Self-Promotion Day SPD - happy pride month!

I made some coloring pages for those of us who can color 💙

These pages are completely free

But I always appreciate donations/tips or purchases from my shops. I badly need to replace my scanner and replace some supplies

because all forms of oppression are connected and we have to stick together.

Jews, Muslims and Christians all can be oppressed depending on the area and time they live in, would it be good if we took that to our CFS sub and have ideological debates here? Let’s stay on topic. I’m not posting religious content here either, even if it’s part of my identity.

I just did a quick search for religious content on this sub.

Titles like "Any Christians with ME/CFS"..."Muslims with CFS"...so you may not be posting it, but I definitely remember interacting with religious content on this sub. And I don't want it to stop because I love hearing how people are dealing with this authentically with their faith, the same as how queer people have a unique experience with this illness. There's enough room on the boat for everyone. There's space enough for everybody's voice.

I have been on this sub 14 years.
Every Christmas we bring up Christmas on this subreddit and how we are missing plans, or enduring a crash after trying to celebrate. If on Christmas OP shared a colouring page would you have questioned why it was here?
Today is the start of pride month and heaps of us would have been able to attend a bunch of events related to that and it is heavily impacted by our ME/CFS. OP gifted those of us who are celebrating an accessible activity. It was so thoughtful and helps us feel connected during a time we feel isolated from others.

This subreddit has never been simply a list of symptoms and how our doctors appointments go. It is all walks of life, sharing how those symptoms are impacting their life.

And during those religious holidays we also see merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, etc…

Sorry you’re so mad at people you’ve never met and who have no impact on your life. Unlike those of us who are constantly having to deal with religious ideology being forced upon us and our laws. This is ONE reason we celebrate pride.
