Today > Routine pest inspector > he's appalled by the US, Germany, far right EU countries. Can't believe it's going "that way" again, then mouthed off about First Nation's people. How do people not connect racism with white supremacy and the completely expected outcome of physical harm and 💀 ????

I would like a word with whoever taught cis people that if they see a trans person who is upset about the rise of transphobia, they have to tell them they’re “valid” I’ve been out as trans for 13 years. I know I’m a man, I don’t need your personal validation, maybe protest against fascism instead?

This is a good little thread. To all the complicit media outlets and journos - first you hid it, then you lied, now you're gaslighting the public. WE ARE NOT BUYING IT.

A massive thanks to those who helped me out over the past week. I can keep my head above water for a tiny bit longer, phew. Today was a rough day, it started with extreme pain, vomiting and sweats. Dragged myself to see new specialist, more scans ASAP $. Being sick is expensive and soul destroying 😢

You may have noticed I haven't been online much . My Long C has worsened and I have days at a time where I can’t stand or speak. 😔 I’m facing $4500 in medical bills + rent. Please buy a #SassieBadge or donate if you can. I’m fighting extra hard and I really need the support, TY. 💖 #MutualAid ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I'm in a hard spot preparing for the death of my mum and how to navigate it with my intellectually disabled sibling. Preparing for death is hard enough on its own, this adds a whole extra layer of grief & turmoil. If anyone has good resources to help support my ID sib, please send them my way.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Sometimes I feel like I'm privy to a secret that few know. The friends who say, "You can't live in fear, just live your life", they don't know how bad it can get. How C19 and other serious vir_ses can render you unable to move, staring at the roof and walls... trapped. If they knew, they'd avoid it.

The @NDIS seriously need to look at provider exploitation. How is one 90 min home visit to talk about putting on shoes $633?!?! This is extortion. Many Disabled people have no choice but to have an OT come to their home, otherwise they’re unable to engage support at all. 😤😡

The Aus Govt can put out TV ads highlighting the disadvantages to people's health and fitness from vaping and RSV but not from C19. It tracks. They clearly don't care about confronting the elephant in the room.

Today's health service meetings raised more questions. 1. Who should be setting the research agendas of hospitals and Primary Health Networks? How and why? 2. How do you balance the needs of a local population with researcher career advancement? Is this important or justified?
