Self care is more than doing what brings you pleasure. It's an active choice about making a better version of you newtopiacloud.substack.com/publish/post...

Twitter is basically the used condom of social media.

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

Thanks to the great divide created by the demise of twitter, itโ€™s been a year or so since Iโ€™ve seen a progress update. Well done! Good progress!

I tried to move away a while ago, the first few federated servers I joined imploded.

Now I try to be socially responsible and just block/delete rather than hoping someone else will do it for me.

Slowly deleting my X once I track down who I want to follow here.

He's got the whole world('s moon) in his hands.

I hope no one asks him to take the wheel right now. That'd be awkward.

Great shot!

Feel guilt, it builds character. Feel weakness, it builds strength. Feel fear, it builds courage. However, if you allow yourself to only feel without building or perseverance to build further, you'll fester in the rot of apathy or compliance. The world may fail but you shouldn't fail yourself.

In Australia, installing an EV charger has significant cost implications for insurance. Speaks volumes of their โ€˜Eco-Warriorโ€™ greenscaping (at a substantial cost)

No one should die a horrific death from AIDS, we have the drugs to treat it! Last year 630K ppl died and another 1.3M acquired HIV. AIDS is not a thing of the past, and continues to disproportionately affect women of colour. Governments and BigPharma need to do better. #AIDS #WAD24 #HIV #U=U

On my recent trip with PsychsOnBikes I caught Jack Field (World Freestlye Trials Champion) mid show for a mens health check. His BP was spot on despite his heart racing at 160BPM. Jack was more concerned about his mate Billy Goat (Billy Gough) who he had just been bunny hopping all over. #menshealth

In 2023, Aids claimed 630,000 lives worldwide. 1.3 million individuals were newly infected with HIV. Almost half of these new infections were among young women and girls, bringing the global total number of people living with HIV to 39 million.
Of those, nine million did not have access to lifesaving antiretroviral treatment. Every week, 4,000 adolescent girls and young women are newly infected with HIV, while only half of the 1.7 million children living with HIV had access to the treatment they needed.
HIV infection rates among key populations were from nine to 23 times

HIV has changed for the better thanks to advances in medication, but AIDS is not over because many people in developing countries still cannot access lifesaving antiretroviral treatment. #WorldAIDSDay

Despite incredible advances made in the treatment of #HIV, there is still far too much stigma and misinformation surrounding the subject.

Here are five facts about HIV which are vital to understanding this #WorldAIDSDay
