This is why the right wing has been trying to ban The Lorax from kids' bookshelves for well over a decade.

They want you to think that the thneeds that everyone needs are normal alongside the chopped-down forests and sludged rivers.

I have long covid, which I've also since had diagnosed as ME/CFS with PEMs. The NHS LC programme tells patients that GET (graded exercise therapy) is known to be bad for us, but then pushes us to slowly build up exercise goals, a little at a time, with pacing. So....like...they want us to gradually increase our exercise. It's GET with different branding and they can't understand why so many people remain so sick ffs.

But Labour's all "hey let's try giving unemployed disabled/sick people weight loss shots about it" so yeah, this bullshit is still core to the system.

And if you tell a HCW that exercise hurts you, if you explain your PEMs, they blame it on "deconditioning". Ummmm nope I didn't go from 100-200+ squats daily and aerobics 1-2 times per week to not being able to shower without being knocked out for days. Nobody gets that "deconditioned" overnight. It was covid.

But there again, hardly anyone in the UK qualifies for vaccines and the newly-announced private-pay ones are hard to find, schedule, and afford. Labour would rather take Lilly money to promote weight-loss jabs than provide actual-harm-preventing covid jabs.

Why have sensible health policy when you can pretend fat people broke the economy instead?

Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

literally fuck companies that don't want their employees to act "unprofessional" in front of customers. I'm at a five guys rn and the employees here are joking around calling orders back and forth to each other and saying things in weird voices and laughing with each other while they work. Someone just came in for their shift while I was waiting for my food and was greeted by the whole kitchen with a secret handshake lookin thing. It was so silly and cute I love seeing ppl have fun at work and I know my food's gonna be bomb bc the ppl there are having fun with each other. Let employees be people and friends and have fun what is the issue!!!!

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!
