just awful here from everything I have seen.
i know the trope where all the guys on the Bad Guy Side hate each other and constantly plot each other’s downfall really cliche, but honestly, this is amazing and i’m loving it
I keep seeing people claiming that these days people don’t know how to carry on conversations or even how to socialize face to face (because of smartphones and the internets! or something), and I just want to ask, Where is this mythical world where people don’t know how to carry on conversations or socialize in general? Because all I’m seeing is a world where most people seem to know instinctively how to do these things and where they continue to mistreat neurodivergent people like me for having trouble doing these things.
(I think I may have posted about this subject before, but I just felt like talking about it again. Because it’s something I see a lot and it really annoys me.)
I’m pretty sure that it’s another iteration of abled people baselessly thinking that technology, especially assistive technology (social media is assistive tech for us), is bad.
