10: the ongoing, unmitigated pandemic

Rory @roryreckons.bsky.social · 7m

I spent a long time working out why I was depressed - one of the central premises of the book is asking the question - "what is your depression telling you?"

Correcting these core issues of mentioned below was how I pulled myself out of the depths. [Aside from the last one].

An image titled “The Nine Causes of Depression & Anxiety” by Johann Hari from Lost Connections. The list includes:

Disconnection from meaningful work

Disconnection from other people

Disconnection from meaningful values

Disconnection from childhood trauma

Disconnection from status and respect

Disconnection from the natural world

Disconnection from a hopeful or secure future

Brain changes (neurons that fire together, wire together)

Genetics (potentials activated by the environment).
Below the list is a quote: “What if depression is, in fact, a form of grief—for our own lives not being as they should? What if it is a form of grief for the connections we have lost, yet still need?” — Johann Hari.
The background shows a misty, grey landscape with bare trees and a foggy sky.

If you agree that Israel is committing genocide, you should loudly condemn organizations raising money for Israel. That includes churches and synagogues. Period.

"why should i worry about covid it only kills 3% of people"
First of all. Eugenicsist
Second, if you end up in hospital, because of lack of mitigations, that jumps to 10-15% of people. Wear a fucking mask
