I am glad we made her feel safe. I am glad we are still a country that can celebrate Pride openly and have rainbow lights on our biggest monument to unbridled capitalis.. ERM building.

Minister Erica Stanford celebrates "the 1st time in 50 years that we’ve built a new specialist school”. She ignores the history of abuse that saw former segregated schools like Kimberley shut down. Please read Sir Robert Martin's words on his torment there.

There shouldn't. But this article is just speculation from an addiction soecialist who has issues with ADHD being diagnosed at all (McBride). The patients quoted don't support the story that's being set out at all.

Leaders should absolutely show up, but disaster response isn’t a photo op or should be trivialised. Watching our Prime Minister hand out boxes of KFC to impacted communities was peak cringe IMO. We need serious, systems-level action and that 6b resilience fund like yesterday.

This year as well, I donated the same amount as last year to the Department of Urology at the medical university affiliated with a hospital in Tokyo, using the profits from my 2025 Bandcamp sales. Thanks to the support of each of you, I was able to contribute again. I’m sincerely grateful.
I donated all profits from my 2024 Bandcamp sales, minus fees, equally between a national center, which identified my ureterocele, and the Department of Urology at the medical university affiliated with the hospital where I am currently under follow-up, to support their research activities. (1/7)

One of the big things of noticed in the responses to the Manage My Health data breach debacle is the fact so few people seem to understand that our Primary Health Care system is a privatized neoliberal system, hence why a for profit private entity operates the primary care patient portal that is MMH
