I would say that identity/security is the reason most people are made to take off masks, like NYC mayor Eric Adams has told small businesses to do. As a bank, they have a right to ask me to identify myself for their security or whatever. However, they were unwilling to work with me on this whatsoever.

I would actually feel way safer doffing my mask in a properly ventilated setting, where there is far less risk. So the drive through interactive teller machine would have been the place I would have been fine with taking it off for a second to identify myself, because it's outside with nobody around in a fairly windy area. But that is the option they provide for people who don't want to take off their mask. It's not very logical.

If they had wanted to identify me they could have me like take off my mask outside and look at me through the window or something, it would not be hard to accommodate me and let me take it off in a ventilated place where it's safe is really the deal.

Instead of working with me on it they just went straight to lying to me telling me that unmasking had always been their policy and that they applied it equally to everyone. I hadn't been asked to take it off before, and I hadn't been asked by the same person when they helped me before.

They didn't notify me of this policy change in any way. The same hoods and sunglasses sign telling people to remove those items that had always been on the door was on the door, and I had always been happy to comply and take off my sunglasses or hood or both, not my mask, and they were always fine with that in the past.

The sign on the exterior facade telling people to remove hoods and sunglasses says nothing about masks. If they have that as a policy then they need to not be cowards about it and ban masks with their chest. They need to say it on the door just like it says hoods and sunglasses. The sign doesn't identify any other type of apparel, just those two. That's what I want them to do, if they are going to take this stance then they need to take it publicly and loudly. This is a very anti-mask place. I'm sure most of the local community would support them on it, and they probably won't even lose much business. But they need to say it openly, that's what I want from them. Make it crystal clear that they are engaged in #discrimination against the members of their credit union based on #health status and being #immuncompromised with #ChronicFatigue caused by #LongCOVID. If they will add to their signs that customers must remove their masks in the underventilated indoor setting of the bank branch interior in order to be served, I would be satisfied, because at least nobody else would have to go through the same refusal of service I experienced for trying to protect myself against #COVID19.

I am 100% anti-diet culture. Militantly. That is one of the many things that makes gastroparesis piss me off so much. Every time I have to buy something that is clearly marketed to dieters, a little piece of my soul dies.

Raise your hand if you crashed this week, or are teetering on the edge of a crash 🖐️. Maybe if we band together we can crash together and lighten the load.

"One of the people I spoke to said to me: 'Fatigue is profoundly anti-capitalistic.' It means that people cannot do the thing that we expect a lot of people to do, which is to push through, to keep at it, to show grit, and so on."

"Post-exertional malaise" symptoms progression tonight:

0-2 hours after getting home: utterly dead. can't move.

ongoing: feel physically sick. like we have a cold. but it's not a cold it's this crap, we pushed ourselves too hard.

it's now about 4 hours after we got home.

I wish more people (and doctors!) had a better understanding of ME/CFS.

The UK Government have launched a consultation into steps needed to improve the way the NHS treats patients with ME/CFS. They have set out 21 actions, from improving education and the language used by doctors to help with benefits and educating patients about services like care etc.

Casey Stoner provides health update on chronic fatigue issues.

“Stoner revealed he ‘caught Covid 3 times’ in late 2021, which he attributes to general weakness”

I'm looking for mutuals who are interested in #fitness and #exercise especially if they are also new or bad at it.

I mostly do #yoga #pilates and recently got into #LISS #cardio but aspire to higher-intensity workouts. I'm in my late 30s and deal with #depression and #ChronicFatigue

My other interests include reading, video games, cats, gardening, cooking, and baking.

Please note that I am a recipe developer and pastry chef, and not a weightloss account.

It's startling and validating and terrifying and awful to hear what I've been living with for fifteen years described as something that more and more people are suffering with and trying to overcome. Maybe science will finally start paying attention. Ed Yong writing about it is a big deal.
