In one century medical research and vaccines have doubled life expectancy. Politicians who harm trust in medical science are unfit for public office.

The fox appears in the folklore of many cultures and is associated with cunning and tricks or as a familiar animal possessed of magic powers #FolkloreThursday Silk embroidered fox by Helen Richman, professional hand embroiderer, UK #WomensArt

I don't know much but I know this: the older you get, the faster the number of things you're willing to wait in line for approaches zero

Denial is among the most immature and destructive of human traits. Yet it is all around us: Denial of antisemitism Denial of Islamophobia Denial of climate breakdown Denial of democratic breakdown. We should put away childish things and face our monsters.

Meeting with the Cuban Ambassador today about the humanitarian crisis occurring as a result of the US blockade. Hospitals are losing power, schools are closing down, and food is becoming scarce. The world should unite against this.

Picard management tip: Used sparingly, some light swearing can help emphasize your damn point.

Are unenforced laws simply suggestions? #AskingForTheWorld

Goodnight all. So much to say but too damn tired to say it. Let me just say, peace and equality for every living being. Hope to wake up and read you all tomorrow xxx

I’m always curious. Aren’t you? When you are walking, don’t look at your phone. Honestly, you are missing so much! I say this with love x

Germander speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys, bears the old names Bird’s-eye, Cat’s-eye, Eye of the Child Jesus, Farewell and Goodbye. A wayside flower, speedwell was said to speed travellers safely on their way; in Ireland it was sometimes sewn into clothing for luck and protection.

If corporations can donate millions to politicians, it’s not democracy, it’s a subscription service for power. Ban political donations. Fund elections publicly. One person, one voice, not one dollar, one vote. #SocialistSunday

In 1 week, Beijing dumped a record-breaking amount of US Treasury bonds. A deliberate strategy to shield from US sanctions & aggressively weaken the US dollar's dominance. If China continues this massive selloff, US borrowing costs will explode, triggering inflation & crushing American consumers.

I have feelings for you but you have to guess which ones

I would love to see an egalitarian society. Equal rights for all. Strong redistribution of taxes and even stronger social safety nets. I can’t see anything wrong with this approach at all. 🤷‍♀️

We desperately need to raise the floor with a UBI, and have a wage system that allows full time workers to be be able to cover rent or buy a house. We can still have wealthy people but they, and corporations need to pay their fair share. And not GST, that only harms low income people more.

Goodnight all x I fell out of bed last night 😬Was trying to get out quickly to get to my cat. I certainly was surprised when I landed on the floor as I already have two crushed vertebrae. After the initial shock, I started singing Talking Heads song 🎶 How did I get here? All okay after a 🫨😳🤷‍♀️😅Lucky!

Life is not fair. Why do kids get cancer? Why do good people get hurt? Why do bad people become world leaders? Why do innocent families get bombed? Why do millions end up becoming collateral damage in a war of pride and ideology? I don’t know. Sometimes, all I can do is sit in the rubble.

Pauline Hanson will not build one school, one hospital or one train station. If you don't like people who are different from you, she will help vent your misguided resentment. That's it. Nothing to make your life better in any tangible way, or that of your children.

Much, much more of Pocock and much, much less of Poorline! #auspol Intelligence and foresight in the House of Review (Senate) NOT dumbfuckery and racist theatrics! #FFS #VoteIndependent (after checking their credentials)

Goodnight all, my back is killin’ me, so a podcast awaits. Sweet dreams x

Two dumb policy decisions are failing the nation. Subsidies for home buyers in a distorted market and throwing $Bs at the crumbling AUKUS fiasco. We must focus on smart govt interventions not warmongering and failed neoliberal policies.Scrap AUKUS and build public housing!

The goalposts are always moving. I’ve walked away from the game. I thought my life would change when I became super thin as a teen. It was still me, starving.
