@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy Thanks, it was aaages ago and occasionally I recall it and get mad all over again 😡

@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy when you’re in a position of authority or gatekeeping, telling someone something they have done is illegal is A THREAT. Let’s be real clear here eh

[Mx. Cassie Withey-Rila @CassieMPH]

@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy I called healthline back during omicron to ask if someone in my household could get them bc in high risk. The person on the phone accused me of trying to do something illegal, I shit you not, and I couldn’t get a word in and ended up having to just hang up.

@scoutriver @Catherine_andy @ThisIsCorey But we are just walking around with a script, not a box of drugs unfortunately. Believe me I have pushed that envelope right up against committing fraud with a fake positive test 😣

[Mx. Cassie Withey-Rila @CassieMPH]

@scoutriver @Catherine_andy @ThisIsCorey Yeah I got a letter from my GP saying I was eligible for anti virals here, and if I contract it overseas I should be given it. Of course that was Aus w the reciprocal agreement, so YMMV

Every time you hear a Pākehā stumble over their pepeha it is a reminder that our whakapapa roots take us to the other side of the world. We are unassimilated strangers, yet many of us have been here for generations benefitting from the colonial land grab. #newpaper

@BioethicsCentre @joelmreynolds Great presentation, @joelmreynolds! Just sent an absolute fan-queer of an email abt your slides. 😅 I dont get on this hell-site much any more, but I sure do miss academic twitter and a good ole livetweet sesh. I hope the rest of your visit goes as smashingly as your talk!
