The women of Ireland are fed up.

From our grandmothers, educated in Latin and the catechism, but not about menstruation, locked up whether they fell prey to a neighbour or ‘chose to commit a mortal sin’, as if either were crimes, as if they deserved a life in an institution.

@MillJeSuis Just got my booster too!

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@MillJeSuis Hotter than Toowoomba Milly!!

Extremely taken aback by @tcddublin decision to close @SciGalleryDub. Now, more then ever, an outlet like this - interpreting academic research to reach a wide audience - should surely be a priority. This is a terrible decision. https://t.co/ClhvJuxcuk

@sibmcg @mrJeffHowell @coughlthom Yes the pub/restaurant distinctions were absolutely bizarre. Hope business is booming for him now!!

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@mrJeffHowell @coughlthom Should be 2021, obviously!

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@mrJeffHowell @coughlthom Ireland was in the equivalent of level 4 for 8 weeks in 2020, and then in the equivalent of level 3 (ie 5km limit, no gatherings, only contactless delivery or takeaways) for a total of 7 months across 2020 and 2022. I lived there until July this year

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@mrJeffHowell @coughlthom It was grim especially given Irish weather 😂

@ServicesGovAU Hi there, I have not received anything other than confirmation that my application has been received.

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@ServicesGovAU hi there, I enrolled in Medicare for the first time in July and still haven't received the card etc. Tried calling the helpline but no luck. How can I find out progress? Thanks

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@MillJeSuis @elesebdowden I don't know! Thrilled if it is Australian. And no T-baer is decently sized (bigger than NP 🙌)

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@MillJeSuis @elesebdowden I've not actually thought of best foods since I left NZ. I wonder if the supermarket here has it...

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

@elesebdowden @MillJeSuis I agree 😎

[Elspeth Hocking @HockingElspeth]

Our timing is... impeccable

New South Wales is recording record cases, Victoria is in lockdown, people are dying and an economic crunch is coming
