Rząd poświęcił Bug dla polityki. Trwa niszczenie dzikiego brzegu rzeki [ZDJĘCIA]
Setki tysięcy drzew poszły pod topór na całym granicznym z Białorusią odcinku Bugu. Ma to zapobiec przedostawaniu się migrantów do Polski przez rzekę. Tyle że to nie jest łatwa droga i migranci wybierają zwykle inne szlaki.Regina Skibińska (OKO.press)

Re: last boost
I think my biggest hurdle with being disabled was coming to terms with it being fine not to get better.
Everything tells you you have to strive for wellness or a cure, do what you can to become abled again. Never give up hope it'll be possible. It was one of the most damaging mantras in the face of something that realistically I knew wasn't possible, and people would get angry at "I'm never getting better and that's OK"
Accepting being disabled is seen as a failing. It's not.

I have been on a three and half yr journey so far. I have a spinal cord injury that limits my activity and prevents me doing things I would like to do, as well as causing bowel and bladder issues.
I’m learning to manage my energy, and talking to a nurse at Spinal Injuries Association in UK made me realise the way I was feeling was perfectly valid.
For a long time I struggled with accepting it as visually you wouldn’t know, and I felt like a hypochondriac.
@iamnotme My issues are invisible too. I had a spontaneous spinal cord injury of sorts, a very rare thing. Even after being diagnosed, seeing it on the scans, I was still regularly dismissed and told it was in my head. Something a *lot* of us get and are shuffled off to MH services for.
There's society's opinions, family's, then medical opinions too. I found everything mounted, it really caused the self doubt to kick in. I still get it now after most of my life like this
mine was as a result of my spinal cord not enjoying freedom when I had C6/7 ACDF surgery. Along with lumbar spine being too narrow, that I was told to ignore in 2011, I was lucky to only be paralysed for 5 days and in hosp for 10.
Due to Covid my referral to a spinal injuries unit got lost. My bladder and bowel symptoms were dismissed apt 2023, only to be told this September by the same consultant that it ‘absolutely’ can happen.
Good luck on your continued journey.

This is a deeply vulnerable and personal piece my wife Ayesha and I wrote about our daughter & the incurable disease with which she suffers. We wrote it not because her story is special, but because it is all too common. This torture must end, and as Americans we must stand united to end it.

in reply to JamesHeady • • •Apologies, I didn’t realise that links were a problem for screen readers. Any thoughts on how can I make that post most accessible?
(And yes, that’s what it’s about while the link is to a separate news story about companies in Missouri suing to stop a law that mandates paying their workers sick leave and raising the minimum wage.)
