I went off long term sick with Long Covid from Covid I caught at work because they got bored of asking employees with Covid to not come in maybe, and eventually resigned due to ill health, and I didn’t even get a get well / leaving card.
happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Despite measles being declared eliminated in the US in 2000, annual measles cases have reached a 33-year high — and it's only July.
This is the tragic result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation, and will only get worse in the coming years because anti-vaxxers now lead our health agencies.

Animal Justice getting the final seat over Moermond (a total crackpot) is excellent. One Nation wins a second seat at the expense of the Liberals getting 11, and I'd rather a faceless Lib backbencher than an ON nutter, but that's not as bad as AJP beating Moermond is good, so overall I'm pleased
Final result for the WA Legislative Council is:
Labor 16
Liberal 10
Greens 4
Nats 2

Thanks to some people in my Discord who attended the button push.
Apparently the AJP won the last seat.
