Hello to any new folks/followers on my page! My skeets are mostly about my life and interests, note they might at moments veer into the horny. 😋🔞
I'm highly concerned about the direction of mankind and often vent about it.

They're really on a roll this week. 🙄😝 I'm kinda surprised they didn't do a local time release. Whenever it goes live I'm guessing the servers are going to crash. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We'll see!!

There is no better dressed MP in Parliament than Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan and he NEVER wears a tie.✌️👍🥰

I think it's just a discussion now, replacing him with Chris Bishop

In case you're curious to read the whole thing, it's fairly readable for something so academic, you can read the article here:
www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused ...

Looks like civilian has annual checking, which is similarly rubbish.

Zoë Irene 😷❤️🦈 @getcaughtliving.bsky.social · 8h

Seems with the VA (veterans) they review every 5 years, although that may only be if they suspect changes. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still waiting to find out still about the progress for civilian disability, at least in Illinois.

Honestly unsure, I'm asking a friend. It is likely very different from state to state though.

Zoë Irene 😷❤️🦈 @getcaughtliving.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah, not sure. I like Jan Tinetti here pretty well, but not sure if she'd want it.

Zoë Irene 😷❤️🦈 @getcaughtliving.bsky.social · 9h

It's so horrible and just meant to punish people with disabilities as far as I can see

Zoë Irene 😷❤️🦈 @getcaughtliving.bsky.social · 9h

I'm sorry for your colour loss 😞

If National can get rid of Chris Luxon, SURELY Labour can get rid of Chris Hipkins.... ?!?!!? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Gross. I still understand needing to prove it the first time, but more than once is horrible if that's the case here. And anyone with a permanent disability should never ever ever need to prove it's still there once proven the first time. 🤬

The best time to start masking in public was when covid started. The next best time to start is now.

Sean Mullen, Ph.D. @drseanmullen.bsky.social · 12h

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

Members of the media, Chicago police officers on the scene for crowd control, and the broader nearby community were also exposed to the tear gas.

There are thousands of studies showing the long term health risks to people posed by COVID-19.

Any rational person would look at this data and pause for thought.

I think we aren’t doing that because we aren’t very rational at the moment.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

Those of us living with complex chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”.

Once people heard that Covid was “only a risk to the vulnerable” they couldn’t wait to drop precautions.

That’s eugenics.

The vulnerable matter too.

Also, it’s a risk to everyone

Matthew Cortland (they) @matthewcort.land · 13h

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

Sheeeeesh, this is wild. Unfortunately the plant based protein powders seem to be the least safe in general. 😞

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 17h

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
