Here is Miss 8 having a violin lesson in Sydney, staying Covid safe with her #flomask. The rest of the world may have moved on, but we refuse to kowtow to forced mass infection.

Kmart, Best&Less, Target, H&M… nothing nice for girls over 8. Myer has a few decent dresses, but barely anything past size 9. Why is it so hard to find lovely, feminine clothes for older girls in Australia?!

Fast fashion items are often manufactured using high volumes of polyester, a plastic, fossil fuel-derived fabric. Many end up in landfill within a year.
France has introduced a tax of €5 on items from fast fashion companies with low environmental credibility. Australia can follow France's lead.

Come visit Joe & Sal’s Glebe Café w/ its charming semi-open frontage! It’s run by a beautiful family. I love Sal’s amazing soups, Joe’s kibbeh & kofta wrap. Miss 8 adores the gourmet sandwiches & child-sized milkshakes. Fantastic coffee too!

Such important work on 3 fronts: (1) identifies a new anti-SARSCov2 drug (desperately needed), (2) develops an impressive mouse model for long COVID, (3) offers an avenue for potential treatment, not just prevention, of long COVID. Kudos to the team @wehi-research.bsky.social and collaborators.
Could this breakthrough research lead to the first treatment for #longCOVID? A world-first milestone made possible through the advanced technologies of the National Drug Discovery Centre.

There is nothing mild about #COVID. We were told in the UK that the children who had liver problems had been possibly impacted by Adenovirus. Why are children not being protected from airborne transmission? Why are JCVI restricting vaccines to such a narrow band? @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social
Remember the "mysterious" hepatitis outbreak in UK kids that baffled experts back in 2022? The one we were told was due to adenovirus (or even strawberries, allergies, and lockdowns)? The one that labeled ppl mentioning the C word as fearmongerers? Turns out it was #covid19 .
