I don’t think people talk enough about the fatigue that comes with chronic pain. Not only directly, because living with pain is exhausting, but indirectly as well. Like the fact that any time I am moving I have to be monitoring myself. If I get distracted (which, surprise, happens a lot when I’m pain fogged) then I can very easily hurt myself by holding my body incorrectly. I have to think of how I want to hold my body every time I sit, stand up, or walk. Not only am I dealing with my brain endlessly complaining about pain, but I have to protect my body from the clumsy movement of everyday life. It is tired.

Then add meds! And the 10 appointments I need to make! And the 50 messages I need to answer! By the end of the day I’m exhausted, and there is still usually something important I’ve managed to forget. Just because my life may look simple to you doesn’t mean it is easy for me.

for real once you realize that you can actually wear whatever you want and call yourself whatever name and pronouns you want and have whatever interests you want and be whatever gender you want your life gets so much better and more fun

It’s always fun to be reminded how recent European national identities are. Peasants in 1860’s Sicily had never heard the term “Italy” before, the majority of people in France didn’t speak French at the time of the French Revolution, etc.

90% of people killed in drone strikes were not the intended target

The whistleblower who revealed it was sentenced to ~4yrs in prison

War criminals who continue bombing innocent lives are rewarded

“We wouldn’t have to deal with the Delta variant if it weren’t for a bunch of uneducated people refusing to get their vaccine”

No, we would still have had to deal with the Delta variant, because neither Trump nor Biden showed any interest in distributing US vaccine stockpiles internationally during the early months when it could have had the greatest impact in dampening Delta’s spread throughout India. Public health experts explicitly warned policymakers at the time that this vaccine nationalism would enable the global spread of variants. But this explanation doesn’t let anyone in America feel superior to anyone else, so it won’t catch on
