Living in fascism is a lot more ridiculous than I thought it would be.
Like these people in charge are objectively silly and I resent having to take them seriously.

Looking for temp accommodation whilst I have my tiny home built. Within 90 mins of Naarm/Melb as we have regular medical and vet appointments. If you know of any options for up to 6 months please reach out. Or please share, the more eyes on this the better the outcome! Thanks in advance.

There is zero way I would be able to work for some big org. these days. I run my own business and WFH and it means I can accommodate myself, where an org. would absolutely not do that for me.
Not only can working from home make you happier, for many disabled people it allows them to remain in the workforce
It gives them autonomy & independence. Flexibility to attend doctors appointments and care for their health
It’s a crucial accommodation, and removing it will harm disabled lives

It is so outrageously ableist to say we should ban masks & stop people from protecting their health & the health of those around you.
COVID is still spreading.
People are still dying from COVID.
Millions of people are struggling with #LongCOVID.
And COVID is just one of many reasons to mask

New research shows even infants and preschoolers can develop long COVID at a concerning rate, with persistent symptoms like cough, disrupted sleep, and appetite loss. Post-viral illness in young children is real and needs to be taken seriously.

Every single person should be made to watch this. Remember when we cared for each other and it seemed like life was changing for the better, despite covid... watch this and find out what happened.
I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...
