I need to replace my pan that broke and to buy some more groceries. I would be extremely grateful if people could share this link. thank you so much 💚 ko-fi.com/hanslabyrinth

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

Dr Ranj explains the four symptoms required for a diagnosis of ME/CFS: debilitating fatigue, post-exertional malaise (PEM), sleep disturbance and cognitive difficulties. If you’ve had these symptoms for over three months, speak to your GP. Clip from BBC Morning Live.

Who are the terrorists again?

Stop calling employer healthcare a benefit. If you can’t quit without losing your doctor, it’s a leash.

"[...] it’s my view that the Crown’s actions support serious consideration by the Waitangi Tribunal of a rare finding of bad faith. The Crown’s duty of active protection isn’t just being breached in these circumstances — it’s being flagrantly disregarded." — Carwyn Jones.

NZ so far behind Oz. Flu vax recommended for everyone 6 months+ Covid vax recommended for everyone 18 years+ and everyone with a medical condition 6 months+ RSV vax for everyone pregnant, 75 years+ or Indigenous 60 years+ Nasal spray flu vax available for kids in most states. #nzpol

There’s just so many layers to this, weirdly. The song used is KIA ORA by Giwt, an Afrobeats artist based in NZ, and is about him learning te reo as an African immigrant. And now this song is being used by a notorious far-right racist!??

Kia ora e te whānau, I’m sorry to announce that Keir Starmer is appropriating te reo Māori for his cringe TikTok content

This is the article to share. Not that WIRED tripe. Gist: mice injected with long COVID patient antibodies get long COVID. It is an observable biophysical effect.

An absolute nightmare ahead for disabled New Zealanders, especially those with complex or chronic illnesses. The coalition just sees dollar signs, short term savings. But at what cost? #NZpol

Game Changer 👀 #Batteries #PoweringRenewablesTogether

Let’s talk for a minute about why that WIRED article upset so many people with ME/CFS and/or long COVID. If you were lucky enough to avoid having to know about the PACE study, you should know now. The gist: in the 00s, a badly designed clinical experiment ruined lives. me-pedia.org/wiki/PACE_tr...

They call us obstacles to progress. I’m enrolled in the research. My response to WIRED’s “The Painful Truth About Long Covid.” darthfoo.substack.com/p/the-patien... #LongCOVID #MECFS #Wired #PEM #CBT #GET

Awful truth, unknown to 99% of the population... NZ Govt adopted an economic management model in the 1980s that MAKES SURE: 1. We always have tens of thousands of kiwis on the dole. 2. People with work / little work live in abject poverty that keeps them desperate for crap jobs. Why? [🧵 1/n]

The public needs to fully understand the repercussions of giving RFK Jr. access to identifiable medical records from 90% of the U.S. population. He is a eugenicist who wants to “reparent” Black childen, send people with mental illness to “wellness camps”, and to take away anti-depressants.

Landlords are evil. They show not an ounce of mercy Please donate to juniper so they don't get evicted Being homeless is not just soul destroying but also gives you a kind of PTSD you can never return from. Please help juniper

Please consider supporting mine poverty stricken ass

NZ’s finance minister says that yes, we COULD get rid of child poverty but would that really be for the best, don’t these children need the dignity of work in the long term What kind of insane comment is that Record homelessness and child poverty in Aotearoa and this government is just “ehh”

really REALLY funny that this has been a problem since the beginning, we’ve been told again and again “just to wait” and yet here we are biggest decision Hipkins has made as leader is to have his merch line printed by the party only a month or so after LOSING the 2023 election

Filtering the air may help prevent your own infection from becoming more severe If everyone in a household becomes infected with the same virus, does it help to isolate from each other and can you be a danger to yourself? Read on to find out... 🧪🧵1/ #AirQuality #IAQ #Ventilation #Infection #COVID

Whomst among you wants stickers? And to support a disabled person who needs food and mental health care, and regular healthcare ko-fi.com/systemerror

I have started my application for a mental health assessment to fix the diagnosies on my medical file This is gonna cost me 2k so after this goal is reached for food I will be urgently fundraising for this. I need this so I can safely move to a different GP and get care without harsh judgement

“there wasn’t enough good evidence to say that we were uncertain” perfectly captures the Dunning-Kruger mindset of public health and infection control's management class. A field in urgent need of a rectal craniectomy. covid19.public-inquiry.uk/reports/modu...

Start with a very problematic therapy devised by the same person who helped develop conversion therapy, layer on late capitalism, America’s dysfunctional health insurance system, and private equity, and what do you get?

This thread is an absolutely brilliant analogy of how Nicola Willis manages the economy. Laugh cry your way through it #nzpol

Was watching The Addams family last night and this scene came up.

Oh FFS How many times are we going to try to redefine the term "airborne"? Or deny its existence as a significant route of disease transmission? And by "we" I don't mean the aerosol scientists Or the general public I mean WHO, ID, IPAC, Public Health & related influencers

Excellent short doco on ME/CFS in Aotearoa, focusing particularly on ppl with very severe ME. @ghet.bsky.social @nzdodo.bsky.social www.tvnz.co.nz/player/newsc...

“Ebola Is Probably Mostly Not Airborne” Is Good Enough For Us

Marae are emergency infrastructure. So why aren’t they funded like it?

We’ve known this was coming. By 1 May 2028 the NZ copyright term will be extended from 50 to 70 years after death, benefiting a few publishers and ensuring nothing will enter the public domain for 20 years. Worst case, it will be retrospective, clawing back things currently freely shareable.

If any of you could share my post I’d be grateful. 🫶🏼 #Kikorangi

Saturday bonus! Some choice political stickers spotted downtown yesterday… #photography #nzpol #anarchism #wellington He ao rerekē ka taea.

Ta da! Norovirus is airborne. "Results showed vomiting generated substantial aerosols instantaneously, and subsequent cleaning disturbed settled particles, increasing airborne pathogen concentrations by 54% compared with pre-cleaning levels." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In 2016 I was horrified while researching autism provision in Switzerland and France. Many children locked away in hospitals, abused. No census info. Schools telling families that testing for ANY need could only happen after age 10. Children hidden in schools having to mask traits

“It’s the British class system with a climate-crisis spin: the more someone requires air conditioning to survive heatwaves, the less likely they are to be able to afford it.” My col. in today’s paper. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Govt wants to give itself more power over disabled people’s medical information. Buried in a new welfare “modernisation” Bill are provisions allowing MSD to require medical examinations “at any time” while expanding automated decision-making #nzpol Read more: open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

It's so much worse than just automated decision making open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

When Australia did this it cost the federal government millions, ruined untold lives, and drove multiple people to suicide; but sure, let's learn nothing and do Robodebt here too

Our greatest national achievement lately in global affairs is collectively hating on Peter Thiel so much that he gave up building his house here

I was raised the same way. I think you aren’t knowing hate like the hate they feel. You are hating hate. I think there is a core difference between hate and hatred of hate. One is impossible to understand. Why one would hate for no reason, who knows. The other is true compassion.
