Things Chronically Ill People Do Just To Function Every Day - Cracked Nails & Split Ends A personal look at the invisible labour of chronic illness, pain and fatigue. The quiet coping strategies people use just to get through the day.

“Functioning is not the same as #thriving. & #functioning usually comes with a long list of small, barely noticeable things u do just to get thru the day. Things other people dont clock. Things that r actually #survival tools.”: buff.ly/I0880pQ

#Spain won't consider #independence for #Catalonia.

Nor #recognize #Kosovo, free since 2008.

Nor support #statehood for ~60m. #Kurds.

But when it comes to " #Palestine" - which isn't #established, #much #less #functioning - Spain's fully on board.

WHY THE #HYPOCRISY?
