Tragically curious generalist BA Humanities. Chronic illness is more prevalent than you know Can easily be distracted by cheese & Sci-Fi

@Ryan_Daigler 💯 my abuser has ‘won’ 2 court cases, the process was a joke. Now they’re full of themselves, but this is when they’ll make mistakes. Arrogance will brink them down, and old age. Ironic things are already starting to happen, they just don’t see it yet. Their power is ebbing.

@ibdgirl76 PAIN DOES MAKE YOU DECLINE! Physically you can’t do all the things you used to do, affects your sleep, thus affecting your mental state making it extremely difficult to heal. This is sadistic & if the plan was for ppl to die quicker, then these sickos are succeeding.

Laws to strip women of abortion rights in SA were defeated last night, due to the tireless work of advocates fighting to protect access to healthcare.

But it was shameful to see Labor Premier Malinauskas vote alongside right-wing MPs to trample abortion access.

New study. In some people, a mild case of COVID seems to leave a hidden edit in how their cells manage their own RNA - and it doesn't fully reset once the virus is gone. Another possible clue to why some bodies don't bounce back the same. 🧵

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@envidreamz Yes, there are some really crazy things happening & you think, can’t anyone see this? Am I the only one noticing something is very off? At least there’s ppl here discussing this very thing.

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@envidreamz Yes I feel so sorry for everyone. Those not affected keep the propaganda going, making it extremely difficult for all of us debilitated by this 🦠 but that’s the plan, minimise the harm, make it the individual’s fault & those responsible won’t have to pay compensation.

Please go back to the offices.
You are upsetting the finances of the billionaires.

Everyone knows we “coexist” with H5N1 in pets & humans now, right? It seems the US hit like 70 human cases & quit counting. We haven’t reported a human case all year as it quietly spreads like wildfire.

We’ve been warned this is coming FOR YEARS, but public health is dead now.

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@envidreamz Thank you. It means a lot, I thank you too ☺️

“They reinforce the very belief system that keeps us all trapped in this nightmare”

Yes they do. They make it continue. It’s only now as a woman over 60 I’ve finally come to terms w/ ppl doing that. I repeated what I’d learnt in my family, that my mother had unconscious 1/11

[Envidreamz @envidreamz]

It’s soul crushing to watch this continue to unfold as the mom of a July 2020 born child.

Even when the parents or the children themselves develop Long Covid, they twist themselves into knots denying it, blaming everything else under the sun while burying the truth deeper and deeper.

They reinforce the very belief system that keeps us all trapped in this nightmare. It’s infuriating.

Why can’t anyone just admit they have Long Covid?
The silence is deafening, and the cost is everything we’ve already lost.

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@envidreamz I’m sorry to hear that. An all too familiar story. 💔❤️

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@JamesThrot It’s provocation. Studies don’t have to be done on something that obviously causes ill health & destruction. I don’t know, should I drink arsenic or wait till there’s a study done. Reminds me of the misinformation & tactics that occurred during the smoking debates.

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

@envidreamz I feel your heartache of having a child not understand the danger they’re in & siding w/ the others. My sibling is ‘looking after’ our elderly mother, despite her negative behaviour, I can’t stand to see she’s now ill treated, she won’t see it. My own health now takes precedence.

@brownecfm @michael_hoerger I’ve noticed the number of road accidents on the freeway increase. Every day there’s an accident, every day the traffic has slowed to a crawl. I’ve had to leave far earlier in the morning to get where I’m going. Traveling time has greatly increased.

So, let's recap, shall we?

This week the @PressClubAust managed to:

* cancel at the last minute, the questions and subsequent presence of renowned journalist Margo Kingston, who’d travelled over 2 days to Canberra to ask her question of Pauline Hanson – and yes, they were questions initially requested and organised by the Press Club itself 9 days ago.

* cancel the press gallery membership of long-term journalist, Greg Jericho, allegedly because he works for the @TheAusInstitute. Although Greg has been employed by the Aust Institute for 4 years, his membership cancellation only came yesterday after he publicly called out the Canberra press gallery - which is of course a highly fortuitous coincidence and not at all connected to his criticism.

* somehow allowed a person or persons unknown to enter the Press Club premises and put up a 3 metre wide electronic banner, without anybody in the Press Club noticing them doing it. How several people enter a private club carrying something that large, then proceed to wire it up on an open stage and nobody at the premises noticed in any way, is yet another display of the NPC’s staggering incompetence.

* release an unnecessarily detailed, high-school level statement about said banner incident, a statement that reeks of defensiveness and hysteria, while also prejudicially naming an alleged culprit and arguably sinking to the bottom of the barrel in terms of the journalistic standards it supposedly represents. Read it below and remind yourself that people who work with words for a living wrote that.

* allowed the speaker, Pauline Hanson, to defame one of their own - a journalist from the Guardian who dared to ask a hard-hitting question - by calling her "trash". This was only weeks after calling the same journalist a "nasty bitch". Mirroring, Trump’s “Quiet piggy” incident, the journalist's alleged colleagues all sat mute, as did the moderator, Tom Connell from Sky News during the abuse. No rebuke, no blow-back, no support for their fellow journalist, standing alone under Hanson's hissing vitriol. Just pusillanimous silence.

The National Press Club outdid their already dubious reputation this week, spraying themselves in a spectacular shower of self-inflicted shit – wall to wall, dripping effluent.

Australians currently suffer some of the most timid, captured political journalism in the western world, and if the actions of the #NPC this week are the metric, then we can all see why.

What a national and international embarrassment of an organisation meant to serve as a vital democratic institution and a cultural conscience – and one that has offered us neither.

…for them. We will continue to alert society & hopefully someone will listen, but sacrificing our own health & sanity - NO, no more.
Thank you for your wonderful words, for ppl such as yourself & @1goodtern who are wise & compassionate, a joy to read all you’ve written. 11/11

[PolycatV @PolycatV]

I will interact w/ people such as yourself & @1goodtern , ppl that won’t allow other’s fear & viciousness to dictate their lives anymore. We are sad that ppl we love will not see the destructive pattern they’re in, & even use us as scapegoats, but we cannot be responsible 10/11
