I am excited to finally be able to share the "I am an Artist" project I produced for the Bunjil Place Gallery as a local engagement companion to the touring exhibition FEM-Affinity youtube.com/watch?v=h7rifv-L…
EpiPens are toxic in space and NASA didn't know! In fact, a group of elementary school students figured it out. Here's the story 🧵

Dear Indigenous Australia. I’m so sorry - we tried but the lies were too hard to combat. We are united in your collective pain and pledge the largest mobilisation of grassroots volunteers on record ready to go into the next battle. Together. You’re not alone. #Referendum

A few thousand dollars would be enough to buy more of the magical bezoar medicine (aka anti-cancer drugs) that are currently keeping my friend and fellow magical human Tinu Abayomi-Paul ( gofund.me/172c2fb0) in the ‘living’ category. #ForTinu #MutualAid

I have a friend in a big hospital in Melbourne ATM and while trying to visit I got lost and ended up in an obviously empty ward and a nurse wandered by so I asked her why the whole ward was empty and she said it was partly because they can’t get staff as so many medical personnel are on long-term sick lists and partly because there’ve been so many extra deaths in recent years among older people that hospitals are emptier (since older people make up the bulk of hospital admissions) and I don’t know if anything she said is true but if it IS true we’re silently mass-disabling health workers AND killing off the elderly at the same fucking time and getting away with it because RATS don’t work and people now call #COVID19 “flu” and “gastro” instead of what it really is and NOBODY in the mainstream media is talking about any of this madness then holy freaking fuck we’re a terminally fucked-up country. #NewsCorpse

People in the UK are catching Covid, not displaying any signs of respiratory infection, and then they're dying within days or weeks. And because they're not displaying the signs of a respiratory infection, they're not being tested, and covid isn't being attributed as a cause of hospital admission or a cause of death. But it's covid infections that are killing them. Covid is more than just a respiratory virus that causes respiratory illness. This situation is ridiculous.

"Don't you think you're being overly sensitive about this Covid thing?" *checks notes* 📍global excess deaths close to 30M 📍>65 million disabled with no support or treatment "No, I think you're being under-sensitive"

5 rich people lost: World wide news coverage 750 asylum seekers drowning: Silence 😐 Image Description for picture in quote tweet: Blue boat with 750 people tightly packed on 3 deck levels in blue ocean waters with white caps to either side of the boat. #DisabilityTwitter
The Greek coastguard claimed it didn’t intervene when a boat carrying asylum seekers and refugees capsized last week because those on board refused help, leaving as many as 750 people to drown. Activists say Greece delayed aid as those on board pleaded for help for 15+ hours.
