Gracious as ever:
Defeated Wellington mayoral candidate Ray Chung, who narrowly retained his Wharangi/Onslow-Western ward seat, said his message to voters was: “This is what you’ve chosen. Live with it.” Of Andrew Little " He’s lying about something."
From The Spinoff.

So when I hear of students being encouraged to use GPT in college I don’t hear innovation. I hear cognitive atrophy, the inability to think critically for oneself, and total dependence on vulnerable centralized repositories of data for knowledge without ever understanding how knowledge is generated.

👏 great news!

Thinking about these things is such a gift for those left behind as well

So uninspiring! 😔

Aotearoa, New Zealand. You have till midday today (Saturday ) to vote in the local body elections . You can still register to vote and do a special vote today before midday. Please head to your local City Council website and find out how and where to vote. #elections #NZ #Aotearoa

Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone around Aotearoa New Zealand who is currently still trying to extricate their local government voting forms from under their cat. 🫶

“I really want people to know that no one is immune to this, anyone can get long Covid. I didn't think it would happen to me.” Read it and weep:

That’s a hard but important read. The devastation that long covid causes to young people’s lives.

Oh no!

last day to vote tomorrow at noon beautiful people 🙂

All the best for treatment! 🌻🌷

Never thought I'd say this. It's
gonna be harsh and might
give you angry feelings when
you see it. I've come
up with one simple life rule:
Never ever (I know you're
gonna, but please don't)
let yourself feel stupid when
you look at the first words
down the left side of this post

#Medsky🧪 #IDSky #Cardiosky #publichealth In highly symptomatic #LongCOVID patients, POTS is a common comorbidity,with prevalence rates as high as 31% reported in recent studies. The clinical impact is significant, leading to severe disability, reduced QOL, considerable diagnostic & financial burdens

Many of us with chronic illness are stuck in survival mode.

It’s a vicious cycle that can make you sicker, but then the sicker you get the harder it is to get out of survival mode.

It’s one of the reasons we must learn to pace, to rest and to unplug.

It’s ok to take breaks. Rest is resistance!

Today's ridiculous announcement from the National Party penalizing young people and their families had me thinking of this meme again

Love all the colours 😍

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms

Thanks, me too!

You’re not helping me look forward to my flight on Tuesday with the kids in tow 😂

And why we tend to keep it all a bit quiet because we can’t handle the disbelief. Hope your crash doesn’t last too long this time 🌷🌻

Great news! We have already hit our goal of $1000 for the mask bloc. Thank you everyone for your support.
