[FRIAM] self-care

Thu Jun 30 20:40:27 EDT 2022

Yeah, the theme of performative cruelty as a social movement has now fully found and asserted its identity.  

I wonder when the rest of us decide this is enough of a threat to need an organized response, and how we do that.

(Yes, I'm poking fun both at the people who bought veterinary ivermectin and the people who used the disgusting sneer "horse dewormer".) To boot, this post came up this morning about a homeopathic packet sent home with the patient after surgery: https://centerforinquiry.salsalabs.org/2022cfimidyearemailversion11 <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcenterforinquiry.salsalabs.org%2f2022cfimidyearemailversion11&c=E,1,2-tYnySplBvRbyAEZY0KK5_SNRCghwoq9MmOb6g5eMt9G2A_oGrBmm9E1TaU7yvGTUKGOPabsgE4XOSxdStdMKcxT0twCXUSsGHdzEdo&typo=1>.

And while it's true most experts claim that *healthy* people just pee them out. *Who* amongst us actually qualifies as "healthy"? What does "health" even mean? That's not an idle or rhetorical question. Am I "healthy", despite the excruciating chronic pain in my shoulders, neck, and lower back? Despite my sporadic debilitating migraines? Despite my now abated follicular lymphoma? Sure, I *seem* healthy because I can do pull-ups, shovel dirt, drink 5 pints without a hangover, and maintain a full-time job with a bit of time for hobbies. But what you see from the outside doesn't reflect what I feel on the inside, which is like a sick puppy where the slightest bad event would topple me into the "disabled" category. "Healthy" is at best a misinformation concept, at worst a malinformation concept: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/mdm-incident-response-guide_508.pdf <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.cisa.gov%2fsites%2fdefault%2ffiles%2fpublications%2fmdm-incident-response-guide_508.pdf&c=E,1,Ef-lWkoDnJgtSZ-J-K2J__Wq3myHESDDO7FOgc7aBf48epSTTibefBKrHiCBz7IkvQMKq_jRU9CmI-tNPXyTpwFzlorlRHmoGOhnyCjNZIFl-1kNK5Uos08,&typo=1>

Fad diets, bottled water, alcoholism or pregnancy as an indicator for moral failure, etc. all point at that thing, whatever that thing is.
