Wow.
Trachoma eliminated in Australia.
Amazing work by the Fred Hollows Foundation. If you can support them, please consider it.

Just returning from 6 days of conference and meetings in Sydney. Conference had around 500 people.
I was the only one to #wearaN95mask the whole time. One other person did, but also ate with the group.
This is the largest gathering I've been to in several years, but I felt reasonably confident in my trusty #n95
Time will tell...
That Washington D.C. should be feeling the full effects of #Climatechange #ClimateCatastrophe today is highly appropriate.

The only way to stop a dictator is with violence. An uprising. A revolution.
I don't think the American people understand that they're living in a #TrumpDictatorship

No, no...according to this bloke he had six PACKS...maybe six packs of loaves and six of fishes? That's how he fed all those people?
When you realise that someone you've known for 40 years, who you considered a close friend, actually isn't. Probably never has been.
That.

Good morning from down under!
Just met up with a UK friend who was visiting here. Was until recent retirement an anaesthetist in the NHS, and did many, many intubations in the early days of the pandemic.
Talking about whether or not we would go on a cruise, I said I couldn't ever do that because of #COVID19. She said, oh that wouldn't bother me.
We went to see a play, I wore a #N95 mask. The usher also wore a mask. No one else did. Packed house. 🤷♀️

Thank you. This is an excellent explanation of ANDV and the current situation.

So, I posted something on Instagram, which I very, very rarely do, and tagged it at Sydney airport.
Now?
Now my Instagram timeline (or whatever it's called) is filled with Sydney-centric posts. I live in Melbourne. I couldn't give a rats about Sydney (sorry, Sydneysiders!).
I guess I should not be surprised.
Sigh.
I can't stop crying about the death of #SamNeill
I think what is making this even more upsetting is the fact that Trump still has a pulse, but Sam is dead.
Further proof, were it needed, that there is no god, no benevolent being, no nothing. There's nothing. If there were something, it would be the other way round.
To the idiots who desecrated two war memorials on the eve of Anzac Day.
GO & LEARN SOME HISTORY, YOU IGNORANT IDIOTS.
I abhore war, hate it with a passion, but #WW1 happened. It's a fact. My grandfather and his brother fought and were injured. #AnzacDay is about remembering their bravery & to thank them and all of those who fought for our freedom.
I sincerely hope you're caught & jailed until you understand what you've done.
Lest We Forget.

But it is an anomaly, because it's the only murder perpetrated by #ICE that will bring people out onto the streets, because she was white.
They'll lay flowers and light candles, they won't actually change anything, but it will bring them out.
That people in the US still can't see the dictatorship is just astonishing.

Morning! Yes!! The ads, oh my god, 4 out of every 5 posts is an advert, and they are definitely becoming more bizarre as well.
Everything Zuck touches turns to shite.
Screaming, obviously distraught child at the airport.
What is wrong with you people that you let your child become so distraught?
Sitting in a posh Sydney hotel for work conference. Have been to various bars and restaurants over the past few days here. Yet to sit in a comfortable chair.

Hello!
Apologies for my language, but I'm so angry about this. It's sensless & really does show the perpetrators don't understand the significance of ANZAC Day.
I also absolutely appreciate your sentiment. That's horrific. We expected that all of this behaviour had gone, but it was just hiding for a while.
Meanwhile, we also have biscuits (cookies!) to commemorate the day of the Gallipoli landings. https://anzacspirit.com.au/blog/anzac-biscuits

So, if the Knights Templar International say their support in 2016 contributed to Trump wining the presidency, doesn't that constitute foreign interference?
I mean, it's in their name - International.

I had a couple of short lapses, but generally felt fairly safe. No one there was overtly sick, from what I could see, but we all know that doesn't mean a thing!

I had to explain to my GP, when he looked something up while I was there, that he needed to ignore the top results as they are AI and can't be trusted to be accurate.
He didn't know that.
I hope your p-i-l are ok.

Ah, #Brexshit
The gift that keeps on giving.
Waking up that morning in June 2016 & seeing the results on the TV is firmly etched on my brain. I said out loud, to anyone in earshot, "what the fuck have the idiots done?".

Also a reminder that you can only develop shingles if you've had chicken pox / varicella-zooster.
In addition, #COVID19 has been shown to re-activate dormant viruses like varicella, which is why there appears to be (well, there is) more shingles around than prior to COVID.
Why can I no longer see other timelines in here? I used to be able to switch between my timeline, then other local timelines then another one but I can't remember what it was called.
Why are things changing so much in @Mastodon@mastodon.social #Mastodon ??

To be fair, it wasn't my landlord that thought of the bigger number, it was the estate agent who bullied them into thinking of the bigger number.
