I keep hearing about people getting antibiotics when they have a virus! 🫠

The last infection I had was cellulitis from an insect bite I scratched. It was very bad quickly. I'm frightened about what would have happened without antibiotics 💀

Let it rip? It gives me a visual of a plague decimating a population. Absolutely devastating.

The natural progression for vax and relax + let it rip.
Downplaying viruses to be 'mild' and not worth worrying about, makes people complacent. This is the fuck around and find out for living with COVID, a virus known to impact your immune system. FAFO...

It's honestly terrifying how many people think Corbyn is relevant in this discussion at all. He's not in the Green Party. He's dramatically failed to start his own new party, siding with transphobic landlords over the left.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"

For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project

The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

Fossil fuel subsidies now dwarf Australia’s disaster fund and exceed the balance of its housing future fund... yet the polluters still get VIP access.

For all the students at the social work uni intensive who told me they now use AI at work to write up case reports:

NDIS participant’s bid for more support failed in part because two physiotherapists used AI to write letters used to back her claim to top up her package

Bid to boost $200k NDIS package rejected after AI use found

The National Disability Insurance Agency warned about cut-and-paste medical reports. Throw artificial intelligence in and the results are even worse.

I’m fed up with reading climate related media and posts that cover everything except the cause and solutions. Is it any wonder most people are clueless and falling into despair. C’mon guys, lift your games. If you’re not writing about a fast exit from fossil fuels then you’re part of the problem.

I'm in a state in Australia where our government is currently spending 8 billion dollars on infrastructure for the US military to house up to five nuclear-powered submarines, and more than 1,000 Americans will soon be based year-round.

Spreading disease that kills and disables people is a tool of the oppressor. To believe your actions & lack of mitigations during an ongoing pandemic have no impact on others is ignorant. We share the air we breathe. Your actions or lack thereof matter. Health supremacy & eugenics are fascist.

Underbaked? I think they're fully cooked from where I'm standing. The US, like all colonial countries has always been cooked, it's just that now the oppression includes the middle classes.

Enabling the spread of Covid-19 by refusing to wear a respirator mask is a form of extreme brutality, resulting in ongoing instances of illness, mortality, and suffering. Millions have perished worldwide from Covid-19, and millions more will perish, because most people choose denial and negligence.

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

While it's far from perfect, a Parliamentary system is very popular among Developed Nations, & seems to do at least a less-terrible job at offering minority parties a real shot at having a voice in government.

When this empire crumbles, we should consider this as an alternative as we rebuild.

zack polanski is so good and i genuinely think if the left rallies around this guy and the green party in the UK, they can easily beat back the hysteria of the reform party

It's difficult to ignore our government giving billions of taxpayer money to the US for AUKUS and having US military bases all over our country. The problem is that you're also ignoring it. Wake up privileged American you can't ignore this. That's why you got trump...
