If this was a single case this would be an outrage & a tragedy, but Mencap believe there are hundreds more people in a similar situation.
This is inhumane!

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/labor-medicare-promise-to-make-gp-visits-free-for-most/104969694
Anthony Albanese says he'll make 90% of GP visits free from out-of-pocket expenses by 2030. This is a bargain for the government with a price-tag of only $8.5 billion. It's also a strong, traditional Labor policy for social services.
I'd like to think this is a sign that Albo is getting back to his roots, and announcing policies that will get the approval of the Greens and other left-leaning parties. It's also laying the groundwork for another "Mediscare" campaign in anticipation of Peter Dutton's toxic bullshit.
Boosting funding for bulk-billing will have massive flow-on effects for the general wellbeing of Australians: quality of life, ability to function in school and at work, and therefore a long-term payback for the economy. Anyone arguing against this policy has a deep-seated ideological hatred for "poor people" and knows nothing about the economy — I'm looking at you, Peter Dutton.
Details I'd like to hear more about:
- Mental health care funding got a boost, so it's good to see the government taking this neglected area more seriously.
- Dental health care was not mentioned, and it absolutely needs to be covered by Medicare. Teeth are a vital part of your body that require life-long care and shouldn't be at the mercy of private health insurance.
- GPs got screwed by Scott Morrison when he made a bunch of massive cuts to Medicare. The government will need to coordinate with GPs to make sure they get fair compensation for their work.
- Peter Dutton having a sook, and rolling-out that tired old lie about Labor being wasteful with money.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.
RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".
This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.
This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

LIFE LESSON Over the past 5-10 years, we have collectively been experiencing a relentless influx of chaos. Pivots are seldom pleasant, but facing what seems like an insurmountable number of changes in such a prolonged time can be demoralizing and scary.

we have (like so many other aspects of our society) seemed to have returned to the C19th callousness & brutality while claiming there's no alternative.
There's alway an alternative, we just refuse it!

How to Avoid Outrage Fatigue and Tune In without Burning Out
Outrage fatigue can wear us down—but we can take care of ourselves in an onslaught of overwhelming news.Rachel Feltman (Scientific American)
If bean-counter politicians will not consider funding better services for helping alleviate the mental anguish of children for moral, ethical or social reasons, perhaps the economic argument might sway them?
Or maybe not.

(1/3)
There were a lot of patients on the ward (possibly about 2/3) who never got any visitors.
Where were their families, spouses, parents, children? Not to mention freinds?
The ward staff were delighted that our daughter had visits and support from her parents, brother, neices and work-collegues - she was certainly the exception among the patients.
I like to think that our support helped in her recovery, I definitely think it made her stay there more bearable.
If you know of someone receiving long term hospital care - psychiatric or otherwise - please don't abandon them. Make an effort. It won't always be easy, but doing good isn't always the easy road.

Feeling Lost in a Chaotic Timeline
Once again, going to discuss some world events here. I try not to get into political stuff too much, but in the current climate I'm afraid its unavoidable. Here's the thing, if you are in the U.S.Eric Ravenwolf (The Artsy Brain)
Sometimes I wish it were possible to clean myself and wash my hair by willing it to be so, instead of having to actually DO it.
I know I'll enjoy the bath once I'm in it, but getting there seems like a monolithic task right now. However, I'm off to see a friend for dinner tonight, so I better had.
*Wills self*
Fuck, if #MentalHealth isn't hard to contend with sometimes.
Hope the rest of you are having a lovely weekend! 😘

The main issue with fluctuating #MentalHealth is that when life kicks you down *and keeps on kicking* with one thing after another, it's all the more difficult to get back up and keep going.
I'm okay, and I know I will *be* okay. I have good friends around me, supporting and loving me, and I will be just fine. It's just a bit tough while you're going through it.
Hope you're all having a lovely mid-week, and that the break in the rain is helping. 😘

I can see the need for armed police in some circumstances, but dealing with a man in an agitated mental state in his own home with such violence just affirms the callousness of the police.
A terrible series of events!

Went cold turkey on social media after the US elections, and it was great to clear my head and think about what I want to focus on in 2025.
This is where I've got to:
1 - Fuck #capitalism - cancel everything, no more corporate social media
2 - Fuck #fascism - 2025 is my punching Nazis era ✊
3 - Protect each other, build strong communities
4 - Focus on #MentalHealth and resilience
As the Satanists say - do no harm, take no shit 😈💜
