Random thoughts from a mid 50s male

1. The rapist probably didn't wear a condom

2. Condoms don't always work

3. Child abusers don’t wear condoms

4. She probably didn't think at the time that it could kill her

5. None of your business

6. All of the above

7. 5. Is probably the correct answer

Important announcement from NSW health.

This really makes me scream, our mental health system is in crisis. To all the wonderful nurses, doctors, counsellors, pyschologists & social workers filling the gaps thank you.

Mental health matters 🙌

It's ironic that this is not actually a joke.

In most cases, probably worse. Physical exhaustion is relatively easily dealt with, whereas emotional exhaustion is much more compounding.

If you're talking specifically the US, then ☹️ it's probably going to be beyond the reach of too many. It's an expensive, very expensive procedure at the moment.

Fortunately many other places have excellent universal healthcare.

Your also never going to get the *all* option...there's never going to be an *all* option that will get funded. 🙄

Small wins are better than no wins.

That's not an excuse for not doing better, but a drug that is quite effective and can have a significant impact on the lives of a significant number of women is also nothing to be ignored.

There is still no reliable screening test for pancreatic cancer, testicular cancer (although changes are relatively easy to detect...🤷🏻), ovarian cancer (already noted), many lung cancers, cervical cancer (without invasive screening).

Most decisions on screening come down to risk/reward/cost.

This is right near where Archie finally reunited with his family. A fitting location.

Statues of music legends Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter unveiled at a Melbourne park
The statue is in Atherton Gardens, Fitzroy, known to many in Victoria's Aboriginal community as a gathering place and where members of the Stolen Generations reunited with their families.

This is a big issue.

But on every issue it seems Albanese and Labor get some sort of free pass because the alternative might be "somewhat more shit".

I'm astounded so many people accept a bar that is so low.
