Dual Nat Australian living in metro Perth, WA. Avid gardener, especially foods/fruits. Crappy mobility due to wonky spine that's aged quicker than me.

News junkie, left of centre, inequality & bigotry pet hates. 2 woofers keep me sane.

A pop up box on Tylenol dot com
tylenol.com TYLENOL We stand with science, and we stand with you. For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most. Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history. The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label. High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor. We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

Its time these agreements with fossil fuel/miners are dumped & proper structured agreements protecting our resources are put in place.

The payments they make & the environmental damage they do don't pass the pub test. Plus proper & robust investigation when they go outside agreements!

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

This is an absolute travesty of justice, Richard Boyle exposed the rot in the ATO. He should be celebrated not dealing with 8 years of torment.

The prosecution of ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle should not have gone forward. It was never in the public interest. It was always open for former Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to stop it. It was a disgrace that he refused to do so. #karma #auspol
