Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Same here. We have 3/4 asthmatics in our house. A few with other conditions as well.
Medical care has become a life v death decision for us now.
Seeking care can now kill us due to the medical staff that don’t care.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

There are two types of people that the planet needs fewer of, billionaires and poor people. The ratio of wealth is so one sided that for every billionaire we destroy, thousands of poor people are lifted out of poverty because of it. Win, win. 🎉

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Speaking to a friend yesterday, not a wild radical, just a calm, smart thinker.
They said they regard a process of orderly improvement to Australian government, finance, and social systems as impossible from here because of the entrenched greed and corruption, and that it must instead be rebellion.
