People have a psychological denial mechanism that is stopping them seeing the threat to their families - they can’t see that this is going to, at the very least, collapse the quality of life we have, permanently and forever

As we approach #NewYear2025 people with disabilities vulnerable to #COVID19 have now endured a state of siege nearly as long as World War II. Unable to travel, attend indoor venues and locked out of jobs & community. Constantly sick, shielding or recovering (thread)

#Update: As you once again look at your post Christmas credit card balance and wonder how you’re going to fare next year as the cost-of-living crisis continues, I thought I’d share an update of our senior officials’ circumstances as they move into 2025. #auspol #FatCats

As you look at your post Christmas credit card balance and wonder how you’re going to fare next year, particularly noting the current cost-of-living crisis, I thought I’d share a round-up of senior officials’ circumstances as they move into 2024. #auspol

I was in a queue waiting for dinner in my prison the other day. I overheard a guy saying, "Yeah I got a 1 year sentence and I am still in here after 15 years." I see him around the prison. He has a resigned mood about him. Like you would if your life was being taken from you. No one is writing articles in the Guardian about him. The situation of Gaie Delap being sent back to prison because a tag cannot fit around her ankle or wrist securely is, of course, cruel and totally unnecessary. But then the whole prison system is cruel and totally unnecessary. It is massively underfunded and tens of thousands of people are being banged up for no other reason than state neglect. The whole system is "beyond absurd". It's a modern form of slavery - except the tags are now plastic not iron. It's only accepted because it has grown slowly into the obscenity it is and governments do not care. Those that aimed to stop the M25 were not "environmental activists" as the liberal press likes to pretend. They were resistors against a regime engaged in genocide. It was an act of civil resistance, not a "protest". We are in prison not because we are a threat to the community but a threat to the regime that is taking our communities into the endless hell of climate breakdown. Our sentences and treatment are not "disproportionate". They are illegal and criminal. We should not be in prison at all. Carla Denyer, MP, is lying when she says the actions were "designed to draw attention to the threat posed by the climate emergency." They were designed not to "draw attention" but to stop the climate emergency by pressuring the government to stop licenses to drill for more oil and gas. The climate emergency is not "a threat", it is an existing objective reality. There are 100,000 cars presently being scrapped in Valencia. $500 billion of damage has been inflicted on the US economy by recent hurricanes. The elites have conspired to lock in 2C, which will destroy the livelihoods of 1 billion people. And that will be just the beginning. This state sponsored vandalism will continue for 100,000 years. Politicians have known what they were and are now still doing for 30 years. It is the greatest crime in the history of humanity. And Carla Denyer is now part of the political class complicit in this crime. One day these people will themselves have to face British "justice". And whether a tag fits around their ankles will be the last of their worries.

Covid DOUBLES risk of heart attack and stroke long-term. In severe Covid, it's 4-7 times the risk. (Details in comments.)

Hey SA folks, remember Premier Marshall deciding to let Covid into zero-Covid SA Nov '21? Remember him reassuring us when cases started rising that we just had to "push through"? No-one questioned what he actually meant of course. So I guess we're still "pushing through" then!

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity.

And there, set out in black and white in the mid year budget update (MYEFO) today, is the punch line of the so-called Australian aged care reform. The government is banking on saving $18.8 billion over 10 years from the aged care budget.

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re common comorbids & can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? Mega 🧵 of resources

@broadwaybabyto High GI meals can cause racing heart when you’ve got POTS so sticking to low GI meals is a good general rule.

Long COVID is disappearing, and replaced by fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, pounding heart, chest pain, joint or muscle pain, rash, diarrhea, changes in menstrual cycle, changes in smell or taste, headache, depression, sleep disorder, memory loss, poor concentration, and IQ decline.

A common, but poorly understood symptom in long covid is this bizarre feeling of "internal vibrations" - this new paper makes me wonder if perhaps it's a sign of brainstem dysfunction? #MESpine @tessfalor @IsabelRamirezRD nature.com/articles/s4159…

I know I'm an arsehole, but I figured if they are going to give us only one day to put in a submission I am going to write 100 pages (I almost made 100!) for them to distribute for each committee member to read. dropbox.com/scl/fi/inrmfqo… This is NOT public consultation.

Okay, I have spent some time analysing the kids' social media ban Bill and holy hell, this is bad. You have one day (til COB tomorrow) to get a letter of submission in and I think it would be great if you did. Analysis. @DavidShoebridge @AdamBandt @SenatorJordon @Asher_Wolf.

I've been thinking about a new educational mega thread for awhile now. I wanted to pick a topic that will scare the bejesus out of you, but not in a typical fearmongering handwaiving kind of way. I like statistics, and I want to show you how civilization is most likely to end.
