Laid back leftie in North Qld, Aus. Part-timer. Trying my hand at writing a novel. No sense of time - chronic illness has made it irrelevant. A month is like a week to me.
Here to fight the good fight for ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and the world in general.

TW- mental illness
The neglectful way Qld Health treat pw serious mental illness is disgusting. I saw the neglect first hand when caring for a relative who needed the system’s help. My heart goes out to the family in this report.

They want you to be overwhelmed so you don’t fight. Don’t let that happen. Keep fighting. Sending peace and hope from Australia.
Imagine what Trump and Musk are doing that we DON’T know about. Of course we are in a full blown Constitutional crisis. If Republicans had an ounce of courage, they would’ve impeached and removed him already. We must never stop fighting. Onward.

As one of the voters moving away from the ALP towards independents, this does nothing to win me back. What I want most is for the #ALP to listen to why I’m moving away and address those concerns, not to further enshitify the system.

Australia's likely next PM is known as "Thug". He is considered as Australia's answer to Trump.
Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Has just occurred to me that natural disasters have shut down the first week of school in #Townsville for 3 out of the past 6 years.
I wish it had done that even once during my school years in the 80s!! (Minus the disaster part)

I cleaned out the dog treat cupboard because a lot were out of date, mainly due to my mother bringing new treats every visit with no respect for the difficulty of maintaining Labrador weight.
The pig’s ears had no use-by so Charley got one. Don’t believe the face, he is having the best morning.
