The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about minority government, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol #2025election

Went to Bunnings outdoor garden centre in a Trident. Frankly, felt kind of risky. I’m not sure there are any well people in Melbourne this Xmas. Super glad we’re “living with covid”, that was a great choice 👍🙄

I think my most controversial take on COVID, and what I think nearly everyone in is getting wrong about this, is that it's a disease whose burden falls primarily on the young. Not the old.

In 2020, I had this long list of people I worried about who I wanted to protect & warn: hey, stay home, be careful, wear a mask! Wash your hands! Be Safe!!!! At least with bird flu I’m not going to have that stress. I’m down to like 5 people I’d even bother mentioning it to. Survive. Or don’t 🤷🏼‍♀️

More than two years on, still tired, still withdrawn but more resigned to it all.

Genuinely, when Labor has a minion call to shore up your previously certain vote for the next election, what will you say? Because I just don’t even have words. I have no imaginable way to express, truly express, where I’m at with Labor and how broken I feel about the disappointment of their term.

My husband told me we “didn’t make any memories for 3 years while in lockdown”. We weren’t even in lockdown for three years 🤯 And the kids and I actually had many lovely moments while we were. I have many photos to prove it. But he felt we made no memories 🤷🏼‍♀️

How does ATAGI get to ignore this?! No transparency or accountability. Will they ever have to answer for ignoring the science 🤯 My son says the preps at school look so unwell 😔 They’re the cohort who were never allowed to be vaxxed. ATAGI is playing with real lives not numbers on a spreadsheet.

Mask wearing is distinctly up in my area of Melbourne. Heartbreakingly, it’s almost all cloth masks circa 2020. I think people are tiring of the sickness but our Govt has ensured they don’t have the knowledge to avoid it. They’ll walk away from this wave believing masks don’t work 😔

Satisfaction with life in Australia hits record low, according to survey "Australians’ overall satisfaction with their personal lives remained close to its lowest level recorded, while satisfaction with life in Australia reached its lowest level in the survey’s 24-year history"

Satisfaction with life in Australia hits record low, according to survey
Australian Unity’s latest wellbeing index has found that satisfaction with life in Australia has hit a record low.

The survey was conducted in partnership with Deakin University in June and measured subjective wellbeing in more than 2,000 adults across areas such as the economy, health, and community connectedness. The key findings included:

Australians’ overall satisfaction with their personal lives remained close to its lowest level recorded, while satisfaction with life in Australia reached its lowest level in the survey’s 24-year history.

Adults aged 18-34 years reported the highest feelings of mental distress and loneliness and some of the lowest levels of personal wellbeing of any group across the adult lifespan.

One in two adults under 55 years old reported going without essential items because of money pressures and felt financially worse off than their parents were at their age.

The results show that satisfaction with life in Australia dropped to its lowest level on record since 2002. Lead researcher Dr Kate Lycett said the findings “go against our expectations of social progress, where each generation will be better off than the next, and point to an urgent need to tackle growing national inequities”.

In 2024, we need to ask ourselves, and particularly those in power, what type of country do we want to be – if we want to boost our collective wellbeing, we need to deal with the big issues facing our nation and stop tinkering at the edges.

There are gates keeping people out Unless we have a broad, well informed, free entry base for LC diagnosis, the diagnosed group will skew towards those with access

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.

I have to put more effort into this place, I actively feel dirty when I post on X but I’m just tired and I drift back when I’m sad and need a quick fix 🤪🙃

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

"During the two years of analysis, we estimated that 85.6 million years of life were lost due to COVID-19 in the 49 countries studied." 85.6 million years of life lost due to COVID, but sure let's continue pretending that COVID is "just a cold."

This is every risk-taking partner of a covid-aware person: “I want US to roll the dice on covid to make ME happy but I want YOU to look happy about it ok? And IF it goes bad, it’s a no-fault situation, ok? Also, pretend you haven’t noticed I have a low attention span for life’s low points. Agreed?”

I would love to be able to just go into my living room and say, “This morning, the whole covid situation is making me particularly sad.” And instead of it causing a fight or tension or friction, have someone lift me back up to fight another day. An impossible dream for me.

For Australians it’s 2020/21 again. There are vaccines, they’re not perfect but they’re the best option there is. And we get to sit here on social media watching people in the US and Europe accessing them while feeling like we may as well be living on the moon for all the good it will do us.

The people who kill all hope for me are the ones who say: “Oh yeah, covid is BAD, catching it repeatedly will not end well. But, life without restaurants is EQUALLY bad so I’m going to go do that and never discuss covid”. Because they mean it. They really are willing to die for dinner out.
