@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill @taylorpartdeux I don't know what the answer is, but I still think you can build a trusted movement by starting small...

@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill @taylorpartdeux That's pretty much what's been happening the last 6 years. Like "choose your team" - it's really shitty. And disregarding the experience and knowledge of ppl here long before. It's also a result of the way social media is set up.

they de-activated bc they're a coward but y'all should know that @linds_longcovid is a massive bigot & racist spouting nazi shit

@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill @taylorpartdeux As in "real life" the answer always ends up being to keep your circle small.

@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill I think people see a lot and choose not to do anything unless it impacts them directly. I also understand that most don't have the energy to speak up, but it takes nothing to unfollow. Most of the ppl that would speak up have now stepped away (@taylorpartdeux 👋)

@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill (The ppl who rant about & disparage ME are not subtle but plenty of ppl seem fine with it). I'm sorry you had to deal with that b.s.

@nonbinartree @onbeing_ill Most of the time it's subtle but I am like a hawk eye for that stuff. I have zero tolerance where others tend to be like "they were nice to me". Nope - that gives me an insight into your values and I don't want anything to do with you.

@onbeing_ill @nonbinartree I know cognitive dysfunction is amongst us! - unfortunately I have a very long memory for people that have posted shitty things. It's one of the reasons I've stepped back because it drives me nuts seeing pwME interacting with toxic people inc. ppl who talk shit about ME.

@pzneedsrest @nonbinartree ooof, thanks for sharing. we had no clue she had a history of this until we shared it more widely

@onbeing_ill @nonbinartree Can vouch for it being not new. Unfollowed her a couple of years ago when I saw her posting awful stuff about Indian people with other Canadians. She was called out, promptly deleted her posts, and then a lot of people "forgot" about it.

@nonbinartree also important to note that it was explained to her very plainly that she’s fallen for nazi propaganda and she still deactivated. this is apparently not new behaviour from her, just something she got more bold with recently

@fungus_54 @AustRepublican @R_o_d_C I'm sure they shout "Australia First" Just not disabled Australians

@pzneedsrest @AustRepublican @R_o_d_C Seems to be his wacky argument. Obviously has no empathetic bone in his body.

The latest on Australians vs fossil fuel subsidies. $11.6 billion to help disabled Aussies is a “ballooning” cost that must be “reined in”. $10.8 billion tax break to give foreign mining companies cheap diesel “not the time” to cut. Pretty gross. Links below.

@fungus_54 @AustRepublican @R_o_d_C They think the rorts are the person needed their dog walked or help to be able to go out for a coffee. The NDIS shouldn't exist - and families should be wealthy enough to care 24/7 for their family members. Those without family can die.

@AustRepublican @pzneedsrest @R_o_d_C Who of us said to turn a blind eye to rorts?

@AustRepublican @fungus_54 @R_o_d_C Who do you think becomes disabled? Most disabilities are acquired, so many working people who "paid for all this". Regardless, all human beings are entitled to live a decent, dignified life. There is enough, but our priorities are wrong. Stop being so miserable.

@fungus_54 @pzneedsrest @R_o_d_C Australians already work over 100 days a year to just to pay tax How much of their work do you believe you are entitled to to pay for all of this?

@fungus_54 @AustRepublican @R_o_d_C I'm sure "Raz" has no problems with veterans making claims - as they should. Amazing how ppl fall for the O.N propaganda - as if we weren't funding these programs, the money would be going back into their pocket! The scheme isn't without fault but the contempt is misplaced.

@pzneedsrest @AustRepublican @R_o_d_C All quite reasonable one would think. Problem is you can't reason with the unreasonable.

@AustRepublican @fungus_54 @R_o_d_C The pet project of being able to live a normal life 😅 And no one is proposing "more is taken by force" - people want what is there to be properly allocated to programs and projects that benefit all Australians. That's the expectation of a tax paying citizen.

@fungus_54 @pzneedsrest @R_o_d_C The States uses force to take your money through taxation Now people are demanding more is taken by force to pay for every little pet project theyvhave

@AustRepublican @R_o_d_C And how do they do that - for free - if they have no income because they can't work because they are caring for their family member? It's a practical and logical issue. The level of ignorance from some people is extreme.

@pzneedsrest @R_o_d_C WTF, yes a family should look after their family FOR FREE Because they are FAMILY the level of entitlement from some people is extreme.

@AustRepublican @R_o_d_C If you expect families to take care of their disabled family members, taking them out of the workforce, then they need to be supported to do so. And for those without family - I guess you think they should just go and die somewhere. Disabled people pay tax too.

@pzneedsrest @R_o_d_C The way you justify stealing one person's money to give it to another is insane. It is not the Taxpayer responsibility to do what their family should be doing How much money do you want to take by force from people

@AustRepublican @R_o_d_C And why do you think a disabled person might need assistance to have their dog walked, or to go out for coffee? Do you think it might be because they are disabled? How many disabled people do you offer to help for free?

@R_o_d_C People rorting the system to walk dogs and have coffee when community groups exist Is not the same as farmers not paying fuel excise because their equipment doesn't use public roads

1. thread: #coronavirus and #MECFS We know that #MECFS can be triggered by a range of viral pathogens So it is likely that #coronavirus could trigger a worldwide spike in ME/CFS in the next 6-18 months @bmj_latest bmj.com/content/333/75…

@DocKeiser @TWestphalia "It takes time, commitment and consistency..." Can you be any more condescending? Perhaps stop creating content and publish your peer reviewed studies if you are so confident in your approach.

Yes. We see full recovery all the time. We see this overlap with a lot of autonomic disorders. It takes time, commitment and consistency- and we may pivot treatment when we hit a roadblock. This is why I create so much content- whether it's with us or another clinic, I just want to see people understand this from a different lens so they can get their lives back. I go live every Thursday night at 8pm EST on YouTube to teach and answer questions- would love to see you there!

Thoughtful, targeted rehabilitation grounded in objective findings, measurable outcomes, and research isn’t controversial — it’s responsible clinical care. After helping thousands of patients navigate complex neurological syndromes, one thing is clear: precision matters. I never said it didn't. #MECFS
