The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now.
I. Told. You. So.
Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole.
Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)

If there was a prize for post of the week @clareobrien.bsky.social deserves to win it for saying that trying to get away from the AI shite being pushed on us is "like escaping the advances of a drunken harasser in a bar."
I'm sick of A.I. being pushed on me like drugs at the school gate. Wanted to check my Microsoft 365 subscription today, and only got to see my payment history after I'd had to punch Copilot in the face about three times. Felt like escaping the advances of a drunken harasser in a bar.

Thinking about the amazing St Mary McKillop on All Saints Day - because nothing says "I smashed the patriarchy" better than being ex-communicated for telling the priests to stay in their lane and let her teach as she saw fit only to eventually become a saint 😊.

The housing crisis is the 2025 equivalent of the Broad Street pump in 1854. Attempting to fix a housing crisis with more psychiatrists, is like trying to prevent cholera with more air freshener. Failure to take drastic action on housing is only going to cause more deaths like David's 😰.
It is my understanding that David Wakeham @wakehamamr.bsky.social died on 7 August by suicide, secondary to housing instability caused by the apathy and malice of the Queensland and Australian Governments.
I met David once, at a Senate inquiry. I did not know them well. They deserved better.

I agree that it's ghastly. But it's not a "double colonisation" when it's affecting artists and writers of every background.

It amazes me that the creatures who can't read the Bible and would only understand words like "walk" if you read it to them are more Christian than some humans who are most insistent of their supposed faith - while spewing hatred. Dogs just appreciate nature and show humans love and forgiveness.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week
He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared
They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him
Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility
They kidnapped a disabled child!

I was astonished to hear from Matthew Warner-Smith that the public radiology workforce in NSW is so precarious that just 4 radiologists, all approaching retirement age, do 1/3 of Breastscreen NSW reporting. And screens are double-read- a huge volume. 😱 #ASBD2025 #BreastCancer #MedSky

Billy Idol - We Didn't Start the Fire (1989). Imagine - John Lennon (1971). So many other examples. The reason for people's shock today isn't that the world has changed. It's that they thought the horrors they are now seeing only happened in the past, or in other countries, to other people.

Exactly. Science and spirituality work hand in hand in a healthy world. And as someone else pointed out recently, churches have traditionally set up schools- to educate future scientists, not to keep the masses uneducated.

I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪
