Am 27 weeks pregnant and have the actual real-life flu and it is *horrendous*. Nurse just told me it would be so much worse if I hadn't got the flu booster a few months ago. 😱

Get vaccinated folks.💪💉

Just learned that notion of an “individual carbon footprint” came from oil giant BP in 2004 ad campaign designed to place blame for the environmental impact on consumers, not corporations.

Not surprised, but feel like I should've known this a long time ago.

You can't be a centrist under a fascist regime. You're either fighting, or facilitating. There's no secret third thing. Except dead, I suppose.

Some good news in these dark times
We were very pleased to get the news today that the Australian National Dictionary Centre will be saved, thanks to an anonymous donation and the halt on involuntary redundancies under the Renew ANU plan. We thank everyone for their generous support through these difficult times.

"The main misjudgment was to persist in using the organisers’ description of the rallies as 'March for Australia' and 'anti-immigration' after it had become obvious the emotional dynamo behind them was racism."

Legacy media needs to call a spade a Nazi.
