Taking a well-being break from online - unplugging from random spaces but connecting with people I care about most

@MaryHow56759262 @JaneCaro Mind numbing lack of empathy @MaryHow56759262 responding to appalling and real suffering with fanciful conspiracy nonsense. You can keep trying to navigate reality this way but it does not serve you well or your fellow human beings.

Rafael Nadal, usually a scrupulous diplomat, very pointed in his verdict on Djokovic's predicament: 'The world has been suffering enough. Get vaccinated. If he wanted, he would playing here in Australia without problems.'

[Gerard Thomas @gerardthomas_1]

NSW risks setting a precedent that leaves vulnerable people behind, with groups warning the double vaccination target of 70% could mask inequity in poorer communities. @ACOSS has been unable to access income bracket breakdown highlighting vaccination rates of the poorest groups,

Our family has declared that TV news without @AlanKohler is sub-optimal. Looking forward to your return and the wonder of your charts.

Ok I’m calling it. #QandA was as dull as dishwater tonight.

I have a smallpox scar on my arm as a visual reminder of the value of childhood vaccinations.

[Emma Alberici @albericie]

Before my family moved overseas we had to ensure all our immunisations were up to date. This has always been a requirement of travel. Also, I gave my children the measles mumps and rubella shots. Are people aware of how horrible those conditions used to be before vaccines?

[Kat Guerin @katguerin]

Repeating myself again because apparently it’s necessary: Covid is no joke. I am (was) a healthy 31-year-old, contracted Covid in May and still today I have debilitating pain and fatigue. It’s not worth the risk, even if you think you’ll be fine if you get it. #LongCovid

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

I’ll follow that lead

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

COVID-19 has deepened the challenges that already existed in addressing gendered violence. A shared vision, adequate resources to prevent and respond and mechanisms to coordinate and report on progress are vital aspects of the future we need to build. I encourage you to sign.

[Fair Agenda @FairAgenda]

Key organisations across the country have come together to jointly call for 12 actions on gendered violence. And they need our support. Head to https://t.co/z11lEjq3dF to sign the open letter.

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)

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

@PeterRo58677006 So what other examples do you have where men unleash gendered words of abuse and then claim the behaviour of women is the explanation for “being spooked in the top paddock”? #GasLighting

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

@PatsKarvelas Really sad to hear of this unjust treatment PK. All power to you as you wade through a sea of abuse and scorn.

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

Through our listening we can change the experience of survivors whose voices have been shut down.

[ACOSS @ACOSS]

Thanks Richard & Christine for sharing your story on @TheTodayShow - highlighting the struggle facing 1.5 million people on #JobSeeker to find work and get by on reduced rate of $50/day #RaisetheRateforGood #auspol

[Peter Murphy @PeterWMurphy1]

Dear PM @ScottMorrisonMP,
As you celebrate Christmas with your wife Jenny & daughters Lily & Abbey,

Spare a thought for Nades & Priya and their daughters Kopika & Tharunicaa, who you continue to hold in detention on Christmas Island. Please let them return #HomeToBilo.🙏 #auspol

[Robert Ellis @EllisrobertRob]

Yessss! I am now a proud patron of The Minimalists on @patreon, and you should be too: #NewPatron https://t.co/HXFoNm5xoU

[NCLS Research @NCLSResearch]

Around three quarters of Australian churches provide emergency relief or material assistance (e.g. food, clothes), according to our 2016 NCLS. In 2020, during COVID-19 restrictions, we encourage your church to continue to support your local community.
