I alerted my whole apartment building (99 apartments) to the incoming costs for COVID vaccines and got this beautiful message. How many people will suffer as a result of prohibitive pricing. What are we doing? (Apologies, I cannot select the text to copy it into the alt text).
A thank you message from a neighbour who was able to book in for a COVID vaccination before they cost loads of money.

Just want to point out that it's so much more acceptable for male politicians to be fiery , we've all seen how powerful female politicians get treated in this country.

A reminder that this year the unemployment rate has gone up 0.56%pts - roughly an extra 87,000 unemployed. So in 15 min when the RBA raises rates again just remember 35-44yos on Jobseeker are almost 10 times more likely to die than those not on welfare: www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
Chart showing deaths per 100,000 by age
22-34yo: 17.1 no welfare; 137.0 on Jobseeker
35-44yo: 30 no welfare; 288.1 on Jobseeker
45-55yo: 83.4 no welfare; 427.0 on Jobseeker

I repost this reality every year or so, in case any ‘good guys’ have missed how simple yet impossible public freedom is for most women. They are usually shocked, not necessarily knowing that’s how women in their lives feel. Spread it around?

Recent photo at the NHS. Over 6 years into #COVID, and we still have “wash your hands” under “AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS.” We are failing hard to communicate one of the most basic lessons of this pandemic: Airborne means spread through the AIR. Clean air is infection control. #Airborne #PublicHealth #NHS
Photo shows a sign at NHS that says: Airborne precaution
Please wash your hands before entering the training room. Thank you

I can't stop thinking about how many men read that Snapchat and did nothing. How many men in that house knew a woman was being gang raped and did nothing. This is why we say all men. Bc it's your friends, your besties, your fellow frat bros and you do nothing to stop them.

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd. We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus. It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling. People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.
