For every woman in the #ME & #LC community on #InternationalWomensDay
Endless gratitude to every one of you for your courage, strength, compassion & resilience
We're suffering due to widespread medical misogyny &
our resistance will change how medicine treats women everywhere💙
I didn’t know it was #InternationalWomansDay #IWD today.
All I want is a safe home where I can be healthy again.

A dark blue graphic for International Women’s Day featuring a purple and blue gradient hand icon with a heart in the palm at the top. The word "WOMENS" is written in large block letters, with each letter containing a black-and-white photo of women. Below it, the word "Day" is written in pink script. At the bottom, pink text reads: "Diseases that mostly affect women – like Long Covid and ME – are still trivialised, psychologised, and dangerously underfunded. Medical misogyny isn’t a relic. It’s alive and well."
👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care.
♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.
Throwback: packing b4 landlord sold the property (homeless since Sept & on the street at end of Mar if we don't find something asap...!)

#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis anniversary. A weird virus changed my life forever 20+yrs ago today. So many years lost. Then 18 yr later I got #Covid 1/5. Organ damage.
I almost forgot.
Expectations low but I can’t have basics. Thought I’d escape abuse & be safe by now.

Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness.
The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
🆘 ONLY 25 DAYS UNTIL WE CAN NO LONGER STAY IN THIS MOTEL & I LOSE MY HOUSING VOUCHER AS WELL
I’m disabled & we’ve been homeless 5+ months & the clock is ticking…
Please share & if you know of any single-story rentals in this area, lmk:

A black and white photo of flowers in a vase on a table. The room is dark, and one table lamp lights the flowers and nearby objects like candles, a speaker, and artworks that hang on the wall.
If there are flowers in our house, I try to use the opportunity to photograph them. The light in my room is a big problem, and I can’t stay upright for long without my symptoms worsening. So, any close-up or macro work is usually out of the question.

Just over a year ago, I left my 25 year NHS career to dedicate my life to a group of patients who remain largely unseen and unheard by the NHS - people with severe #LongCOVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (#ME). 🧵

Every year, hundreds of disabled people die by filicide. In the last 5 years, over 548 people with disabilities have been murdered by their parents, relatives, or caregivers. These circumstances are not isolated. They are part of a cycle of harm where the disabled victim is vilified, and the murdering caregiver or relative is given sympathy and grace in the criminal legal system.
Purple background with black and white photo of people lighting candles: newdisabledsouth ••. NEW DISABLED SOUTH 3/3 MARCH 1ST IS DISABILITY DAY OF MOURNING Today is a day to honor and grieve the disabled people whose lives were taken by filicide. As we remember them, we also lean into community and care. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network offers a Disability Day of Mourning vigil locator and an Anti-Filicide Toolkit that can help you find gatherings near you and better understand how to challenge the narratives that devalue disabled lives.

Discussion of violence against disabled people, including filicide]
March 1st is Disability Day of Mourning, a day to remember those in our community who were murdered by family members, caregivers, or loved ones, this is known as filicide.
Filicide is deeper than the one-off instances of murder; it unpacks the pattern of violence that starts when a parent or caregiver murders their relative with a disability and continues in how these murders are reported, discussed, justified, excused, and replicated.
Today, we hold the collective grief, anger, and pain of all those impacted by filicide. We will never forget those who have been harmed, and we will continue fighting and advocating for justice, accountability, and transformation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hcna5ngafyx3bmh4ky27nj6h/bafkreih7llehhj4c4eh45np4xuf5iugidsxo3ax25eybzg3hohlr7gu3xy)

Damn… I did notice your account from IG was gone. That’s devastating.
You have supported so many of us, me included, on social media. I’m sure there are plenty of people who will support you if you start over.
I wish there would be a way to get your old one back.
Feeling very blue. After Twitter became X I lost all my audience there. I dedicated time to Instagram, built it back up to over 10k. Now I've been hacked, as a result ALL my following is gone, all my contacts, all my friends, no Threads, Facebook or Instagram. About 500k of views a week.
Awww that is very caring and kind 💙 we all deserve that.
Thanks! ✌🏻
A black and white photo of Niko’s mother about to open his bedroom’s blackout curtain. The room is still dark and a single ray of sunshine makes a stripe pattern that lights part of his mother.
Every morning, my mother comes to my room and opens my curtains. I can’t do it myself as I’m 99% bedbound due to severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).
During the winter months, the rays of the morning sun reach my room from the other side of the house.

The amount of pressure from the right side of ME/CFS is really building in Norway right now.
There’s a high-profile case regarding welfare for ME patients, New Guidelines in the work and a lot of people are rallying with what little energy they got.
I smell CHANGE in the atmosphere!!

There's an update on Savannah's gfm. TW so much medical abuse.
Please keep sharing and donating!
By trying to find somewhere less unsafe, she has now lost her NHS provided carers. She's too unwell to do without, so needs to self fund them.
Thank you 🙏🏻
#SaveSavannah #SevereMErgency #ME/CFS
Update:
Feeling unsafe Savannah self-discharged & left QEH in a private ambulance. Even with the CEO of a national charity advocating in person, Guy’s refused to admit her. After waiting over two hours in the ambulance, she was forced to return to QEH.

Ahhh that is so shitty 😩 I’m so sorry. It’s the main thing for many to raise funds.
I’ll send you a DM here!
#SaveSavannah #SevereMErgency
#pwME please repost and boost the below. Nobody is willing to intervene. The health minister must step in and prevent a tragedy
@ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social
Your words “these must become never events”
PLEASE INTERVENE TO SAVE LIFE
Savannah has not eaten for 9 weeks. There are no NHS services for severe ME - 7 months since publication of the Delivery Plan for ME/CFS

Yes, I did sent you a DM on Instagram last year!
But in short we have a form on our website for applying to be featured.
Once we agree to feature you, you would need to fill two forms with all the needed information.
Can I DM you here so we can discuss this some more?
We hope you will enjoy our updated gallery!
