But your conclusion is that the language we're using is at fault?
Blame the right people, it's the Conservatives.

I'm disabled.I frequently pass as not disabled, but I am. I don't love being disabled. I don't even like it. Learning limits, pacing and resting sucks, and implementing them sucks more.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Me: no, but close.
Her: ok, there is a van here and a man staring and I hoped it was you.

I'm pretty damn certain our 'MSM' including the ABC spent the last few years telling us JobSeeker recipients were lazy bludging sods, Hell bent on stealing taxpayers' money, who deserved to be hunted down to face the full force of the law.
Just my observation. #RobodebtRC

This is jarring. “The 40% rise in death rates is consistent for working-class folks 18 to 64-years-old. ‘Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or 200-year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic levels.’” dailykos.com/story/2022/1/5/…

Non-food grade poppy seeds have incorrectly entered the food supply chain. They are not safe to consume & may cause severe toxicity if consumed in large quantities, e.g. as a tea. If experiencing unusual/severe symptoms, go to Emergency Department. Info: go.vic.gov.au/3NEB7rs
