Late Twitter adopter, passionate about politics. Social egalitarian. I believe policy without empathy is just cruelty with extra steps.

Unable to sleep, just looping over & over in my mind about this. If anyone is in #Brisbane & is concerned about which (private) school this is, you’re welcome to dm me & I’ll let you know.

My young daughter was touched sexually by a fellow student. He’s allowed to remain, she’s been home & feels ostracised by peers & unsupported by teachers who encouraged her to have ‘compassion’4 him. What has she learned at 13? That institutions will protect predators. #MeToo

5) They lack empathy and good moral character. Telling someone to "hide under a rock" who may be at risk or just trying to protect fellow humans is straight up is sociopathic.

I read comments like this & know everything I need to about their character. Yikes & no thanks.

NO ONE SHOULD BE AT RISK OF INFECTION SEEKING MEDICAL CARE

NO ONE.

“SARS2 will likely become endemic, seasonal, no worse than a cold” etc

Sure fine, that’ll be great. Let me know when it has (rather than being the mass disabling, heart attack inducing, brain damaging virus it is now).

Then I’ll stop taking precautions.

Hey @Delta how come your FA on flight DL315 made me turn my personal HEPA off for the last 15 minutes of the flight? It’s been fine for the last 30k miles I’ve flown. Is there a policy against clean air?

Evidence Israel killed 500 people in a hospital in Gaza:
- They said beforehand they were going to do it;
- They’re the only “side” with weaponry capable of doing it;
- They told those in the hospital to immediately leave because they were going to do it;
- Their senior leaders tweeted both before and after the attack that they’d done it.

Evidence Israel did NOT kill 500 people in a hospital in Gaza:
- They said afterwards they didn’t, and deleted tweets saying they’d done it.

Media response:
- Wow this is all so confusing, no way can anyone work out what’s happened here.

@1goodtern Fascism demands compliance and people are protecting themselves by not poking the unhinged people when they say dangerous things, because violence often follows.

[Cat Herding Science Nerd @catladyactivist]

I don't understand why anybody would fight #CleanAir

You WANT to breathe pollution? You WANT to breathe what other people are expelling from their lungs? You WANT to inhale viruses that could cause chronic illness?

Are you fighting to drink poop water, too? E.Coli debt?

Random thought, but in retrospect, in 2018, I’m pretty sure not a single person got the answer right to “where do you see yourself 5 years from now”

[Chris DeGroot 🚲 @ct_degroot]

Interesting how people report having the “flu” when they are sick now.

I monitor wastewater and the level of influenza is minimal right now. COVID on the other hand is very high. It’s COVID. You probably have COVID.

[Cat Herding Science Nerd @catladyactivist]

Bars & restaurants switching to carryout for a few weeks 3 years ago wasn't a lockdown.

School closures lasted 3 months. Kids make it thru that fine every summer.

Elites want us convinced that any deviation from the grind is catastrophic because they don't want us to wake up.

[lizwhatsherface @RealGayArbys]

Hey girl! So I know I ignored you for years and pretended you didn't exist! And muted you for my health so that I could have fun on that cruise! I know you're obsessed with Covid, and YOU'RE IN LUCK cause I'm ready to care! Where are all the treatments? I'm ready to get well! 💕

[dirrhope @dirrhope]

when i read the scientific papers about SARS-CoV-2 i get really, really scared

this virus (viruses) and this disease is just so, so much worse than even the more cautious people are telling us

the evidence is overwhelming and i keep getting brushed off by the ppl in my life

[lizwhatsherface @RealGayArbys]

The worst part of my life was when I could not go to the restaurant. It made me feel very abnormal and scared. Now I can go to the restaurant as much as I want. It makes me feel very normal and assured that things are fine.

[lizwhatsherface @RealGayArbys]

What in the revisionist hell is going on here? There was a short time where some businesses were closed. Schools closed for a few months. We were told to stay home. But no one locked you in your house. The national guard never stood outside your door. You were never "locked" up.

[lizwhatsherface @RealGayArbys]

The way people genuinely seem to think Americans were locked in our homes during 2020, the way people genuinely misremember the guidelines from this time period, is beyond belief to me. What the fuck is happening with this? Most people didn't even stay home! They went out A LOT!

[tern @1goodtern]

Doctors who say "they're bound to catch it somewhere" about their patients as an excuse for not masking...
No, it's literally you and schools that are driving everything else, and the people coming to you are the most vulnerable, and maybe they've changed their lives to avoid catching it elsewhere and you, *you* should be keeping them safe, YOU are the one denying them the possibility of not catching it by your own callous incaution. Graaarrrggh.

[Andrew Sparling @awsparling]

@patmillerny1 @MLS_Dave Right. And people don't think in terms of path dependency. Hint: you may have been low-risk to start with, but once you have diabetes, you're high risk, and once you pick up kidney failure, your risk has gone way up again.

[Patricia Miller @patmillerny1]

@awsparling @MLS_Dave Diabetes after the 3rd infection, Chronic Kidney Disease after the 5th infection...
but each case of Covid was mild. JFC , do they even hear themselves?

Like AIDS, the initial HIV illness isn't the biggest problem, ★it's the illnesses that follow★
