There has been a lot of talk on Twitter lately about the difficulties in applying for DSP &/or NDIS (see quoted thread below). Yesterday @AllergyWhispers & I were talking about this article of mine wherein I talk about states of health and society. (1/3) limberation.com/2019/10/26/soc…
It occurred to me, my generation is effectively the first generation in human history with an appreciable number of chronic illness patients in society. This is because NOW medical science can keep us alive, whereas historically that was not possible. (2/3)

Thank you all so much. I've emotionally processed the situation a bit more so feel better this morning. To give more context, when I was assessed yesterday, I had "tenderness" & swelling in new places: TMJ, sternum/clavicle, greater trochanter (enthesis), lateral elbow etc. (1/4)
Most of the 30 finger joints were swollen and "tender" when assessed. As with the toe joints (excluding the operated joints, no assessment for them). My energy level is shocking.

Responses on an earlier thread got me thinking: why does it always seem the "self-entitled" (Group Z people) expect acquiescence from the rest of us (Group A people). Furthermore, why do Grp A people seem to have a natural tendancy to acquiesce, or even make up defence stuff?

Why are Grp As hesitant to stand our ground on principle? Generally, Grp As don't like violence - Grp Zs often seem quite likely to resort to violence. One only needs to look at the USA: which group breaks out the guns, drives cars into peaceful protesters?

I've just had my first #Covid19 confrontation. Paying for my coffee in a local cafe, another patron about my age, stood right behind me, almost touching. I asked, "Excuse me, would you stand 1.5 metres away please?"
He rolled his eyes, huffed and said "Jeezus Christ".
1/3
He hardly moved. I was furious. My words to him were along the lines of if he had no idea how much danger the world was in he should educate himself. I finished by calling him an "ignorant, horrible person".
Yes, I look normal but I'm recovering from reasonably major

Flash Fiction Thread. Since we are all in #StayHome mode, here is a bit of topical flash fiction to amuse those with a dark sense of humour.
I suggest you skip this thread if you do not have said dark sense of humour.
Humans think they are so superior. These marvellous large brains each of them have. Huh! You know so little, despite your science.
Constantly sticking us in petri dishes, under microscopes, killing members of our community in labs across the world.

Again last night there was #BoomerBashing on Twitter. So here is some #BoomerLife reality for the bashers.
1. Many of us, especially woman including me, do not own homes (see 11).
2. We don't get cheaper rent than you do.
3. MANY of us are unemployed due to #ageism4. Many of us may not speak to or touch another human for days on end. Reality.
5. Many of us have no or very little superannuation - that wasn't the system when we started out.
6. We get up, as I have this morning, put on the lipstick, pop in the earrings - for WHAT? Hope?

Thread on AGEISM
1. Yesterday I was reprimanded for calling out generational bigotry/prejudice by suggesting ageism was no different to racism or sexism.
People of colour are forever saying "don't tell us what is racist". Women are forever saying "don't tell us what is sexist"
2. As a person of age, I am saying "don't tell me what is ageist".
We know ageism is a huge problem in Australia. The largest group on Newstart?
