Despite best efforts of many brilliant minds, government funding for Long Covid in many countries seems to continually be directed towards studying ‘lifestyle’ & ‘wellness’ factors. — As someone who has had relapsing-remitting MECFS for 12 yrs, I can share a few experiences:🧵1/6

Yet again, high profile men go after woman who, after surviving appalling trauma, goes on to become Australian of the Year, works tirelessly to educate the community about said crime, but has the temerity not to conform to the men’s expectation of how such a woman should behave.

If anyone in Melbourne is looking for super quick test results just go to the MCG.

I’ve actually never felt more frightened for my industry. And after this week, I just felt compelled to explain why.

I'm glad the schools are re-opening, but I'm not glad this lockdown hasn't been used to prioritise the vaccination of teachers.😤

[Adam Voigt @adam_voigt]

I cringe, but I can tolerate folk mixing up “home schooling” and “remote learning”.

But this “days of schooling lost” crap can bugger off. It’s a lie and it’s disrespectful to our teachers. Stop it!

Not surprising and not okay! AFL appear to get the inside word on what’s happening with lockdowns before the general public are told a thing!

[Emily Fintelman @mrsfint]

Now that school staff aren’t allowed at work with symptoms (aka are sick!), the MULTITUDES of teachers not coming to work at the moment says a lot about how much teachers usually work through sickness. Normally we just hear “it’s easier to come to work than to prep for a CRT”.

Word of the day (on repeat) is the 17th-century ‘latibulate’: to hide oneself in a corner in an attempt to avoid reality.

Great to have this being discussed on a big stage. Fingers crossed for some tangible progress 🤞🏼

[Alice Leung @aliceleung]

This afternoon I gave evidence at the #GallopInquiry on the increasing complexity of teaching due to advances in technology and demands of data analysis. As such, teachers need more time AND be remunerated accordingly to reflect this.

Two-time World MotoGP Champion Casey Stoner opens up about living with #mecfs: "[I] struggled to get out of bed and get to the couch. Because people can't see it, it's not a physical element that people can see, so people aren't taking it as serious.” https://t.co/rXayUJcbV0

What we woke up to this morning from the @heraldsunsport vs. what should’ve hit the paper…great to see the @SuperNetball GRAND FINAL is #1 on their agenda…

Regardless, we’re #DoingItForVIC and good luck to our friends at the @GeelongCats and @Richmond_FC this weekend!!👊🏼🤩

[Bianca Chatfield @biancachatfield]

Hey @DanielAndrewsMP, Sunday is a big day in Melbourne! You’re updating us on restrictions & @MelbourneVixens are playing in the @SuperNetball grand final. Any chance the presser on Sunday could be an early one?? So no one misses out. Game starts at 1pm @9Netball #doingitforvic

[Prof Rae Cooper @Raecooper1]

Women have lost the majority of jobs and hours in #COVID19. They have been the frontline of the crisis in health, education and retail (and in their own families). They deserved better than they have been treated by government in #budget2020. 😳 #disappointed #again
