@docsforclimate.bsky.socialReposted by @lodrinkswater.bsky.socialLorraine Boissoneault calls it "body weather": the unpredictable shifts of chronic illness. In this episode of #HealthyClimateAmerica, she shares what that experience can teach us about living in a changing climate and caring for one another.
@beaconpress.bsky.socialReposted by @lodrinkswater.bsky.socialIn BODY WEATHER, @lodrinkswater.bsky.social considers the collateral damage that results from human-caused environmental destruction, and figures the development of disease in a similar vein. If you’re living with chronic illness, this is your book! buff.ly/WHMAwfm

@lodrinkswater.bsky.socialAlso loved The City of Glass, but for me it’s The Ardent Swarm by Yamen Manai. So so good!

@beaconpress.bsky.socialReposted by @lodrinkswater.bsky.socialStudies show women face more misdiagnoses than men, and a significantly longer wait time for effective treatment. Medical misogyny is rooted in our history. @lodrinkswater.bsky.social buff.ly/03T3HWY
@lodrinkswater.bsky.socialSo grateful to The Persistent for running this piece about some of the historical origins of medical misogyny and how these problems continue to this day: www.thepersistent.com/p/the-horrib...
@lodrinkswater.bsky.socialThis is such a beautiful review. So grateful to Emily and @themassreview.bsky.social for engaging thoughtfully with Body Weather
@kerri-smith.bsky.socialReposted by @lodrinkswater.bsky.socialAlmost every infection can leave a subset of people with a chronic condition, #MECFS and #longCOVID among them. Why does that happen, and where are the treatments? www.nature.com/articles/d41... New feature from @nature.com
@lodrinkswater.bsky.socialWhat’s that phrase about history rhyming? As if it weren’t horrible enough what’s being done to the Haitian community.
@lodrinkswater.bsky.socialLove to see indie bookstores offering great deals on release week!
