forms.office.com/Pages/Respo… my cousin in year 12 is doing a survey for her social studies class on lowering the voting age. She wants me to share it on my massive Twitter platform, only 3 questions on the voting age so don't be a dick by ignoring it

I don’t know the ins and outs of the Johnny vs Amber saga but I do know he has a massive PR campaign ongoing to place him in positive light.

I lived in St. John’s for a couple years — it isn’t just the building that are colourful, it’s the people!

My historic picture today is downtown St. John’s where the Royals visited this week. The Queen’s oldest son and his wife were in town to meet with the Prime Minister of Canada. I cannot believe it has been ten years since I have been in there now. It is a very colourful city.

This is by far my favourite thing Budget 2022: pass on of child support payments to beneficiary carers! Advocated for this on my years of working on child poverty. Bringing child support out of the 1950s!!! stuff.co.nz/national/3005929…

Hidden in the Budget - the end of 'parent tax'

Around $150m in child support each year was being intercepted by the Government, instead of going to sole parents and their kids.

They found the cause of SIDS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF SIDS Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is misleading to say that we have found the cause of SIDS; one study has identified an enzyme that might be a potential biomarker for SIDS vulnerability (correlation not causation). The correlation is statistically significant but relatively weak. twitter.com/ColdOneder/sta… twitter.com/jellybeySLP/st… twitter.com/ColdOneder/sta… The study itself: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35533499/

Man, it's been an appalling couple of weeks to be a woman

OPINION: Despite women’s rights and female equality coming far in the last 100 years, there are weeks when what’s happening in society just makes you want to scream or cry,
