The severe stage, and its substages of very severe and extremely severe, are so serious that it’s either impossible or very hard and risky for those living with it to raise awareness for a single day or at all. We need more time and severe ME deserves that. 2/5

on the other hand i went looking for a discussion on @snowhydro.bsky.social 's book Meltdown which i am looking forward to reading [ melt-down.ca ] and as a bonus found a reflection by Richard Bohannon on his series of paintings, Atlas of Dead Birds www.terrain.org/2026/arterra...
![image of a painting by richard bohannon. description from article: [Bachman’s warbler, with Papa’s bow ties, Oil on wood panel, 12” x 12”.
Vermivora bachmanii (Bachman’s warbler). Last confirmed sighting in Louisiana, 1988.]
alt: overall field of lighting dim, dark background, highlight falling on the right foreground center, where there is a bachmans warbler perched on a slightly-open drawer of a wooden dresser: a small bird, yellow underside, black throat, brown back, and a black-brown-gray cap
on the left, midground center on an open shelf: a pair of bow ties. red-maroon with small white pattern on top of blue-grey with small white pattern.
quote by the artist from the article, "I have painted it alongside my grandfather’s two clip-on bow ties, out of fashion before I was born, which he wore to the fundamentalist church he faithfully attended."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:67uzrdi4segukgumlet42z2j/bafkreiafv7w7cwrk2o5twcny3ldzpgwhgyt55iesqauwztmtemlrw73gpe)
this was deliberately seeded by the heritage foundation and friends after obergefell. they specifically moved the goalposts because they’d lost on gay marriage. cis people buying this shit on its face is doing their work for them
want to address this one because it’s a common misconception. this whole thing is entirely astroturfed transphobia, and if “good faith” people bought it they never looked into the science (there is no physical advantage for trans girls over cis girls) or the fact that this was a settled matter
@chrisvls.bsky.social · 6d agodunno. there's a difference between public performative political discourse and personal views... yes, the campaigners are all bad faith, but I certainly know cis parents with gay kids who do in fact see tough issues in girls sports but give no quarter on passports, ids, jobs, bathrooms, violence...

WIFE: (MFA from RISD) I thought a lot of her points were astute, even if her obvious bias for classics made a poor replacement for film criticism specifically, you know? ME: (just found out only yesterday that flies aren't food) I don't feel good. I can still feel some of them moving inside of me.
the oarfish reveal in animal crossing literally made me jump every time; that's why i won't be clicking on this video
