I spent 72 hours checking the posting times of every Gazan account I saw fundraising. More than 2/3 of them were inconsistent with Gaza but consistent with Myanmar or Cambodia, where hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into doing scam work under threat of violence or death.
and before you get hot under the collar about that statement:
it's 4AM in Gaza right now and I am watching two separate accounts post their gofundme in somebody's thread every 10 seconds.
as @rahaeli.bsky.social notes: it's 9AM in Southeast Asia, though.
people are being had. I'm sorry.

Startled awake at midnight to a very loud BEEP in my head. Dunno WHAT I did to my left ankle in my sleep.
But at least when I turned my drink bottle upside down over the bed in the dark, it was fully closed.

I work with kids ages 2-6. When the garbage truck goes by, everything in the school stops for a minute.
Imagine the chaos if the kids knew the truck was named Chicken Nugget, and they helped name it that.

Sweater in progress tonight! Feels like I am on the back end of this infection, whatever it was.
This is funded by teacher appreciation gift cards from the parents of the little ones I help care for. It's a special project for me! #knitsky

I had a nightmare that my beloved Call the Midwife did some horrible crossover with the terf's wizard school franchise.

Today's task that was stupidly too much:
All the kids' work is placed in a basket when finished. I lift the paper out of the basket. I place it somewhere in a circle around me. I lift another paper out of the basket...

Cross stitch takes a lot of mental effort sometimes, on top of the fine motor coordination. CFS has kept me from working on this for months, but today I got in 250 stitches!
It "helps" that the elevators in my apartment are down so I'm housebound, and couldn't do the necessary errand today.

"Can you see it now?" This is a very striking illustration of how #mecfs #neurocovid #longcovid patients feel every second of their lives. Reward comes of being gaslighted by the others, including their own families.

I saw someone post about a Canadian healthcare worker immigration initiative and had to go dig up what their disability bar is out of morbid curiousity. $27k/year. If they think you'll cost their health and human services $27k/year, you're medically inadmissible.
I am begging people who are pushing emigration as a solution to All This to remember that disability is disqualifying for immigration in every single developed country in the world even if it is only unofficially so

On the one hand, i'm trying to return to work tomorrow after being sick with RSV for a week.
On the other hand, my resting HR is 97 and I'm barely catching my breath.
