It’s not that I think everything is about COVID, but COVID keeps getting ignored — even though it’s still a major health issue in an ongoing pandemic.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

There is a company selling e-bikes for toddlers that have a top speed of 20km/h. When I saw the ad on Fb I thought it was a scam, but they’re also being sold on the Harvey Norman website. How is this legal?

We sourced a letter from our primary GP stating 10yo could have a Covid booster because he’s never had Covid. That was the easiest part. No one had the under 12 in stock, there was no easy way to find out where to get it. Finally found a chemist that had it and they refused even with the letter.
