@Dogofalltrees @DarksideStraxus I found the article I mentioned in my previous reply.
@Serenity22 @ayankdownunder @Jezibaba reported and blocked here too
@Dogofalltrees @DarksideStraxus actually, an article I read recently indicated the majority of medical science believed it to only be respiratory - so spread through cough/sneeze droplets - and getting the message that there is now an airborne variant through has been difficult even to them.

As NZ's first through the door into 2023, may I be the first to wish you and your family a very happy new year.
It seems an impossible dream, but my wish for the world is to show each other a bit more love.
And may we at #CoSo model it with the MΔori spirit of Aroha (Love).
Our kiddo turned 7 today, it was a long day but he says he's had a good birthday which is awesome. His night ends with the early fireworks on the TV for NYE, and ours not long afterwards π€£
@jc0mm5 π I hope you have a good support network in place.
@bonzo keep your fingers crossed for us.
@hammam I hope you are too.
I really hope so.
@hammam thank you, I'll check it out!
I'm not afraid to admit that I am terrified of the coming years when kiddo gets bigger and stronger.
His meltdown tonight meant a punch in the head to his Dad. He's days away from turning 7 but what will happen when he's a teen?
We need to get better at identifying those triggers before they go from 0-100, and helping him through them so they don't.
gdp is an outdated measurement of a country's wellbeing. π€
'mostly led by women, finland, iceland, scotland, wales & new zealand are all members of the wellbeing economy govts partnership. the coalition, which is expected to expand in the coming months, aims to transform economies around the world to deliver shared well-being for people and the planet by 2040.'
Kept off social media for much of #Christmas.
I hope that whatever you did was something you wanted to do, was relaxing, and fun.
I took barely any photos, I relaxed, and I didn't spend it with any family I didn't want to.
I am at my parents' house. My older sister is here. My #anxiety is through the roof. I don't want to be here.
Saving grace is that the kiddos are at home with my partner making Santa cookies. Only one of us has to be here and it's neither of them
@singlemaltgirl I was able to indulge a few hours ago. Much yum. Very nice. Hooray for kids' birthdays π
I'm currently doing some family admin, which involves submitting invoices for the #NDIS & reading emails from service providers. The #OT have decided to start charging more than the max funded amount, so an out-of-pocket expense for us. It's like #Medicare, and not a fully funded system as I thought.
Can we wear the extra payment financially and continue kiddo's weekly sessions or cut back/cut out these sessions all together. How do I manage this to his maximum benefit?
QUT researchers have found climate change deniers predominantly have right-wing political views, are more likely to be older and relatively less educated.
