Part of this is an effort to educate science writers on how to report on disability well and educating readers on how to spot good coverage. Number one rule: talk to disabled people. Interview multiple people who actually have the disease you’re writing about.— Ryan Prior (@r_prior) February 3, 2023

Today for @openmind_mag, I have a big new essay about #longcovid, #mecfs, and how we’ve surpassed a historic pivot point in the scientific understanding of post-infectious disease. https://t.co/fL0RTJ86Ur— Ryan Prior (@r_prior) February 3, 2023

Someone I know just had major surgery for serious dx and after one (maybe two?) days their pain medications were switched to T3s. So driven about 'caring' about preventing addiction that they do not care about torturing people. Doesn't seem moral or ethical to me.— G 👩🏻‍🦽is in solidarity with Stephanie Allen!

Pressure comes in many formsIt can be literal demands, or more subtle things like changing scope or moving deadlinesA ‘pressure budget’ can be useful… having a limit helps us to identify & act when pressure is an issue preventing us from getting into a flowy tunnel.2/5— TunnelsNotTasks (@TunnelsNotTasks) January 30, 2023

Discomfort can also impact safety & tunnels.Excessive noise & bright lights, a bad chair, tricky clothing textures, or being to hot or cold can all get in the way.Addressing these barriers before starting a tunnel can help build momentum & a sense of safety.3/5— TunnelsNotTasks (@TunnelsNotTasks) January 30, 2023

Finally, it’s critical that we’re safe from interruption.Abruptly crashing out of a focus tunnel can be physically painful & very upsetting.Tunnelling is easier in a controlled environment where we can’t be interrupted, or ensuring folks around us know to leave us alone.4/5— TunnelsNotTasks (@TunnelsNotTasks) January 30, 2023

Phew. That’s a lot of thingsThe framing of safety as a foundation of focus tunnels is key. By identifying barriers in the environment we can find ways to remove them & thriveHow does safety impact your ability to focus & tunnel?What helps you to feel safe & flowy?5/5— TunnelsNotTasks (@TunnelsNotTasks) January 30, 2023

🧵Tunnelling Tip: Feeling safe is a foundation of a flowy focus tunnel. Feeling unsafe leads to grinding.Safe in this context means “trusting the environment to stay how we need it.”This thread cover three areas of safety.
