  2. Corral de locos, Francisco Goya

    One of the paintings of the insides of madhouses by Goya that are really good. He was mentally ill in his lifetime and I think it comes across, I know it comes across, some of his art is dark on the inside, haha. I love them and I wouldn't want copies on the wall here. But they let you know you're not alone if you're having a bad day. Oh holy Buddha keep me out of the dark places inside ❤️ If you're alive you're never alone

  3. Has anyone checked the Polymarket movements in relation to these sickness reports? Wouldn't be surprised if poisoning players is used for market manipulation.

  4. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: But there are more disorders of the mind than of the body, and they are of a more dangerous nature.

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

  5. disabilitynewsservice.com/tori. OF COURSE the #Tories are refusing to release any details of this so-called "review" of theirs! What they're intending is massive, wholly unjustified & unjustifiable CUTS to #sickness & #disability #benefits, that will leave #sick & #disabled #people unable to LIVE! They couldn't get away with herding us all into gas chambers, so that's their preferred substitute policy.

  6. When declining to commit to permanently scrapping the controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" #MAGASlushFund, #Trump claims he doesn’t know if the $1.8 billion fund is dead, & calls it ‘a beautiful thing’

  9. For anyone nervious or with health anxiety: youtube.com/watch?v=XMSv3zTFF1Y. It's Rebecca Watson's video, "No, Hantavirus is Not the Next Pandemic".

    Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

    Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

    Do managers want:

    Only ONE person this week out sick?
    Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

  10. Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
    Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
    Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.

  11. "Historians will tell you the Black Death spread through fleas, through rats, through trade routes that carried more than goods between cities.

    They will tell you it moved quickly, that it devastated populations, that entire households could fall within days.

    They will not tell you how people knew it had already begun.

    Not officially."

    Then the illness had already taken hold." #blackplague #horror #rats #plague #sickness #epidemic #thebutcheredwriterssubstack

  12. Uncomfortable truths!!

  13. Ah, yes, the riveting saga of a bus journey from Lima to Rio de Janeiro in 2025. Because who wouldn't want to spend an eternity on a bus traversing the scenic wonders of insomnia and questionable rest stops? 🚌💤 Thanks, but we'll pass on the chance to relive this epic tale of leg cramps and #motion #sickness. 🤣

  14. At long last!
    #Trump brings #healthcare to #Greenland!

    “Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It’s on the way!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
