The Stats Guy: 5 years on, this is how Australia changed since Covid. In the past 5 years, Australia recorded 942,000 deaths — 100,000 more than pre-pandemic. Of these, 20,000–30,000 are considered “excess deaths due to Covid.” Source: archive.md/tjQ0U

It’s absolutely fascinating how each time I post a scientific article that shows clearly that #CovidIsNotOver I get a little flurry of people blocking me. I get that it’s terrifying but is blocking me the answer? Are people THAT determined to avoid knowing? Does this happen to anyone else?

It’s three years today since this fabulous human died, from something that was completely curable and easily diagnosed. She knew what was wrong but she died thanks to #MedicalMisogyny. Five children are orphans and the government are paying to support them. So much easier to just #BelieveWomen.

I am much stupider for having read this transcript. Don’t do it.

Jimmy Kimmel is giving a heartening monologue. Here it is youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

I am RIDICULOUSLY excited.

Gee, this is a fucking surprise NOT!!!!!! It’s a really shitty day, eh?

Why the FUCK should (famous) abusive men get “therapy” as an alternative to prison? Get help by all means but you didn’t abuse and traffic women because you needed therapy. You did it because you are an entitled, abusive, arrogant shit who should be in jail like any other man would be. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Rampant, unchecked cissexuality both restrains your choices & IS a choice. The genocidal impulse to remove reminders of actual liberation - sex or gender liberation - from your awareness up to and including eliminating actual people so that you don't have to face your own feelings is not "natural."

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

An important reminder as too many of us think that Covid is either gone, or we're magically immune. Pay attention. #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #LongCovid #auspol

If you need a break from doom and a quick input of staggering beauty, try my Tropaleum tricolour. We call her Audrey because of her incredible growth rate. #Gardens

Someone on here recommended this book and it’s lovely. I had made a resolution not to read anything else written by a white, English speaking man, but I’m glad I broke it.

Like homophobia and transphobia, fat phobia is not actually actually a phobia at all. It’s not a *fear* of fat people (or trans people or gay people). It’s HATRED and CONTEMPT for anyone who doesn’t fit inside capitalism’s strictly enforced hegemonic hierarchy of patriarchy and consumption.

Imagine! 😑 Fat phobia is a sick embedded language of racial capitalism and tools like BMI have legitimised its violence.

A Public Hospital in our multicultural country treats child victims of Major trauma no matter their ethnicity dared to plan a talk about the effects of war on children. Australia is a sovereign state yet we are being silenced by the pro Israeli Zionists.

Ruin a song by adding the word 'literally' to the title: Literally The Worst Person Alive (Hard to know who this would be tho. So many in the running)

My god, he just makes me sick. So glad i didnt vote for him. Never will www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The perfect eulogy for Charlie Kirk.

I just read a piece about how depressed (white) Utah denizens are that the shooter was “one of them” and…I truly wonder what it’s like to live in blissful delusion up until a particularly violent moment such as the one we all witnessed on the 10th.

I too survived the 1970s. Just. I was groomed and abused for 3 years by a man in his 40s. I watched my school friends become the targets of our male teachers. So many of them it was a joke amongst the boys - whether they could get a girl that a teacher hadn’t first. Everyone knew.

Amy’s article has been taken down by a cowardly tone policing media but this screenshot is a great takeaway. (You can find an archived copy of the article if you look through the comments under the quoted post)

The comments here are funny but all I see is the result of generations of deliberate dumbing down in America, making education elitist, expensive and ‘woke’ so people despise it. And it’s happening here as well. We have maybe 25 years on the US but soon we will all be this stupid.

Saw this on Facebook in a post by Michelle Times.

“In a video message, Trump says he is "filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination", calling it a "dark moment for America"” BBC News It’s different when it’s one of his own, not a child in a school in a place he’s never been to.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

There are many things that can kill your brain cells… infections… multiply exponentially. So it’s nothing like taking a sip of alcohol.

Today is a FINE FUCKING DAY to stop posting screenshots from Twitter, a platform your dumb ass should have abandoned a long time ago. Stop wading in sewage and bringing us the ripest turds.

Would you like to sign (and then share) the petition calling for a National Firearms Register? This reform was first pledged in 1996 and is critical to preventing future tragedies in Australia. There are currently 4 million licensed firearms here, more than before the Port Arthur massacre. #AusPol

I’ve found my place! (There was also Harriet, Maria, Henrietta, Louisa and Elizabeth! ) #Austen

My heart fucking BLEEDS for these money grubbing bastards.

This is what the internet is for. And the fact that someone wants to argue that it’s actually EIGHT days on response to the quoted post is just *chefs kiss* 😂😂

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy

Infants under six months old have the highest rates of #COVID19-related hospitalization save for adults 75 years and older. COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy reduces the risk of severe illness and death. Encourage your patients to protect themselves and their newborns. Learn more: bit.ly/3RWsM3z

research clearly shows that risks can last a long time and there are certain key areas that are most common and these are: neurological, pulmonary and gastrointestinal.

We hear in the press the virus is still mild. Such nonsense, it’s not your initial acute part but what comes after it. These risks last years…🧵

Now overtaken childhood asthma! Not mild. Children need urgent protection! Please take immediate action. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Today was the first time we were publicly laughed at for wearing a mask. It was a boy, about 12/13 or so. We can’t afford for his generation to be 50% disabled and have much lower iq than if they were not repeatedly infected. #WearAMask

"Stop thinking of COVID as if it's an acute cold. Think of it as a neuroinvasive virus you can get every year or two that slowly degrades your brain in ways that will harm your abilities and quality of life throughout your life." (thread with studies)

Please block and report this utterly abhorrent person who seems to have created an account just to harass trans people and post nazi shit. I’ve reported multiple posts.
