"There are so many ways that an #illness or #disability can fluctuate, so many ways that the effects of such can change. But when you do have a #fluctuatingillness or disability, it often comes with many of the same pitfalls of a #hiddendisability. Judgement from those uneducated in the realities of disability, high expectations that are realistically beyond your capabilities, assumptions from others."

A quotation from Chamfort, Nicolas:

«
Life is a disease temporarily relieved every sixteen hours, by sleep. The complete cure: death.
[Vivre est une maladie dont le sommeil nous soulage toutes les seize heures. C’est un palliatif. La Mort est le remède.]

Ticks are becoming a growing health risk in the UK – here’s why

#ClimateChange undoubtedly has had a huge impact on tick infestations

This has been particularly noticeable in colder regions, such as in parts of Canada where ticks had not previously been recorded. In the UK recent milder winters mean ticks are being sighted earlier in the year than normal

I want to offer a word of hope to those with #chronic #illness especially #sensory noise / dysfunction & #pain.
I never thought it would happen, but I'm enjoying some old activities again. For the first time in years, there has been an ecstatic experience of nature; severe #tinnitus, #visualsnow & pain seemed swallowed up in a larger picture, & my mind could appreciate external beauty. I thought such an experience was lost forever, but the seemingly impossible happened, and soberly. Keep going!

Before #pandemic, the number of workers not at work due to #illness was around 1mio people every month. When #pandemic began, this number jumped to 1.5mio. But over the past 6-months, it has declined back to 1mio, chart Torsten Sløk @apolloglobal

It's a normal day, Mira and Elena spend some time together, when Mira starts to worry about Nera.
She hasn't seen Nera for some time and fears the worst.
Nera recently hasn't always be as happy as she seems.

We once asked how we can make "#prevention" as sexy as a "cure". We worked it out a few days ago.

Its all in the words themselves!

The words 'prevent' and 'avoid' are not sexy. The word '#cure' is sexy.

Thus we would like to present on this 4th day of August, a new word. Are you ready for it?

*drumroll

Ture — noun. A sexy word for prevention of an #illness or #disease.

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-o&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion

Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.

Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.

One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”

Hi everyone. I'm still trying to get back on my feet after two months of missed work due to #illness last year that nearly ended my life. If you could donate or at least share the #GoFundMe link I would really appreciate it.
