I don’t write about being chronically ill very often, mostly because I’m still thinking it through in real time.
This short piece is about effort, belief, and what it’s like to live in a culture that insists improvement is always possible…even when your body says otherwise.

Some advice please: I'm looking for a smart watch for my ageing father, which constantly tracks heart rate and heart rhythm. Needs to be easy to use and not mechanically fiddly, and I can help him with associated apps etc. I know absolutely nothing about smart watches and reviews on the web are a quagmire of slop, does anyone have any experience and recommendations? Thank you! 💕

The US government’s new dietary guidelines have sparked debate, but according to a scientist who worked on them, the clearest science is simple: cutting back on highly processed foods and sugary drinks — and eating more whole grains — can significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Snow is turning grey near the Afşin-Elbistan coal complex in #Türkiye.
If this is what coal does to snow, imagine what it does to your lungs and the air we all breathe.
Coal pollution releases tiny toxic particles that are among the worst for respiratory and heart health, especially for children and older people.
This region and its people deserve a green and just transition that protects their health and the land, water and air they depend on.

My siblings and I suffer from chronic pollen allergies, yet we find ourselves forced to do the exact opposite of avoiding triggers. Because cooking gas is so scarce and barely enough for our meals, we have to heat our bathwater over wood fires. I cannot find the words to describe the pain we endure. It hurts deeply that we are deprived of the most basic rights enjoyed by the rest of the world.
