Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/12/2024SARS-CoV-2 is in your brain. Yes, you. It’s in your brain 🧠 #WeAreNotMakingThisShitUp 2119863
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024There’s also that thing about needing to fit in. If peer pressure turns your brain to mush and you risk the lives of your family, you get what’s coming to you. 000
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Yes, thankfully we are living in times where adaptation is necessary. If we don’t adapt we die. That’s what will happen to those who don’t adapt. And it’s not our responsibility ❤️🩹 000
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Don’t be sorry, Raindrops. You didn’t do anything wrong. This is the life we have to put up with when most of the world lives in abject denial. Let them all get Long COVID and see how far they get asking for help 🤷🏼♀️ 010
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Laugh I’ll do. If I prayed, they certainly wouldn’t deserve my words to a god 😈 010
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Nutcases everywhere. What can you do 🤷🏼♀️ 100
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Not a word in reply. How can you be a scientist, be presented with 433,000+ peer reviewed articles, 7,000+ of which are about paeds (while your wife is pregnant), and not say a single word? Fscking loser. I’m done with him. 241
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 13/11/2024If I close my eyes I can’t see him, so I guess he’s not real either. What are you all worried about, Australia 🇦🇺 Join me in closing my eyes and not looking at anything coming from the US election. It’s time to invoke our NIMBY. 3100
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 13/11/2024If I had the option of not being reliant on my Dad for a roof over my head…I might still stay. Even if we have a few good words every now and then, it’s better than nothing and he won’t be around forever. As for the particular sibling who needs a punch in the face, I can avoid him. Thank goodness! 020
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Fairly average? You’re being very generous, Alison 🤣 000
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 13/11/2024It is, Raindrops! I have so much more compassion and empathy for people who have lived their lives like this. Not that I didn’t in the first place, but with experience comes all the extra horrible stuff people do to each other. It’s good to know awesome people like you ❤️🩹 010
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024You have a medical condition?! Don’t tell me, you reach out to random women in your sleep 😴 It’s ok, I shop in my sleep. We all have something interesting going on with us 😹 000
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024That’s a lot! Looks like the problem is still not in hand. He’s doing a great job 👏🏻 130
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024This is good 👇🏻 and it’s helpful. I like muting. It blocks at the same time and I don’t have to press anymore buttons 🫰🏻 1180
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024And the words, “what are you doing to protect your family from potential death and/or disability from the consequences of the ongoing COVID pandemic?” And now I’m stuck in my bedroom not knowing what I’ll face if I go outside. This is not right. 260

Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024It’s not easy being the mostly bedridden person in the family who is silenced from talking about COVID and what it did to me. It’s about to impact my siblings and their kids and I’ve had enough of being silent. Bro just got some links to the peer reviewed studies. I can’t 🤐 2260
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 11/11/2024Bwahahaha how do you manage that, Alison 🤣 010
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Why do I get all the dipshit men desperate for attention in my private msgs? Women are too busy being awesome 😎 290

Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 10/11/2024To be clear, desperate men are sending me private msgs and it’s so damn boring. They’ve got no clue and no chance. 110
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Got something to say? Say it here, in public. Want my attention? Don’t send me boring private msgs. You look desperate. 160
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Got some, thanks Mark. Now to get some tape for the N95s that have the smallest gap. Not wasting them! 000

Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 16/11/2023Good friend died yesterday with voluntary assisted suicide. He had LC badly and a short fight with pancreatic cancer made him check out. Friend’s Nan died from a C-19 infection and her funeral was today. The C-19 funeral season has begun. Try not to join it. #WearAMask 040

Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 02/11/2023I should also add that Australia’s health insurance industry is very different to other countries. It’s highly regulated and it has been made almost impossible for them to exclude various conditions. Universal healthcare here looks after everyone. Private health gives you more chances. 000
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 02/11/2023Hahahaha I am the influential bin lady! Not sure if that’s better or worse than angry covid lady 🤣 010
Melissa Challenor @picklemelissa.bsky.social · 02/11/2023Asked Dad if it was Thursday yesterday because I’d just put the bins out. Nope, it was still Wednesday. Interestingly, my forward thinking has influenced people up and down the street who put their bins out a day early too 😉 100
