Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

If you’ve been noticing more and more ableist content online like I have, this could explain it.

Depressing. Not shocking though

All is not lost friend. Believe it or not there are people in the US who care about this shit and are actively fighting it (and by extension, you)

When things seem to be at their darkest, look for the candles lit by your fellow man and help them to light more.

It’s always darkest before dawn.

Hey, thank you. Really needed to hear this today.

We've known certain personalities have been russian shills for a while. What's new is that we now know they're PAID russian shills.

Though, if Tim pool is to be believed, they didn't influence his content at all. That means he would suck putin's cock for free which is worse.

True. I guess it's a bit heartening to have concrete and widely known proof that the huge uptick in shitty attitudes toward certain groups has not been completely organic? Some people might think a bit more critically, maybe, with luck? These people are doing a bit for likes and money, they should be way more embarrassed than they are.
