Parents went for 2nd AZ 💉 today and Dr told them a little vaccine tale...
Patient: My daughter told me that if I got the vaccine, she would become infertile.
Dr: What did you say to her?
Patient: Well darling you’ve got two hours to freeze your eggs then! #VaccineTime #CovidNSW

If you’re struggling to find peace, stillness and calm in lockdown, may I suggest as an alternative … pure rage?

May your undiluted fury fuel and motivate you into 2022 – which just happens to be a federal election year. Namaste. 🕊

Thanking the universe for giving me a manager who remembers our team is made of human people working hard in less than ideal circumstances. Mon, I went off an exec who was being unreasonable. Fri, I cried after a meeting when a student DIDNT yell at me. Sat, care package arrived:

Today’s limerick: Vaxxed

So I’ve had my first shot of A-Zed
And spent 24 hours in bed
But suffice it to say
I’d take that any day
Over ICU (or being dead)

@McLarenJen @YvesRees Really enjoyed @m_riwoe latest Stone Sky Gold Mountain. But her book The Fish Girl was amazing and one of the best things I have read in the last few years. And just started the Becky Chambers and Poe for a bit of variety and enjoying them so far.

Japanese head coach Reika Utsugi was a player for Japan in 2000 when it captured silver and in 2004 when it took bronze.

She knows just how difficult the gold-medal moment is to achieve.

The only woman head coach in softball at these Olympics, her team is the Olympic champion.

@Channel7 love your support for womens’ sport on display 🙄 Cutting out the feed to the first #softball gold medal match in 13 years at the bottom of the 7th with two out. Thrilled for Japan 🥇⚾️❤️Would have been wonderful to see the game in full #Tokyo2020

@Asher_Wolf Having lunch with my bestie and mentioned that coming back to work with #endo pain this week was hard cause it was so cold. She suggested I needed an electric throw & on went our lunch. An hour later she appeared at my office with an electric throw for me to have at work!! ❤️😭

@sophluidynamics @ausgov @Eduspokesperson @EduSecretaryAU @EduMediaAU Yes. Yes I can. I am disappointingly not surprised ☹️

@adamliaw I dunno sounds like there are some people looking ahead to a career in the #AFLW if you ask me. Hopefully by then, if they want to, they will able to be a full time athlete! #WomenInSport

Political highlights from @abc730 tonight: “His tax payer funded empathy training” from @latingle AND the empty chair. Give the team a Walkley or two.

@mkasumovic We did something similar when I was at school. Two year 8s for a week (maybe twice a year) collected the roll from all the classrooms at the start of the day. Maybe 20-30min out of class, depending on who it was and how they dragged it out! But not all day in the office...

@dramyburge Not sure if this would be outside the YA space (maybe aimed a little younger?), but read this recently and loved it:

@mkasumovic @mkasumovic I sent this to my cousin for peace of mind and their reply: “Hehe good to know! And good we ain’t spiders!” 😂😂😂 Thank you again 🤗

[Elizabeth Velkou @ElizabethVelkou]

#Science twitter and #entomogy people - what is the bug dragging the dead spider? Could it be a wasp? Location - Lidcombe area in Sydney. My cousin is apoplectic as they have a baby in the house...

[Elizabeth Velkou @ElizabethVelkou]

@mkasumovic Excellent news!! Thank you 😊
