2/ Please also check in on those you love.
Even if didn't lose home etc, stress of relocating, worrying about home, community etc regardless of illness/es can be huge.
Additionally can trigger trauma for those previously affected by fires.

Just a heads up. Shipping companies have been marking orders as delivered for their metrics. Please wait a few more days for it to be actually delivered. Please stop insinuating I'm scamming you. I don't control shipping. I'm a small business. I'm not Amazon.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.
